榮華老婆餅 wife biscuit

Wing Wah (榮華) is one of the two most popular wife cakes makers in Hong Kong. Their first restaurant-bakery (they are famous for Chinese preserved meat too) was opened in 1950, and has now expanded into a catering chain with over 30 outlets in Hong Kong.
Wife cake (老婆餅; lou po beng) is a Chinese pastry traditionally made of winter melons paste. Wife cakes these days came in variety of favours though; such as red bean, almond, coffee, green tea, sesame seed, lotus seed and cheese etc.

在部分產品中加入國學知識或民間典故，和顧客附庸風雅一番。這包括了王羲之以對聯勸退小偷；窮農夫以對聯智退債主；甚至有「老婆餅」的典故！傳說古時有一對貧窮的夫婦，為了替家翁治病，妻子甘願賣身。失去妻子的丈夫卻沒氣餒，努力研製出一款美味餅食，終於靠賣餅賺錢把妻子贖回。這就是流傳至今的老婆餅！
