If disappointment had a flavour, it would be the T&T brand teriyaki chicken steamed buns. I LOVE a steamed bun, it tastes like warm happiness. I normally buy the Ten Ten Dim Sum brand, specifically the barbecue pork flavour. But I saw teriyaki chicken was on sale so I picked up a pack of those too.
How on earth did they make teriyaki chicken taste like NOTHING?! And it's not like they're cheap – Ten Ten Dim Sum is usually $2 cheaper per pack! Wtf
I ordered #siopao and it came looking like this. 🤪
Traditionally, restaurants distinguish between fillings -- pork asado vs bola bola -- by dabbing red food coloring on the bola-bola variant.
They went the extra mile with this one. 😄
