Kimbo Chinese Chive Pasta Cake

I generally like Kimbo as a brand, but I think these chive cakes are slightly inferior to the Foodhut ones. They're much bigger, and thus don't stick together as well. The flavor is still scallion-y, but has a hint of spinach/cabbage flavor. The dough is a little bit less gooey, I guess? A tiny bit of flakiness? It's just OK. They definitely didn't fry wonderfully, but I think I can do better. Still, I will buy the Foodhut ones instead. (And no, these do not have the same filling to dough ratio as on the package!)

Score: 3.5/5 - Not as good as the smaller, squishier Foodhut Chive Dumplings.

Kimbo Vegetable Delight Bun

So, a repeat of the Kimbo Vegetable Delight buns. They have very similar ingredients to the Kimbo Mix Vegetable Buns. I liked them slightly more. The filling had a little more texture to it. Can't say they were excellent, but were better than the last bunch. Still, I think we won't be buying more of the Kimbo vegetable buns, likely. I feel like we can do better. Perhaps I over-steamed them compared to my previous review, where we all loved them (see this review). Just not as much of a hit this time.

Score: 3/5 - These were very similar to the previous Kimbo buns, but came out slightly less mushy.

Kimbo Mix Vegetable Bun

The ingredients lists on some dim sum things include stuff I have no clue about and have to look up online. For example, these buns contain tremella, a type of funghi that is apparently parasitic on other funghi. Well, it tasted fine. Overall I was not huge on these buns. They were just kinda squishy, and a little too large for my tastes. The flavor of the assorted vegetables was pretty plain, and they were cooked enough that there wasn't much to the texture, just kinda mushy. I can't say I was sold on these.

Score: 2.5/5 - These were just OK.

Vegetable Delight Buns

These Kimbo Vegetable Delight Buns are another Kam Man score, from the frozen aisle. I served these during a dim sum brunch at my house, and they were universally liked. These buns are big, with a good soft dough. The praise-filled descriptions included phrases like "pleasant earthy aroma" and "delicate mushroom flavor", which are pretty accurate to me. The filling didn't have much crunch, but there was a little texture. Overall, these were pleasant buns, with a pretty unique but gentle flavor. (Most mixed vegetable buns are cabbagy, which is not bad, but they are very similar to each other...)

Score: 4/5 - Dug'em! Wish there were more than three in a pack!
