Semi-circular and flat, the loaves are similar in design to a clamshell.

Lines or patterns may be added to increase the resemblance to a lotus leaf.

[1] If the lotus leaf bread is stuffed with fillings, it is referred to as a lotus leaf bun (Chinese: 荷叶包; pinyin: hé yè bāo).

The bread is traditionally eaten with rich meat dishes such as roast duck or pork belly.
