Love To Bake Amy Yip Steamed Buns - Kl Sel Mff #5

These buns were non good known for the taste.
It's for the size.

Amy Yip was an infamous actress dorsum inward the 90's, she's famous non for her acting, but for her F sized property with a 21 inch waist. As to why these buns were named so... yous should hold out able to approximate why :)

These buns were outset sold inward Cheras dorsum inward the 1996. Read nigh it here inward Chinese. It was selling similar hot cakes when it outset launched, selling to a greater extent than than a thousand each day, collectively at all their branches. But every bit fourth dimension goes by, the curiosity reduced as well as it was reduced to nigh 300-400 each day. Although I stayed inward Klang valley for 10 years, I never e'er idea of buying ane to eat, although I accept passed past times the mobile stall many times inward Cheras. I never heard rave reviews nigh the taste, but alone the size.

And for MFF this time, I decided to brand this, as well as since I never ate it before, I asked around my swain readers as well as bloggers on Facebook for the taste. The feedback was, it gustatory modality similar whatever other "big bao 大包" only that it's agency way bigger. Nothing spectacular nigh it.

Ok then.. since that's the case, I'll only brand a large big large bao with the green seasoning for large bao, with pork, chicken, egg as well as jicama.. the green stuff.
