Pineapple buns, known as bo lo bao in Cantonese, are a popular type of sweet pastry from Hong Kong. Despite their name, they do not contain pineapple; instead, they feature a sweet, crumbly topping that resembles the texture of a pineapple's skin. The bun itself is soft and fluffy, often enjoyed fresh from the oven. These buns are typically served warm and can be eaten plain or filled with ingredients like butter or custard. Pineapple buns are a common item in dim sum restaurants and bakeries, making them a beloved treat among locals and visitors alike.
