Bakery Types
Although there are large overlaps in the products sold at Hong Kong-style and Taiwan-style baked goods, there nevertheless remains significant differences between the two types. For instance, bread cake and pineapple tart was developed in Taiwan-style bakeries, while the cocktail bun is a Hong Kong style product. Hong Kong bakeries have more western influence due to the 150 years of British rule that ended in 1997 and the presence of the former Portuguese colony of Macau just next to it. There are also regional differences in overseas cities with large Chinese presences, particularly those in Asia like Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, Penang, Ipoh, Jakarta, and Bangkok.

Famous quotes containing the word types:
“The American man is a very simple and cheap mechanism. The American woman I find a complicated and expensive one. Contrasts of feminine types are possible. I am not absolutely sure that there is more than one American man.”
