As a Cantonese kid, I grew up eating HK style bakery foods but I still love traditional Chinese steamed buns too, they my not be as fancy or modern but things like Char Siu Bao (bbq pork bun) and Nai Wong Bao (custard bun) will always be classic.

Me too. My favorite is also baked char siu bao, followed by liu sha bao (molten custard bun). I can only find steamed char siu bao where i live now though because there's not many cantonese people here.

There's some kind of light green mung bean paste that an H mart vendor used to put ribbons of into sweet, milky brioche. I prerty much compare everything from asian bakeries to that rather than just trying to enjoy things. I don't know why. I think because it was actually sweet enough. Sometimes Chinese sweets are very mildly sweet (which is refreshing) but I want more flavor to replace the sweetness. Maybe that's the European part of me being demanding.

I know the whole thing was sponsored by CX to promote a local Hong Kong bun culture. But, there are problems: 1. All buns are over-fermented to look bigger and appealing. It is definitely not a filling meal because u are eating air. 2. Normally, a loaf of freshly baked bread without preservatives will go stale in less than a week. I used to purchase a loaf of bread from one big Hong Kong bakery chain. It still looked fresh, soft and fluffy with a forever shelf life after three weeks of storage under normal room temperature.

perhaps the fruit tarts are actually where they got the inspiration to create HK egg tarts from? I mean we don't really have an actual detailed account of how it came to be, just that it was inspired by a European pastry that's similar.

I plan on visiting China in the next year and originally Hong Kong wasn't on my list because I was advised it wasn't the safest place for a single woman to go. I finally decided that I'm going to visit; after all, in 1980 I was going to move to Hong Kong. I had a job offer and was learning Cantonese, though my pronunciation wasn't great. When my friend, whose family offered me the job told me I'd need to learn Mandarin too, I became too overwhelmed and stayed in Canada. I'm determined to stuff my face when I get to Hong Kong; I've got many years of catching up to do 😂

Billion dollar global insight to max profits and charity donations via monetisation in anime, real life, movies, gaming or thesis. Feedback to Australia or global bakery owners to display conspicuous coloured signs with visual image of Hong Kong VLT lemon tea drink (sold by Woolworths Supermarket, VIC Australia) at cashier so customers (e.g. international time poor Asian students) can quickly buy chilled VLT lemon tea drink with their buns. The VLT lemon tea drink paired with pineapple bun helps the students think about home and feel better being in a foreign land. This motivate them to study harder and work harder in their casual jobs which boost the economies of both nations to max out bosses profits so management can max their charity donations to sick and starving orphans.
