Pineapple oil
Pineapple buns are listed as one of the must-try foods in major Hong Kong travel books, and are even regarded as a representative of Hong Kong's cultural heritage. Hong Kong people attach great importance to the freshness of pineapple buns, and as long as the shop that sells pineapple buns is concerned, they will inevitably use heated coolers to ensure the crispy texture of pineapple buns. Authentic pineapple oil must be made with a mellow pineapple bun with puff pastry, cut horizontally in the middle, add frozen butter while it is hot, and the butter melts with the heat of the fresh pineapple bun, which is the famous "ice and fire pineapple oil". Pineapple oil must be eaten hot, otherwise the puff pastry will become soft after too long. Eating pineapple buns alone may be too sweet and greasy, but the light saltiness of butter is just right.
