Growing up. This was one of my favorite to get at the Asian Supermarkets in the Bakery and Hot Food Section.

These Fluffy Steam Buns are filled with Delicious Fillings inside with Chinese Sliced Sausage, Sliced Boiled Eggs, and Pork & Vermicelli Fillings that you find in Southeast Asian Egg Rolls.

This is a must try if you like the fillings of Egg Rolls. Just imagine biting into Fluffy Bao Buns with the fillings of Egg Rolls instead of the Egg Roll Wrapper.

This is made throughout Asia. Everyone makes this definitely. One thing in Common! They are all so Delicious 😮‍💨🙌🏻🤤.

Now you know how it looks like. Grab one when you see one ☝🏻 as nowadays it’s hard to find.
