These good ol’ favourites may never go out of style, but those pecking around for more creative eats may satisfy their tastebuds with these new mashups that have hit the market.
Wait, these are black. But don't let that put you off: each buttery nugget encases a filling made of pineapple jam and barbecue pork (bak kwa) bits.
