The bao was the weakest part. It was lightly fried, which made it tough to cut, and it didn’t have any flavor.

The fruit and whipped cream, however, were fantastic. The whipped cream had a deep vanilla flavor that lightly coated everything to make it creamy and amazing. The fruit was super fresh and crisp.

We tasted pears, blueberries, raspberries, strawberries and blackberries. It had enough sweetness to make it appealing while still retaining its lightness.

The portion was big for the price. And with how fresh and tasty this was, we’re sure we’ll get it again before it’s gone.

This bao bun will be available throughout the Lunar New Festival, which runs from January 17 to February 9, 2020.
