Before we left Hong Kong, I really wanted to have squab, which I am a huge fan of. I could only remember one place that had it and luckily, it wasn’t too far from our hotel and it was open late. When we reached the restaurant (sadly I cannot remember the name), I then remembered how I wanted to try their egg tarts when I ate here with my mom, but was not able to because they sold out. I made a huge mistake again and instead of snatching the few that were left outside, I waited until the end of dinner and they were ALL GONE. I was so sad – thwarted again by the infamous egg tarts! Despite not trying one, Taro and I instead decided to try the crispy bun.
What is a crispy bun? Essentially it is just a piece of sweet bread cut in half with butter and condensed milk on top. It was disgustingly good. It was warm, buttery, and crunchy on the outside with the soft goodness of the inner part of the bread. At first I thought Taro would think it was just plain fattening and excessive, but he loved it. He enjoyed it so much that we ordered another one. This time it had butter, condensed milk, and peanut butter. We demolished it – and were really curious to see what the other versions of the crispy buns tasted like, but we just could not do it. I could feel the pounds adding up and was thankful that we had to walk back to our hotel.
The crispy bun was a treat, but next time…portuguese egg tart!
