This salted egg bao delivers on it's promise of being a lava bao because LOOK AT THAT LAVA. The precious salted egg filling oozes out like liquid gold the moment you tear it open. The salted egg taste is prominent and super savoury with a slightly grainy mouthfeel, but not the kind of overly grainy texture that's akin to eating sand. The bao skin is pretty average, it serves its purpose well in containing the salted egg so there's not much to say about it. Overall this bao is hella great but definitely really expensive with each small bao rounding up to around $2-$3 each. The price to pay for the bourgeoisie of eating liquid gold.

Shoutout to my friend Dorcas for putting up with my requests to take spam pics of her bao's 流沙 when all she wanted to do was stuff the whole thing into her mouth. And extra shoutout to my friend Kim for letting me use her iPhone to take about a hundred of these pics because the quality difference between her phone and mine is astronomical 🥵
