Matcha "Pineapple" Buns 抹茶菠蘿包

The weekend that need not to bury me into study text! How relaxing it is after the completed exam.

Is time for me to challenge something new in bread baking. I miss the HongKong food always, especially the traditional breakfast, simple as a "pineapple bun", or egg tart, or "cocktail bun", or french toast, and a cup of hot milk tea....oh, that's really my favorite.

But all these are far from me, and due to this super miss, I gonna to challenge myself with "pineapple buns", a matcha "pineapple" bun. Why matcha? My hubby likes my matcha red beans toast so much, so I decide to use this recipe as a base, and top it up with "pineapple skin", 

The combination just came from what we crave for, we got a matcha toast that been modeling into buns and "pineapple skin" in matcha favor. The buns are just nice to taste, such a simple thing bring up my day!
