Teochew Meat Muffin Wife Cake "is small in shape and delicate in taste, as meticulous and thoughtful as a little woman.
The seductive golden yellow crust, the layers of puff pastry inside are as thin as cotton paper, the crispy filling is smooth, and every bite gets a sweet taste like honey! Legend has it that in Guangzhou, there is a long-established tea house founded at the end of the Qing Dynasty, famous for all kinds of dim sum and cakes; one day, a dim sum chef from Chaozhou in the tea house brought all kinds of signature refreshments from the shop home for his wife to eat, and he did not expect that after his wife ate, not only did not praise the dim sum in the shop, but even said with disgust: "The dim sum in the tea house is so bland, there is nothing comparable to my mother's dim sum winter melon corner!" After hearing this, this master was naturally unconvinced, so he asked his wife to make a "winter melon horn" for him to taste! The wife used winter melon paste, sugar, and flour to make a charred yellow chic "winter melon horn"; this Chaozhou master ate it, the flavor was really sweet and delicious, and he couldn't help but praise the wife's snacks! The next day, the Teochew master took the "winter melon corner" back to the tea house for everyone to taste, and the tea house owner was even more praised after eating, asking who made the dim sum in which tea house? The masters said, "It was made by the Teochew wife!" So the boss casually said that this was "Teochew wife cake", and asked the Teochew master to improve it and sell it in the tea house, and the result was very well received! Hence the name "Wife Cake".
