Lin Heung Lau Bakery
×Sweetheart Cake
Why you must eat itA round pastry about the size of a palm. Inside layered thin crust sits a pale filling of winter-melon paste and sugar. Fresh-baked the crust flakes and falls, the filling soft with a faint melon scent. Not very sweet, and good with tea. You can buy a box to take away — a standard gift. Easy to eat as you walk, though the crust sheds, so carry the paper bag.
A baked pastry the Lin Heung Lau bakery has long made, its name drawn from an old tale. Xiguan sweets pride themselves on restraint, and the sweetheart cake is one. Prices and hours are a guide, and the range is fullest just after baking. Many buy it as a gift, and some kinds sell out by evening.
