It’s that time of the year again, folks.

23 July, Tuesday, 2019.

My beloved pet gerbil Tony Leung’s birthday.

But hey, nobody really cares about his birthday. He’s just a gerbil; he’s gonna die soon anyway. So instead, I’m gonna talk about BreadTalk’s latest launch:

A range of buns inspired by local dishes, as well as new pastries that feature familiar local flavours.

Aesthetic, appetising and novel, they’re an obvious talking point for this article.

Sorry Tony Leung, next time alright.
