Kompia[1] or kompyang is a bread product that originates from Fuzhou, the capital city of Fujian Province of China as well as Fuqing.

[2] It is popular in Fujian and has spread to other areas including the Ryukyus, Taiwan, and parts of Southeast Asia including Indonesia and the Malaysian towns of Sitiawan, Sibu,[1] Ayer Tawar, Sarikei,[3] Bintangor and other places where the dominant Chinese community is of Fuzhou (alternatively romanized as "Foochow") and Fuqing ancestry (where it is sometimes nicknamed "Foochow bagels").

When Qi Jiguang led his troops into Fujian in 1563, the Japanese pirates, fearing his name, engaged mainly in guerrilla-style battles.

Qi Jiguang noticed that the Japanese pirates could always trace where his troops camped because of the smoke that rose up to the sky when the soldiers prepared their meals.

A sweet variant known as 征东饼 (literally "Conquest of the East cake") uses a proportion of sugar to substitute the salt in the dough.
