The taste is good. The cream is not sweet. It can be used as a midnight snack at night and as breakfast in the morning.
葛文怡 Jessica
It was sooo good!!!
springfam2020
I thought it would be creamier. Maybe it’s because I put it in the fridge and waited one day to eat it, but it was a bit dry and could have used more cream. Still good though! I would buy it again if it had more cream.
Yuki
It's delicious and full of cream! 3rd time! The price isn't too expensive either.
inori
Tastes like a dinner roll with whipped cream. the cream is not evenly distributed throughout the roll, it's only a strip in the middle. The cream has no coconut flavor. There are sweet coconut shavings on top. the bread itself is chewy and not super soft, but I did put it in the fridge. I will probably not purchase this again.

This was a little smashed but still yummy.

Tried these buns for the first time because they were on sale. They taste just like ordering from a restaurant, especially when you warm them in the air fryer. The instructions say you can microwave the buns too, but it won't taste as nice.

Hong Kong-style pineapple buns are delicious, and the price is very reasonable; they're just as good as those from freshly made bakeries.
