Yuen Long, NT
West Rail Line: Yuen Long Station
Yuen Long, a district in the northwest corner of the New Territories, is surrounded by farmland and unused fields of vegetation where high-rises don't loom as tall as they do on Hong Kong island, or even Kowloon. Making a trip here? You'd better bring back some "wife cakes" for family and friends! Hang Heung (meaning perpetually fragrant) claims the title to selling these infamous pastries known in Cantonese as lou po beng. Made of winter melon and almond paste, they are flaky and fragrant on the outside, soft and sweet on the inside, and most simply put, a delicious snack :)
wife cake
One red little box contains six of these romantically inspired (as the name implies) pastries. Mine was still piping hot when I bought it :)
So many pastries to choose from!
