Guangdong Chaozhou originated from the Guangdong Chaozhou dim sum wife cake. The outer skin is baked into an attractive golden color, and the layers of pastry inside are as thin as tissue paper and extremely crispy. When you bite into it, the crumbs fall all over the floor. You can taste it with every bite.

Get the sweet taste like honey!

The cakes made by my wife are favored by the boss. According to legend, there is a time-honored teahouse in Guangzhou that was founded in the late Qing Dynasty. It is famous for its various snacks and cakes. One day, a snack chef from Chaozhou brought various kinds of snacks in the teahouse.

He brought such signature tea snacks home to his wife to eat. Unexpectedly, after his wife ate them, not only did she not praise the delicious snacks in the store, she even said with disdain: "The snacks in the teahouse are so bland, none of them are as good as mine."

My parents’ snack is winter melon wedges!” After hearing this, the chef was naturally unconvinced and asked his wife to make “winter melon wedges” for him to try!

My wife used winter melon puree, sugar and flour to make a uniquely browned "winter melon corner". When the Teochew chef ate it, the flavor was indeed sweet and delicious, and he couldn't help praising his wife's ancestral dim sum!

The next day, the Chaozhou chef brought the "winter melon corner" back to the teahouse for everyone to taste. As a result, the teahouse owner was full of praise after eating it and asked who made this dim sum in which teahouse.

The chefs said: "It was made by a Chaozhou wife!" So the boss casually said it was a "Teochew wife cake" and asked the Chaozhou master to improve it and sell it in the teahouse. The result was a great success!

Hence the name "Wife Cake".
