Convenient and pretty good quality. Great for family meals.

Breakfast savior! Frozen dough steamed for 10 minutes tastes just like freshly made dough. The dough is soft and fluffy with a wheat aroma, and when you bite into it, it's full of meat juice. The meat filling is tender and not greasy. One is enough to keep you full until noon. A must-have for lazy moms!
liujiang
The quick and easy breakfast flavor is great, but the packaging isn't airtight; it can't be sewn up after opening.

My family loves these meat buns. They are on the smaller side but that makes these the perfect snacks. We wrap them with a damp paper towel and plastic wraps, and microwave them. Probably better to steam but the microwave method isgood enough and super quick.
