You just have the wrong Asian friend. You ever have pineapple bun? No it doesn’t have pineapple.
Most of the time it comes with nothing inside it. The crust itself is the tastiest thing, but there are variations, like a big slice of butter, or embedded red bean paste.
The recipes I’ve seen all use egg, milk and sugar, so I’d argue that they’re closer to cake than bread. But it looks fucking tasty and I will be making them soon.
