  • 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.

    しかし、この説は、クメール語の prey とベトナム語の”Sài”という2つの言葉が音声学的に全く異なるように見えることからすると、前者からどのようにして後者が導かれたのかという説明が完全に抜けている。 なお、クメール語の prey kor という言葉は前述したクメール語名のプレイノコールと混同すべきでない（kor はクメール語でカポックの木を意味する言葉であり、ノコールは「街、土地」という原義をもつサンスクリット語に由来するクメール語の言葉である）。 ゴン」（堤岸、Tai4ngon6）である。
