Look at the golden checkered skin....it looked like pineapple skin. So it's being called bo lo bao, pineapple bun in Cantonese. The sugary 'pineapple skin' was a thin crust made of sugar, eggs, flour and lard (but I think our local bakery is using butter), as written in Wikipedia. The taste was....有点甜甜的, 充满了奶油滋味, 还有一丝丝幸福的香气. Haha! A little over, ya...
The moment you bite it....now, feel the softness and sponginess underneath the crust with your full heart.....
It's more than a plain bread though it's really 'kosong' and nothing found in there. The dough was sweetened (just a little) though....and that was a perfect match with the sugary crust on top.
Just one bite...and you will feel the happiness, am I not correct, JK?
Wao..look like very nice
ReplyDeletewah, bo lo bao!! u described really well Cindy. AND i almost swallowed my monitor while reading ur post!
ReplyDeleteyup, one bite and i'm in heaven. but hor, u must eat the one in HK. it doesn't taste like roti kosong at all. And my fav version is with a pc of one inch high butter *droooollll*
Cindy, the HK one is realy buttery... is not like roti kosong. We should plan a trip to HK just for food.
