How it's used
Often found in local tea restaurants or bakeries as a quick snack. Unlike the Indian samosa which is typically deep-fried with a thicker dough, the Hong Kong style version frequently uses a flaky, buttery pastry crust similar to a puff pastry. It is a classic comfort food item that pairs well with milk tea.
