About Custard bun dim sum

Custard Bun Dim Sum is a beloved treat originating from Cantonese cuisine, often enjoyed during traditional dim sum gatherings. These fluffy, steamed buns are filled with a rich, creamy custard made from a blend of egg yolks, sugar, butter, and often coconut milk or condensed milk, giving them a delicate sweetness and velvety texture. While they are a delightful indulgence, Custard Buns are more of a dessert item than a health food. They offer a source of energy from carbohydrates and fats but are relatively high in sugar and calories compared to other dim sum options. Moderation is key when enjoying this dish, as its rich, satisfying flavor can make it easy to over-consume. Pairing Custard Buns with less calorie-dense options during a dim sum meal can create a balanced dining experience while savoring this iconic Cantonese treat.
