Polo Bao, also called Pineapple Bun, is a popular pastry originating from Hong Kong's vibrant cuisine. Despite the name, it typically contains no pineapple; the golden, crumbly topping resembles a pineapple’s texture. This sweet bun consists of a fluffy, soft bread base and a sugary crust made of butter, sugar, egg, and flour. Its delightful contrast of textures makes it a beloved treat in Chinese bakeries. While Polo Bao is rich in flavor, it’s relatively high in sugar, saturated fat, and refined carbohydrates, which may not align with healthier dietary goals. However, it does provide energy and pairs perfectly with tea or coffee. The absence of artificial additives in traditional recipes can be seen as a positive aspect. Best enjoyed in moderation, Polo Bao remains an iconic indulgence in Cantonese cuisine and a charming representation of Hong Kong’s culinary heritage.
