THE STORY

Hot-and-Cold Pineapple Bun with Butter

A fresh bun is split around a cool butter slab. Crisp crust gives way to soft, lightly springy bread; melting butter adds smooth mild salt against restrained sweetness. Eat hot for the contrast.

House Iced Milk Tea MetroBites visit photo

House Iced Milk Tea

A refrigerated blend of teas is served without diluting ice. Bold tea, restrained sweetness, and a lingering sweet finish lead, while milk stays secondary and non-cloying with the bun.

METROBITES LOCAL TIP
Read the package guidance before heading home

If not eating takeout immediately, check the package for storage and reheating guidance. For crisp shell and cold butter contrast, eat it hot.

✨ AI quick take

何太守港式菠蘿包專賣店 is a Gongguan takeaway shop on Section Three, Tingzhou Road, walkable from the MRT, devoted to fresh pineapple buns and Hong Kong milk tea. Its simple recipe omits artificial colors and flavors, and buns are never rebaked. It suits a hot snack during a Gongguan walk or Hong Kong treats to share at home.

Interior and atmosphere:A purple sign and restrained façade frame trays of buns emerging behind the counter and round golden loaves in glass. This is takeaway-first without restaurant seating, though a bench outside serves those waiting for the next batch. Baking aroma reaches the street, making it a specialist bread window rather than a broad cha chaan teng.
Location and dining notes:The address is 台北市汀州路三段167號, about three minutes from Gongguan Station near NTU. Buns bake in fixed batches adjusted to crowds; visit around the hour or half hour for oven-fresh texture. Eat on site for crispness, or follow package storage and reheating guidance at home.
● Pang Pang Set

The set pairs one Hot-and-Cold Pineapple Bun with Butter and House Iced Milk Tea, combining hot bread, cool butter, and chilled tea. Golden crust encloses fluffy bread, while bold tea checks the bun's sweet-salty richness—a direct introduction to both signatures.

● Hot-and-Cold Pineapple Bun with Butter

A just-baked bun is split around cold butter. Crisp shell leads into soft, lightly springy bread; melting butter adds smoothness and mild salt against restrained sweetness. Eating it hot best reveals the temperature contrast and preserves the crust's layers.

● House Iced Milk Tea

Several teas are blended and refrigerated without added ice. Bold tea comes first, sweetness is controlled, and a sweet finish remains. Milk never overwhelms the tea, preventing cloying richness with the crisp bun. It suits those who prize distinct tea over heavy dairy.

Uncle's line: catch the pineapple bun right from the oven—hear the crust crack first, then let cold butter melt slowly into the bread.
💡 Ordering note

First-timers can try both signatures in the Pang Pang Set. To focus on bread, order the Hot-and-Cold Pineapple Bun with Butter and eat it hot. The compact menu mainly varies butter and drink pairing. For long takeout, confirm storage and reheating instructions at pickup.

📌 Editor's summary

何太守港式菠蘿包專賣店 keeps its menu concise and focuses on fresh baking and bread itself. Check the oven schedule, then choose a Hot-and-Cold Pineapple Bun with Butter alone or a Pang Pang Set with milk tea. Crisp crust and soft springy crumb gain sweet-salty temperature contrast from cool butter; House Iced Milk Tea resets the palate with bold tea and a lingering finish. This clearly positioned shop is an easy Gongguan stop for direct Hong Kong-style afternoon snacks.
