This one is by far the best
Saturday, we and some friends went to Hong Kong Saigon Seafood Restaurant for dim sum. This place serves great dim sum - see the post. Since one friend knows the managers (he comes to this place quite often), we got a privilege of getting the snow mountain bun (we did not know the correct English version so we just translated the name literally.) The snow mountain bun is all white. Many people have told me how tasty the snow mountain barn is. I was so curious. So, once one set was available, I took one.
Oh, the snow mountain bun was so fragile. The outside looked like a mountain covered by some snow. The snow part was crispy. The mountain part was super soft. With one bite, I absolutely knew why people praised this dessert so much. The inner part was the taro filling. The taro was not too sweet. The filling was rich and also soft. The filling completes the pastry. I bet you that you can have tons of the snow mountain bun without getting bored.
One thing interesting was that the snow mountain bun went short super fast. A senior manager normally brought 10 sets of snow mountain buns out. He could not go too far. Once the snow mountain buns appeared, all waiters and waitresses ran to the manager and grabbed as many as possible to their customers. If your table is around the front part of the restaurant, you will never have a chance of witnessing the snow mountain bun popularity.
