Swee Heng 1989 has tons of unique and innovative buns that I was so tempted to try. But I settled on this pretty purple domed bun as the combination of taro and salted egg sounded amazing. For $2, this is quite a delightful bun to pick up.

It’s got so many textures going on for it. The top was flaky, with multiple layers of crusty purple and cream swirled skin. The bottom of the bun had the texture of bread, which provided a solid base for this interesting bun. Hidden in the middle of the bun were a trio of fillings - taro paste, mochi, and salted egg, which were a riot of flavours and textures. Sticky, creamy, chewy, gritty mouth feels that had saltiness and sweetness just made this a (pretty big) bun that I didn’t get tired of. Recommended if you like yam and salted egg!
