The Pineapple Bun, or "bolo bao," is a popular pastry from Hong Kong-style cuisine. Despite its name, this sweet treat contains no pineapple; instead, the name refers to its signature golden, crisscrossed topping that resembles the fruit's rind. The bun itself is made with ingredients such as flour, sugar, milk, butter, and yeast, while its topping consists of sugar, butter, egg, and flour, creating a crisp contrast to the soft, fluffy bread beneath. While rich in flavor and texture, Pineapple Buns are high in refined carbs, sugar, and fat, making them a less healthy choice in terms of nutrition. They offer little in the way of fiber, protein, or vitamins. However, when consumed sparingly, they can be a satisfying indulgence and a cultural delight, often enjoyed with milk tea or as part of a Hong Kong café experience.
