How it's used
Distinguishing between the two main types of crust is essential for any connoisseur. The flaky puff pastry version is known as 酥皮, while the cookie-like shortcrust version is called 曲奇皮. Most local bakeries will offer both, so specifying your preference is a standard part of the ordering process.
