Chef Hon Steamed Green Vegatable Buns

These Chef Hon buns are misspelled on the package, but they are green vegetable buns. The actual filling is bok choy with egg bits and noodle bits. I would call it OK overall, but I prefer that type of filling in a dumpling. With a bun, I'd rather have something a little more flavorful, less filler. These came frozen from H Mart, and I steamed them and that worked just fine. The filling to dough ratio is good, and the dough is fluffy. However, with all the other choices out there, they don't make a mark. I might buy them again.



Score: 3/5 - Eh, these are fine, but in the crowded field of greens buns I prefer these ones with a little Shiitake.

Chef Hon Steamed Green Vegatable Buns

These are some of the last remaining buns from Kam Man. I know I mentioned at some point that I've moved, so the South Bay Shopping Center and its Kam Man are no longer in my backyard. I still have some goodies from there, but pretty soon it will be a distant memory... Anyway, on to the buns. The filling in these had a lot of green leaf vegetable bits, sort of like spinach bits, and generally held together well. There was a little onion flavor, according to my fellow taste tester. The bun dough was alright, on the bready side but not dry.



Score: 3.5/5 - These are pretty good for simple vegetable buns. I am still on a quest to find an amazing vegetable bun, but these are certainly good.
