Tang-style baked goods / 唐餅

Some of the most common Chinese bakery products include mooncakes, sun cakes, egg tarts, and wife cakes.

[edit] 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. There are also regional differences in overseas cities with large Chinese presences, particularly those in Asia like Penang, Ipoh, Jakarta, and Bangkok.[citation needed]
