I think I can bake buns well. What I do not know well enough is how to wrap them up such that there’s enough filling in the center to bite into once it’s baked. I always think it’s enough, but it always turns out to be pathetic. Like the one you see here above.
Puff pastries are nice to munch into, though the reason why I don’t like to eat them too often is because it flakes very easily so eating it becomes a very messy business, making it difficult to remain tidy and lady-like. Most puff pastries have boring fillings inside too, mostly potatoes, curry and chicken. Some have hot dogs; some have cheese hot dogs.
This dish is so so delicious. I can’t emphasize that enough. The tofu was easy enough to make and steam, and the kai lan mixed into the pork mixture was perfectly disguised. It makes this dish perfect because it has everything it needs to be a complete meal (fibre, protein, meat, veg). So all you will still need is a piping hot bowl of rice – mix this dish into the rice and voila!
Whenever I visit the bakery for lunch, I will keep a lookout for savoury scones, so cheese scones are my favourites at bakeries. These days, being of a certain age, my taste buds have changed such that I no longer fancy sweet desserts or cakes and I need savoury bites alongside my coffee and/or tea.
