Signature Dishes
Signature Ice-Fire Pineapple Bun with Butter
The pineapple crust is crisp and the butter lightly salted; eating it warm better preserves the hot-and-cold contrast, while a cold serving tastes different.
President Pineapple Bun with Butter
Its fermented butter has a stronger milky note; choose it when you want to amplify the butter flavor; if the difference does not matter to you, the signature is enough.
LV Pineapple Bun with Butter
A higher-grade butter option with a noticeably higher price; if you do not notice a clear difference in the butter, the signature is enough.
KitKat Chocolate Pineapple Bun
The chocolate flavor is rich but quite sweet, suited to sweet-toothed diners; the sauce may be scant.
