How it's used
This is a quintessential item found in traditional Hong Kong style bakeries. Unlike Western hot dog buns which are often split and filled with condiments, the sausage here is usually baked directly inside the dough. It is a nostalgic comfort food often enjoyed as a quick breakfast or afternoon snack.
