Strawberry Compote/ Drizzle Recipe using Honey (No Sugar!)

This strawberry compote is a naturally sweet and versatile topping that celebrates the fresh, vibrant flavours of strawberries. I like how this recipe swaps refined sugar for honey, creating a healthier, all-natural delight that perfectly balances sweetness and tartness.

Whether it is served over yogurt, pancakes or cakes, you can drizzle this honey-sweetened compote to add a touch of summer while retaining the wholesome goodness of the fresh fruit.

Tucked away in the lively streets of Mong Kok, Kam Wah Cafe & Bakery (金華冰廳) is a true icon of Hong Kong’s dining scene. Established in 1960, this vibrant cha chaan teng has been delighting locals and travelers alike with its mouthwatering offerings.

The Star Attraction: Pineapple Bun

When you visit Kam Wah, you must order their pineapple bun (bo lo bao). Despite the name, it doesn’t contain pineapple; it’s named for its crust which looks like a pineapple's skin.

This delightful pineapple cake, made with almond flour, is a tropical twist on a classic dessert. I like how moist it is, and it is overall very easy to bake. It's a no-fail recipe!

After baking, let it cool before serving, and consider serving it with some Dole pineapple juice or topping it with a light coconut cream for an extra touch of tropical bliss! Enjoy every bite!
