How it's used

Distinguish this clearly from the traditional steamed 叉燒包, as the baking process gives the dough a sweet, buttery, and slightly crispy texture similar to a pineapple bun. It is a staple item found in local bakeries and tea restaurants, often served warm straight from the oven. Unlike the steamed version, the filling here is typically diced smaller and mixed with a savory onion gravy.
