Other pastries such as the cocktail bun and the sausage bun are less popular, but are staples in local breakfast culture. These beloved snacks are uniquely Hong Kong, but the story of how they were created involves the city’s history of colonisation, migration and war. In this episode of Eat Drink Asia, Post Reporter Lisa Cam visits chefs and bakers to find out how bakeries in Hong Kong learned from different cuisines across the world to create baked goods with a distinct local identity.
