About Wife cake

Wife Cake, also known as "Lo Por Beng," is a traditional Chinese pastry originating from Cantonese cuisine. It features a flaky, golden-brown crust made from wheat flour, lard, and sugar, enveloping a soft, sweet filling of winter melon paste, glutinous rice flour, and occasionally almond or sesame seeds for added flavor. Renowned for its delicate texture and mildly sweet taste, Wife Cake is often enjoyed as a snack or dessert. While it offers some benefits from its winter melon filling, which is low in calories and contains trace amounts of vitamins, the pastry is high in refined carbohydrates, fats, and sugar, making it an indulgent treat rather than a health-conscious option. Moderation is key to enjoying this beloved Asian delicacy while maintaining a balanced diet.
