[Hong Kong Street Food] Black Sesame Roll, also known as "Film Roll"
Nowadays, traditional Chinese pastries are becoming increasingly rare, yet their precious, nostalgic flavors are packed with the taste memories of a generation.
Black sesame rolls, also known as "film rolls," were immensely popular in the 70s and 80s—a quintessential Hong Kong sweet treat that was a must-have in old-school dim sum restaurants. Deep black and glossy, they offer a multi-layered experience that is soft, chewy, smooth, and resilient. Rolled into 5 to 7 delicate layers, each bite releases an explosion of sesame aroma! Many have likely tried the quirky way of eating them: unrolling the sesame roll until it’s long and thin, savoring it bit by bit, or even playing with it before finally eating it!
