Yes, this is real. Yes, you can find it today to try it. Red Bean Bakery, a Wan Chai bakery, is selling a mammoth 12-inch-wide pineapple bun for only HKD202.
Operating a chain location in Mong Kok too (where you can sadly only find their regular-sized pineapple bun), Red Bean Bakery is jumping on the trend of oversized foods popular and beloved in Hong Kong.
Central-based coffee and brunch spot Cookie DPT recently launched a combo of a gigantic croissant and oversized cup of coffee.
You need to order the mega-bun in advance, so call Red Bean Bakery or head there in person to order. We have eyes all over the city, and we can guarantee that this is the largest commercially available pineapple bun Hong Kong has ever seen.
