Hong Kong Style French Toast
My hands-down favorite dessert to order at Hong Kong cafes growing up was Hong Kong Style French Toast (西吐司). Unlike traditional French toast, this classic Western-inspired recipe is made with thick fluffy bread slides and peanut butter (or sweetened condensed milk) sandwiched in the middle! Growing up, this dish was basically the only thing my mom and I would order at Hong Kong-style cafes because it’s NOT your average Joe Shmoe French toast recipe. First off, it’s thick and fluffy, and it’s usually made with an incredibly light loaf like the leftover Japanese Milk Bread that I used here, though you can substitute other white bread loaves with the crusts trimmed if you’re in a rush. It’s also traditionally filled with a thin layer of peanut butter and served with a side of maple syrup or sweetened condensed milk that sends your taste buds bursting through the roof of your mouth in near-orgasmic ecstasy. Oh, and it’s deep fried, so it definitely needs to be part of your next balanced breakfast.
