I tried going down to Bugis at 5PM to get this viral bun ($3.80), only to be told that it’s sold out. So this time I booked an earlier Bugis spin class so I could come after and buy this bun. Thankfully still had stock.


It comes with a taro flavored crust of some sort. I can’t see any lava inside, maybe it would be flowy if I heated it up. There’s mochi, taro paste and salted egg paste in the bun, so there’s quite a lot going on, but everything balanced each other out. Salty-sweet perfection yums! And of course between stretchy chewy mochi and chunky yam paste, the texture component is down ☺️ the mochi is also rly good, like I got so many good mochi pull shots even with one hand 🖐️


The bread itself is soft and fluffy, but it’s definitely the complex and nuanced filling that takes the spotlight here! Also idk why but there was some flour thing that fell all over my black clothes haha. Still deffos worth a try but do rmb to head down early!
