Yuen Long 老婆餅 Lou Poh Peng or Wife Cake is world famous, initially made popular by Hang Heung restaurant that first served wife cake in the 1940s and the rest is history. Since then, it has become a must-eat food for tourists. Customers commented that their wife cake is exceptionally delicious compared to those from other shops. The winter melon filling is tasty and chewy in generous amount wrapped in fluffy fragrant pastry. The fresh ones are definitely better than the pre-packed version. They also sell other local treats.
