🇸🇬This pastry deserves way more hype in SG🤤

Found this Hubei-style pastry in Chinatown and I'm honestly shocked.

Super thin, crispy skin, not oily at all.

Hubei people... I finally get it.

No regrets.

I tried it, it’s not bad. But I’m a simple folk. I still prefer the local 豆沙饼。Both sweet and salty ones alike.
