Always forgot/don't know which version of Breadtalk's yam bun to take so I finally bought both ($1.80 each but $3 for both) to do a direct comparison. The white version is filled with Taiwanese yam chunks amongst the yam paste, while the purple version contains a wine-soaked longan and purple-coloured yam paste.

Generally, I don't like the powdery top for both as they tasted 'extra' and masked the flavour of the yam, when the amount of yam isn't generous to start with. But if I've to pick one, I'd prefer the white version because the bun is chewier and the yam tasted more real/natural; the purple version is simply a letdown with its tasteless fillings which are better off not being there.

In all honesty, Breadtalk has long been a disappointment because they always price their products so highly when the quality and quantity isn't even there. Worse still, they're consistently jumping on bandwagons/food trends to seize opportunities for extra profits without even ensuring that their usual products are well-made.
