A sweet heart cake (Cantonese: lo po pang; Mandarin: lao po bing; Chinese:老婆餅, "Wife Cake") is a traditional Chinese pastry made with winter melon and almond paste.
There are many classes held in Hong Kong for making sweet heart cakes. The Sweet Heart Cake, though it has such a long history, is still popular among many in Hong Kong. Many people in Hong Kong, as well as professional chefs, are reportedly modifying this pastry to make it more "modern" and better-tasting.
One of the most well-recognized sweet heart cake shop is the Heng Heung Cake Shop (恆香老餅家[1]) in Yuen Long, New Territories, Hong Kong [citation needed].
Legendary Origin
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 learnt 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.
