Pineapple bun is not the bun stuffed with pineapple, on the contrary ,there are no stuffings in the bun. We call it "pineapple bun" just beause it looks like a pineapple after baking. Paying a visit to Hong Kong, pineapple bun is the must eat in breakfast and high tea.
The boh loh baau (literally meaning 'pineapple bun') is the holy grail of what may generously be termed the Hong Kong school of baking. It's firm on the outside, soft on the inside and topped by crunchy, sugary pastry. Popular enough to have been exported around the world -- step into a Chinese bakery in Toronto, Taipei or Tianjin and you're likely to find one -- it's ubiquitous in Hong Kong. It's the perfect complement to milk tea, especially if you have it with butter, a variation known as boh loh yaau.
