Melon pan is a classic soft bun with a crunchy cookie layer on the outside that has the appearance resembling the fruit rock melon or as many other people might know a cantaloupe. The word melon comes from its similar appearance to a melon while the word “pan” comes from the Portuguese language meaning bread. matcha gives that earthy and tiny bitterness that balances out all that sugar in the cookie topping. Matcha also gives a green colour so it’s great to resemble a rock melon.
