Back in 2005, Umami went with his sister on the trip to adopt his niece. It was quite the adventure! Part of the fun, was trying Chinese-Chinese food, which is different from local Chinese food. These little guys were the most fun food on the trip. Basically, it's manapua dough shaped into little buns. You can order the steamed or baked. But when you get them together, they're "silver and gold buns." Supposedly a special occasion type food. Comes with a condensed milk and sugar glaze (at upper right), that finishes it off perfectly. This was one of Susan's favorites too. When we got back from Xi'an, we made a point of getting more of these--only the baked ones! Umami had forgotten about these, but now is on the hunt for them again, so if anyone knows someplace that makes these here, please tell!
