Focus: streaky pork Features: The dishes are red in color and bright in shape. The taste is fat but not greasy, gorgeous but not vulgar, and the meat is smooth, which is suitable for all ages. Legend: In 1088 AD, Su Dongpo was appointed as the chief magistrate of Hangzhou again. He led the villagers to build a dike in the West Lake, so that the surrounding fields are not afraid of waterlogging and drought, and the crops harvest year after year, which has really done a good deed for the people. The people were so grateful that they beat gongs and drums one after another to carry meat and wine to the prefecture. Su Dongpo accepted the pork when he saw that his hospitality was difficult to give up. He asked the cook in the mansion to cut the meat into cubes, stew the elbows in Meishan, his hometown, and cook the meat gently until it was tender and crisp, and then distribute the meat to the people according to the list of villagers. After people tasted the roast meat sent by Su Taishou, they felt special and delicious, so they all called it "Dongpo Pork", and the dike built to dredge the West Lake was called "Su Dike".
