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
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), 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.
