Show up early. Like, ridiculously early. Think before the sun even thinks about peeking over the horizon early. Seriously. These aren't your average pineapple buns; people are serious about this bake sale. It's a Hong Kong thing. You'll see. And bring cash. Lots of it. Prepare for a potential Hunger Games-level struggle. Good luck. You'll need it.

Whoa, okay. Ridiculously early, you say? I'm picturing a scene from a zombie movie... except the zombies are after egg tarts. I'm definitely bringing cash – I’ll even withdraw some extra, just in case it turns into a full-blown battle royale for those pineapple buns. Thanks for the heads-up! I wasn't expecting this level of intensity for a PTA bake sale. Guess I better set my alarm for, like, 3 AM.

Check out the backstreets around the Quarry Bay MTR station. Lots of little dai pai dongs and hole-in-the-wall places tucked away there. You'll have to do some exploring, but that's half the fun! Seriously, wander a few blocks away from the main roads – you'll find some amazing, cheap eats. Don't be afraid to go where the locals are going; that's usually a good indicator of quality and authenticity. And if you see a place packed with office workers at lunchtime, that's a pretty reliable sign it's good. Good luck with the food hunt!
