You got a problem with that? Then don't put your buns out on display! Kidding :) They look very authentic and shiny too! I love that. Bread is even more temperamental than any other baked thing, so I have no idea why it wasn't lighter.. Maybe commercial bao are spiked with dough improvers (or maybe baking powder, ha ha ha).<br/><br/>I don't normally greet people since I am bitter and unpleasant, but Happy Valentine's Day to you and Joe :)<br/><br/>(I know of this "personal tirade" you speak of... I was a victim of the same person not long ago. Since you deleted it, I wasn't able to catch it, I hope it wasn't disturbing or too offensive for you. I think it's part of the initiation rites, haha :) Yes, I’m looking at your buns! You got a problem with that? Then don’t put your buns out on display!

I love working with dough when I have the time, but you're right ... this is one of those things that is probably best purchased. :-) Yeah, the buns are very affordable at Sheng Kee, the bakery I normally shop.

It brought a laugh. =) I have a penchant for Chinese bakeries as well...though I'm Chinese so maybe I'm biased. I never tried making them though. They're too cheap for me to try to make them (and there's one a few blocks from my house!). Nice title for this post!
