Banana roll is a common Chinese pastry found in Hong Kong. It may also be available in some overseas Chinatowns, but is considered rare. Each roll is a banana flavored circular tube, slightly bigger than an adult sized index finger. The cake is soft and made with glutinous rice. Ingredients may vary a little depending on where it is purchased. Sometimes it may have a cinnamon swirl filling. While other times, the more traditional red bean paste maybe used.
