love letter

1. A letter written to express the author's love for the intended reader.

   We never see each other, but have been sending love letters every Valentine's Day for 10 years.

   Liebesbrief, Billetdoux

2. (figuratively)A work that shows great passion or enthusiasm for something.

   This movie is a love letter to New York.

3. (US, slang)A notice from the U.S. Customs and Border Protection informing about the seizure of a personal shipment as contraband.

4. (Malaysia, Singapore)A thin crispy biscuit roll similar to the Spanish barquillo, Dutch kniepertjes, and Norwegian krumkake. Usually made from coconut milk, eggs, flour, sugar, and oil. This food item has many names: in Malay, kuih/kueh/kue kapit/sepit/sapit/semprong (literally "clamped/tongs/roll cake/snack"); in Chinese, 蛋卷 (literally "egg roll"). The name "love letter" probably arises from the flowery patterns, Chinese characters, animals, etc. (that were probably introduced by Peranakans). Usually eaten only around festivals such as Chinese New Year or Hari Raya Puasa. Sometimes also folded (rather than rolled). Note: while "egg roll" is a name sometimes used for this food item in Singapore and Malaysia, in the West, the name "egg roll" usually refers to a very different, savoury Chinese-American food item that is usually served hot and has little or no egg.
