| Pineapple Bun with butter |
Many Hong Kong restaurants offer an item called a "buttered pineapple bun", which is a pineapple bun with a piece of butter inside. It is called Por Lor Yau. It is the variant of pineapple bun.
The pineapple bun may come in miniature sizes (迷你菠蘿包), and/or it may be used as a bread-roll to sandwich for example luncheon meat (餐肉菠蘿包), or it may be pre-stuffed with red bean paste (紅豆菠蘿包), custard cream (奶黃菠蘿包), barbecued pork (叉燒菠蘿包), or a sweet filling of shredded coconut (椰絲菠蘿包) as in that in a cocktail bun.
It you want to try 'Por Lor Bau' or 'Por Lor Yau ', you can just visit '金華冰廳 '
which is located at G/F, 47 Bute Street, Prince Edward
