This is another very yummy buns. The Chocolate Streusel Buns, it is also called Chocolate Polo Buns...'Polo' mean pineapple in cantonese. In Asia the buns is very popular, it is named polo because of the pattern on the streusel looks like the pattern of pineapple skin. It is a soft bun with sweet streusel topping that adds a sweet crunch and lovely flavor of butter or chocolate or green tea (please see here) or any other flavor to your liking.

糟糕!!烤的有点焦啦!不过还好还是好好吃!
pic A
1) Streusel/polo topping is a bit too soft to handle.
Cover it up in a cling foil and put in fridge for 30 minutes.
2) Take out from the fridge and scoop with a spoon into 25g each. Roll round (do this quick as the topping soften easily) After rolled arranged into a plate and put into fridge for later use.
3) Rolled the round topping between two sheets of plastic sheets.
4) Loosen out both plastic sheets from the flatten topping. Keep the bottom plastic sheet on. Lift up the plastic sheets with the flatten topping on and slowly paste on the shaped bun.
5) Run your finger along the bottom of the plastic sheet to loosen the flatten topping onto the
buns.
6) Slowly peel off the plastic sheet.
pic B
7) Nice and neat streusel top.
8) Use a plastic knife to press lines onto the topping.
(Repeat the same to the rest of the buns. If the topping becomes soften just put it back into
the fridge for a few minutes )
9) All are done!! Proof for 45 minutes.
10) Two other loaves. 1 plain loaf and 1 chocolate polo loaf. (the topping of this chocolate polo loaf is smooth)
11) After proofing for 45 minutes the chocolate polo topping crack nice and beautifully.
12) This is the baked chocolate polo loaf.
Soft and fluffy slices..: )
