These shepherd’s purse and egg buns came recommended by a reader, though I actually already had them in my freezer by the time the comment came through.
They are part of the ‘paper skin’ line, which is an accurate description given the superb filling to skin ratio as seen on the cross-sectional image provided. The skin, despite its thinness, was extremely strong, bouncy, and held up well to steaming.
My wife and I were less impressed by the filling, however, and felt that the taste was a bit bland. This was easily corrected with a bit of chilli crisp and vinegar, but having to add flavour to a prepackaged frozen bun isn’t exactly my dream.
I wouldn’t get these again, but I do like some of Ruyee’s other offerings.
