叉燒包

叉燒 is BBQ pork (叉 is fork, and 燒 is roasted, so 叉燒 is fork roasted). 包 is bun, so 叉燒包 is BBQ pork bun

This bao is unique in how the white, fluffy bread splits like a craggy rock formation, often with seams that reveal the filling of BBQ pork mixed with a sauce (ingredients include hoisin, oyster and soy sauce).
