A LITTLE SOMETHING TO READ
Story & history
Xianghe Meat Pie and the Ha Family Tradition
Local tradition links Xianghe meat pie to a Hui Muslim family surnamed Ha, who moved to the county and opened a shop, bringing their pie-making craft. Xianghe meat-pie making is listed as Langfang municipal intangible cultural heritage. Together, the family story and recognized craft connect the dish with Xianghe’s local food tradition. The family’s historical Hui background does not establish the meat or halal status of a particular serving today; ask the seller if that matters to you.
