three kingdoms period mannose pastry ヾ(＾-＾)ノ 刘备の喜饼～椰黄甘露酥

i was captivated by this pastry because of it’s history… in fact, this is a famous wedding pastry in china. once upon a long long time during the Three Kingdoms Period, Liu Bei had a romance at Mannose Temple whilst he was crossing Dong River and a wedding ceremony was then set up at that temple. The monks then prepared a pastry for the newly wed and named it the mannose pastry… and this, was then passed on to future dynasties and generations… (*⌒▽⌒*)θ～♪

这是一个不折不扣的❤️意酥饼。。甘露酥，是中国著名的婚宴美点。传说，在三国时代，刘备曾在过东江时，在甘露寺巧遇一段良缘，并在此招亲！该寺的僧人特别为这对新人制造了一款酥饼，取名甘露酥。。也因此流传至今，成为日后婚宴的点心
