King pastries are made from wheat flour, sugar and oil. The tops are sprinkled with sesame seeds for a punch of flavor and decoration. When someone is described to have consumed a King Pastry it often meant that he has just been lectured or scolded.

Photographer’s Favorite no. 2 is theRoriTAI’s second favorite Hong Kong pastry. Unlike pastry no. 1’s sinful, chocolate calories and carbs, this light and fluffy chocolate moose is a pleasant pastry, minus the guilt. The thick, ripe slice of banana hidden underneath all that chocolate goodness creates a surprise for the enjoyer and a perfect finish to this heavenly dessert!
