it's the chinese bakery buns. They're not a delicacy lol.
They're just carbs mainly and whatever filling, usually something sweet
so more carbs.

Generally I stay away from eating bao( or pau in your terms) my rule of thumb is
if you want to eat healthy stay away from frozen food

"Our bodies break down, sometimes when we're 90,
sometimes before we're even born, but it always happens and there's never any dignity in it.
I don't care if you can walk, see, wipe your own ass. It's always ugly. Always.
You can live with dignity, we can't die with it."

Lotus Paste buns would be considered as sweets so I wouldn't eat it too often. Maybe every once in awhile.

If 2 or 3 pork buns can keep you full until the next meal, then I guess it's not too bad. I used to eat 2 veggie and meat buns for breakfast almost school day because those are easy to hold onto while I rush to class xD

I love pau too =)
It�s call pau^ in English terms, bao is in Chinese han yu ping ying.

I love lotus pau too.. I eat it like twice a week for breakfast.
Since it�s basically carbs and sweet filling, I eat it for breakfast because it makes me full too. Just take your time to chew the pau cause I feel that it�s rather drying if u eat too fast.
It should be at least 200kcals I BELIEVE(for a regular non-meat filling).. those with pork or chicken will be higher because there�s oil.. that makes it taste so nice and juicy.

am i hot or not? \ my space <3

lotus filled pau is awesome..!! i always have this misconception that chinese snacks/buns are healthier than like western sweets but i guess that is not the case. if you really like them that much you can try buying the mini frozen ones and having one when you crave it.
