Or doughnut, if you will. Exciting sounding Yam ‘Nian Gao’ flavour aside, the dough on its own is worth a shoutout. It’s fluffy, light, and bouncy, yet chewy and stretchy like that of those super yumz regular bakery hotdog buns — all at the same time. Buttery and sweet like a good brioche dough, but not overly rich as well so you can really go at it without stopping. Now what I liked about the yam filling was that it was really really smooth and I could really taste the yam. I did find it a little bland though; I’d have personally preferred it to be a touch sweeter or just more aggressive, but I can see how many would enjoy how light this was.
