So how were these irresistible cakes invented? The creation of pineapple cakes is traced back to the 1970s, when pineapples were one of Taiwan\u2019s main export goods. Pineapples were so richly harvested that people back then had to think of ways to use them up. Great minds came together, and after lots of trial-and-error, pastry chefs finally discovered an ideal ratio of pineapple to winter melon to create the most fruity, yet not overly tangy jam, which is divinely complemented by the crumbly, buttery crust that seals everything altogether. \u00a0(text source: <a href=\"http:\/\/city543.com\/taipei\/2014\/04\/02\/pineapple-cakes\/\" target=\"_blank\">city543.com<\/a>)<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" src=\"http:\/\/www.dream-vigor.com\/upload\/factory\/s01032.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"310\" height=\"300\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" src=\"http:\/\/www.dream-vigor.com\/upload\/factory\/bth128.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"310\" height=\"300\" \/><\/p>\n<p>(photo source: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.dream-vigor.com\/factory.php\" target=\"_blank\">\u7dad\u683c\u9905\u5bb6\u9cf3\u68a8\u9165\u5922\u5de5\u5834<\/a>)<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><strong>National Palace Museum <\/strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.npm.gov.tw\/en\/\">http:\/\/www.npm.gov.tw\/en\/<\/a><\/h3>\n<p>The collection of the National Palace Museum mainly deals with art and artifacts of Chinese heritage.
