Be aware that 'pineapple buns' (bwolwo bao) normally do not have egg custard filling as you have depicted. The egg custard filled buns externally look the same as the 'pineapple buns' but are called 'guy yeung bao' -- not sure what that is in English.

It seems a lot of Chinese buns can fall under the category of pan dulce! Mexican buns and bo lo bao both resemble kinds of pan dulce. Related, perhaps?
@ chinowitz: Yeah I know. I wrote pineapple buns with egg custard filling.
