1st SESAME BUNS

So delicious! The dessert buns come out freshly steamed. The bao and the sesame paste are prepared perfectly. Not too sweet and the right texture for the bao.

Egg Custard bun... Lava style! 😋
6th PIRIKARA CHICKEN BITES
Marufuku Ramen, Oakland

9th MATCHA LAVA BUN
Dim Sum Basket, Brentwood
Best when eaten warm and straight from the steam basket. I've heard about these "lava buns" and had to get one. Very strong matcha flavor and the bun was delicious, too. If I'm in the area, I'd order it again.
JUST OK
13th CREAMY YOGURT UBE BUNS
Din Ding Dumpling House Union City, Union City
I was hoping for this to be sweeter vs being subtly sweet. The texture of the bao and filling were great, which made up for the low sugar aspect of this "dessert".
