Part 4/12:
Next is a Hong Kong-inspired dish from the cha chaan teng cafes, featuring thick slices of soft, milky white bread, reminiscent of steamed buns. The chef spreads peanut butter generously, then cuts off the crusts before dipping the bread in an egg wash, careful not to tear it. Pan-fried until golden on all sides, it’s then drizzled with butter and condensed milk, creating a rich interplay of crispy exterior and soft interior.
The layered textures, combined with the sweetened condensed milk, evoke a comforting, nostalgic flavor. This Hong Kong-style toast exemplifies how simple ingredients—bread, peanut butter, eggs, milk—can come together into a delightful street food experience.
