When we visited Hong Kong, we made sure to try their famous pineapple bun and milk tea. The texture of the bun resembled that of a paparotti, but it was even smoother and fluffier. Their milk tea was an absolute must-try, offering a unique and delightful flavor. To overcome language barriers, we often relied on Google Lens for translation, and I’m happy to share the prices we paid for these delectable treats—all in Hong Kong dollars.
