emmetan Thanks for all the comments. So, what is a wife's biscuit?

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A sweetheart cake or wife cake is a traditional Chinese pastry made with winter melon and almond paste.

A long time ago in feudal China, there was a couple that lived a very poor life. They loved each other and lived in a small village.

Suddenly, a mysterious disease spread. The husband's father became very sick. The couple spent all of their money in order to treat the man's father, but he was still sick. The wife sold herself as a slave in exchange for money to buy medicine for her father-in-law.

Once the husband learned about what his wife did, he made a cake filled with winter melon and with a crispy crust. His cake became so popular that he was able to earn enough money to buy his wife back.

There is another version where the man was eating at someone's house and recognized his wife's pastry and was reunited.


I don't have a good photo of a wife's biscuit/Sweetheart Cake. You can find it on top of no 7. You can also find a better picture of a wife's biscuit here.
