Don't be misled by its name- pineapple buns are nowhere healthy. Especially if they're as addictive as Kam Wah's. Best eaten warm out of the oven, these buns have a crunchy and sugary crust that shatters with every bite. Buttery golden pastry meets soft and fluffy bread, what's not to like?
This definitely ranks as one of my favorite eats in Hong Kong and costs just HKD5 per piece to boot. I would have these for breakfast everyday if I stayed in Mongkok! Remember to ask for polo yao if you want a slab of butter with your polo bun- I didn't, but the polo bun was darned delicious on its own already!
