Wife Biscuit

This morning we had an email from Tong to help ourselves with the wife biscuit in the pantry.

So the colleague asked why is it called wife biscuits.. I also don’t know …

Inquisitive-ly….


[edit] Legendary Origin
A long time ago in feudal China, there was a couple that lived a very poor life. They loved each other and lived in a small village.
Suddenly, a mysterious disease spread. The husband's father became very sick. The couple spent all of their money in order to treat the man's father, but he was still sick. The wife sold herself as a slave in exchange for money to buy medicine for her father-in-law.
Once the husband learned about what his wife did, he made a cake filled with winter melon and with a crispy crust. His cake became so popular that he was able to earn enough money to buy his wife back.
There is another version where the man was eating at someone's house and recognized his wife's pastry and was reunited.
