About Bolo bao

Bolo Bao, or Pineapple Bun, is a sweet pastry originating from Hong Kong’s rich culinary tradition. Despite its name, it contains no pineapple; the name refers to its golden, crisscross-patterned crust resembling a pineapple’s surface. The bun’s soft, airy bread base is made from flour, sugar, milk, and butter, while the crumbly topping is a mix of sugar, flour, and lard or butter, giving it a tender sweetness and satisfying crunch. While beloved as a breakfast or snack, Bolo Bao is more of an indulgence than a health food. It’s high in refined carbohydrates and sugar, with minimal protein or fiber, making it energy-dense but low in sustained nourishment. Modern variations, such as versions filled with custard or served alongside milk tea, add to its popularity but often increase its calorie count. Best enjoyed in moderation, it offers a delightful taste of Hong Kong’s iconic bakery culture.
