  • Pineapple Bun is a classic sweet bun famous in Hong Kong. Despite the name, it does not contain any pineapple. It is called so because the skin of the bun resembles a pineapple skin. This is achieved by a special baking technique that makes the top of the bun into crispy, crunchy and sweet topping with pineapple checked-like pattern. While the top of the bun is made from cookie type dough, the rest of the bun is soft normal bread dough. This bun is commonly served like a sandwich where it is sliced through the centre and eaten with butter.
  • Average HK$ 5-6
  • Sweet

Kam Fung Cafe is an old school Hong Kong style cafe that has been in most locals’ childhood memories since 1957.

Not to mention the level of crunchiness of the top of the bun which is in a beautiful golden brown colour. This cafe is the best retro cafe in Hong Kong if you want to try out all the traditional pastries, snacks and tea of the olden days.

Traditionally, mooncake is a round-shaped baked pastry filled with either lotus seed paste or red bean paste and complemented with an egg yolk.
