My friend bought me something from her Hong Kong trip last 2 weeks. It’s “Lou Poh Peng”, well I also don’t really know how to pronounce it in English. Should we translate it directly? ( Lou Poh Peng = Wife Biscuit )… hmm.. don’t think so.

Actually this “Lou Poh Peng” is a type of biscuit with red beans or green beans paste. In those old days, people normally use this “Lou Poh Peng” as a gift to notify people that they are getting married soon. What a good tradition, not like nowadays people give “RED BOMB”, cannot eat and not environment friendly. (50 invitation card , 50 years old tree gone). So guys and gals out there, never ever give “Lou Poh Peng” to your friends unless you are getting married.

Does this mean she getting married soon? Nope. She bought that because Yuen Long, Hong Kong was very famous of it “Lou Poh Peng” biscuit. Well, actually I don’t see any special of it plus the taste only so-so.
