The 12 Best Chinese Bakeries In San Francisco - San Francisco - The Infatuation

"You can’t visit this Sunset spot without picking up one of the signature pineapple buns. The soft, airy rolls don’t actually contain any of the tropical fruit, but get their name from the pineapple-looking pattern that forms on the sugary, buttery top after they’re baked. The buns are sliced in half before a slab of butter is wedged inside (pick from a rotating list of flavors including guava, salted egg, and pandan). Be sure to also round out any order with their BBQ pork buns and Portuguese egg tarts." - megan zhang, julia chen 1, patrick wong
