How it's used
Often associated with traditional dim sum or local bakeries, this item is a staple comfort food. While many buns are served hot, the texture of the bean paste can vary from smooth to slightly chunky depending on the shop's recipe. It is frequently chosen as a vegetarian-friendly option compared to meat-filled buns like 叉燒包.
