Ping on bun
Ping on bun () is a type of traditional Hong Kong food.
==History==
In mid-Qing Dynasty, a pandemic had spread through villagers in Cheung Chau and caused a lot of deaths. As a result, villagers decided to gather before Pak Tai and pray, and later on were instructed to set up altars and say mass to scare the evil spirits away. Afterwards, islanders built temples to show gratitude to Pak Tai’s blessings, and see him as the guardian of the village.
As years went by, the annual Cheung Chau Bun Festival became a tradition. Villagers dressed up as gods to vanquish the evil and Ping On Bun is used to build the bun towers (three towers that stood 18 meters tall and made of a huge number of buns) during the Cheung Chau Bun Festival. Buns were to be distributed to the villagers after prayers and used to offer sacrifice to Gods and ghosts.〔何耀生，《香港風俗及節令文化》(香港：明報) 78-79 頁〕
The villagers believed that eating hot Ping On Bun helps warding off disease, and spread the Pin On Buns which have been powdered into the sea can help to restore calm of the sea.〔發霉包都有人搶. (2014). Retrieved November 4, 2015, from http://hk.apple.nextmedia.com/news/art/20100523/14058731〕
