[quote=CHERRY07,511290]Lao Po Bing, literally meaning “Wife Cake”. It’s a famous dim sum in Guangdong Province. A dim sum maker went from Guangzhou to visit his families in Chaozhou. He brought back some delicious dim sum and shared them with his families. His wife told him “the dim sum tastes not as good as Dong Gua Jiao I made.”after she tasted the dim sum. Her husband said “Really? I am eager to taste your Dong Gua Jiao. ” His wife boiled a winter melon until it was well done. Then she added white sugar and flour in and kept boiling until the mixture became sticky. Then she wrapped boiled winter melon mixture with flour wrappers and fried them in hot oil until its surface turned golden. Her husband tasted Dong Gua Jiao made by his wife and then laughed. He said “It’s very delicious.” Later, he brought some Dong Gua Jiao back to Guangzhou and shared with other dim sum makers. They all said his wife cooked delicious dim sum. Another dim sum maker told him “Dong Gua Jiao isn’t a good name. It’s your wife who cooked this. Why not name it Lao Po Bing?” Therefore, the fried pasty with sweet winter melon made by his wife has a better name “Lao Po Bing”. [/quote]
