Cocktail (Coconut) Bun

Celia Sin-Tien Cheng

The cocktail bun originated in Hong Kong and is ubiquitous in Chinatown bakeries. A long butter roll (smooth, soft and fluffy) is stuffed with a mix of mashed buns, sugar and coconut shreds. This baked good was originally created to recycle leftover buns (similar to the origin of croutons), and the addition of coconut was to make it more flavorful. Well, it’s a hit! For just 80¢, you can satisfy your hunger and sweet tooth. How can you beat that?
