But they forgot that キタキツネ can also hunt native wildlife, not just the rabbits. >.<<br /><br />Yes, pineapple buns are sold in asian bakeries, which are easy to find. I like it because the topping is crumbly like a biscuit. It tastes slightly buttery and 甘い、but it really depends on how good the bakery is. ^^;;<br /><br />サマンサnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5151046447294521040.post-66604650420879577252013-09-18T23:27:20.437+09:002013-09-18T23:27:20.437+09:00サマンサさん、こんにちは!いつもコメントありがとう!!
I didn't know tha...サマンサさん、こんにちは!いつもコメントありがとう!!<br /><br />I didn't know that キタキツネ are inhabiting in Australia as well. Very interesting to know that they are considered pests there... I wondered why, but I remember that キタキツネ have parasites called echinococcus which cause serious symptoms to infected people. Is this the reason??<br /><br />I haven't had pineapple buns, but it looks similar to melon pan. Are they available in Australia? Do you like them?<br /><br />I love cantaloupes, but unfortunately they are too expensive here. You gave a great advice to your father :) I hope the Japanese professor enjoyed some delicious slices of Australian melon!!<br /><br /><br /> Yukohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15454402407917506008noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5151046447294521040.post-73352742751872310342013-09-07T22:13:43.829+09:002013-09-07T22:13:43.829+09:00こんにちは、優子さん〜

Then I scrolled down further and saw that you mentioned melon-pan too, haha!<br /><br />I had always wondered about what melon-pan was like, despite knowing that it is a fluffy, sweet bun with a biscuit-like coating on top. And I thought 'melon' was an unusual name for a bread. But just recently, I realised that the Chinese have a similar thing too: Pineapple buns! (bo loh buns) <br /><br />Here's a link to a picture:<br /><br />http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-OMQbQd-ct0g/TqPIiAyHNQI/AAAAAAAAFFw/ctgiulvp4HE/s640/Lan+Fong+Yuen+%2528%25E8%2598%25AD%25E8%258A%25B3%25E5%259C%2592%2529+Pineapple+Bun+aka+bolo+bun.JPG<br /><br />Maybe you've tried this before? I used to think that there was some sort of pineapple-flavouring in the topping, but it actually has nothing to do with pineapples... ^^;; Except for its golden & crackled look.<br /><br />Waah, melons can be really expensive over there! XD That's why when my dad was meeting up with a Japanese professor, I recommended that he take some sliced rockmelon (cantaloupe) for morning tea ♪<br />サマンサnoreply@blogger.com
