In addition, there is a legend about wife cakes. According to legend, there is a time-honored teahouse in Guangzhou that was founded in the late Qing Dynasty and is famous for its various snacks and cakes. One day, a dim sum chef from Chaozhou in a teahouse brought home a variety of the shop's signature snacks for his wife to eat, but she found them unpalatable. My wife made sweet and delicious winter melon wedges using winter melon puree, sugar and flour. The Chaozhou chef brought this pastry to the teahouse. After eating it, the boss was full of praises. When asked who made it, the chef said It was done by a Chaozhou wife. Hence, the wife cake got its name.
