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.
