Despite the name, the pineapple bun has no pineapple—it’s a soft milk-bread bun with a sweet, buttery, crackly cookie-like top that, after it’s baked, resembles pineapple skin.

Thick slices of milk bread are stuffed with creamy peanut butter and soaked in an egg batter for a luscious and exquisitely custardy interior.

Mochi that’s this soft and chewy (the key is coconut milk!) is practically begging to be paired with a delightfully crunchy peanut filling.

These pillowy milk bread buns are filled with an irresistible combo of sweet-and-salty pork floss, mayonnaise, and savory furikake.

Encased in these mooncakes are a filling of coarsely ground pistachios, fragrant honey, and a generous sprinkling of salt.

If you’re lucky, you’ll find mooncakes with an egg yolk or two, which means there’s more of the best part to share with your family.
