Hong Kong pineapple buns
Pineapple buns are a bread food for Hong Kong people from young to old.
In the past, it was because the price of pineapple buns was relatively low.
After that, because pineapple buns are already a part of our life.
Now, it's because pineapple buns are a collective memory of Hong Kong people.
In addition to some single bakeries, you can go to Taipan, Saint Honore Cake Shop, or CAFÉ 100% to buy pineapple buns.
The traditional pineapple bun is priced at HK$7 each, and it is available in both Tai Pan and Saint Honore Cake Shop.
The pineapple bun with red bean paste is sold at HK$10 each, and it is available at CAFÉ 100%.
Of course I like traditional pineapple buns, but between Taipan and Saint Honore Cake Shop, I think Taipan is better, especially if it is freshly baked.
Now, there are some pineapple buns with a large slice of butter added, which sell for more than HK$10.
Some emerging bakeries offering big-sized pineapple buns serve at HK$10.
