About this dish

Ping on bun is a traditional Hong Kong food. It is a steamed bun consisting of low-protein rice flour and sugar, with a filling of either lotus seed paste, sesame, or sweet bean paste, that is then stamped with Chinese text reading "peace" or "safety". It is best served hot or at room temperature. The ping on bun originates from Cheung Chau island in the Islands District of the New Territories of Hong Kong. It is strongly associated with the annual Cheung Chau Bun Festival, which revolves around the ping on bun and includes the construction of tall towers of buns.
