Easy to make and steam up. The ratio to the bun and custard isn’t much. It’s cute but not the most amazing taste wise. My son liked it but not enough for me to get it again unless he wants it again.

The taste is ordinary, but the kids love the shape

These buns are super cute, but I wish they had more custard filling. There’s so much bun and not enough custard inside.
