Pineapple Pastry
Pineapple pastry is said to originate from as early as the Three Kingdoms Period. Pineapple is also known as “Wang Lai” -- an auspicious expression suggesting the prosperity of future generations in Southern Min dialect. It is thus often used by the Taiwanese as an offering to gods. It is also widely used in contemporary wedding customs in Taiwan, and is a favorite food of the people.

Pineapple cake

Pineapple cake (Chinese: 鳳梨酥; pinyin: fènglísū; Zhuyin Fuhao: ㄈㄥˋ ㄌㄧˊ ㄙㄨ or Chinese: 王梨酥; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: ông-lâi-so͘) contains butter, flour, egg, sugar, and pineapple jam. However, some bakers add or substitute pineapple with winter melon to make the jam. Its crumbly, fragrant crust and the chewy, sweet fruit filling come together as a companion for tea and other beverages. Origins[edit] In Taiwanese wedding tradition, the wedding cake has six flavors symbolizing six rites, among them being pineapple. In Taiwanese Hokkien, "pineapple" (王梨; ông-lâi) sounds almost the same as a phrase meaning "to come forth, prosperous and thriving" (旺來; ōng-lâi),[2] and symbolizes the hope that many children will be born to this family. The pineapple is also a common tribute Taiwanese people offer to venerate the deceased. In this case the corresponding phrases (旺旺/旺來) symbolize deep love for the ancestors.
