Pineapple bun
A pineapple bun is a kind of sweet bun predominantly popular in Hong Kong and also common in Chinatowns worldwide. Despite the name, it does not traditionally contain pineapple; rather, the name refers to the look of the characteristic topping (which resembles the texture of a pineapple). The history of the pineapple bun, also known as Bo Lo Bao, can be traced back to the post-World War II era in Hong Kong. During this time, there was a significant influence of Portuguese culture in the region. As migrants returned to Hong Kong, they sought to incorporate Western elements into the local cuisine while also adapting to local flavors.
