'pineapple' bun (菠蘿 = pineapple); coconut bun -- a bun with a sweet coconut filling found in many Chinese bakeries; does not actually contain pineapple, but so-called because the top of the bun has a checkered design that was supposed to look like the outside of a pineapple (not all bakeries bother with the design so some pineapple buns don't even have any connection with pineapples anymore) | sometimes erroneously written as 菠蘿飽

a pineapple bun, where the top of it is made to resemble a pineapple
