These bright orange buns are plump with warm filling, which customers devour like this: first pinch a hole, then slurp the buttery molten lava, and bite the fluff.
Visit Crystal Jade Dining IN in BGC on a weekend afternoon and you'll see every table decorated with all sorts of dimsum — it's eat all you can, after all, and best to come in very hungry for this regular food offering. And for certain, you will notice baskets filled with plump, bright orange buns, looking like mandarin oranges — it's not just on weekends, but on regular occasions, as this dish is their best-selling dessert that melds together sweet, creamy, salty, soft, and fluffy.
Veterans of the Chinese restaurant come in for their fill of fluffy Steamed Cream Custard Buns with Salted Egg Yolk, three pieces of sweet and buttery happiness encased in soft bread.
