I don’t get the point of spamming so much coarse sugar onto the middle surface of the bun. It literally doesn’t value add to anything lol. The bread dough was very normal, like any other bakery kind of normal, which was disappointing after taste testing the mochi pork floss, gokoku komeko & kokutou x kokutou. It’s like I went up on a roller coaster and then went back down when I ate this. Probably a bad analogy but moving on. I’ve actually tried this once before and I liked the custard a lot so I got it again. Fortunately they give a lot of custard cream so it masks the average taste of the bread dough. The sign said vanilla was added into the custard, and you can really see specks of vanilla in the cream. I always get very excited when I see vanilla specks as it means that they used the real deal. The custard cream is mildly eggy and milky, and very creamy. It is also not very sweet so the cream is very addictive. When you eat the coarse sugar with the rest of the bun it really disrupts the goodness of the bun lol it adds extra sweetness & 0 flavour, like sis I am trying to enjoy my custard it’s not your turn to shine yet please go away. I wish they take away the sugar part but o wells. While the custard is really good, it doesn’t have the local bakery custard kind of taste that I’m currently craving, the ones closer to Gardenia or Dayplus’s custard cream bun (it’s lacking the flavour? it’s like have but they diluted it with milk or something) so it’s not 100% satisfactory :/ But still a good bun to try at Gokoku if you like custard :)
