Kimbo Sesame Bun: I no longer live close to an Asian grocery store, so on my last day with a rental car, I made a trip to Albany's Ranch 99 and stocked up on frozen asian foods, like dumplings and buns. There were many brands I recognized from my days reviewing frozen buns from Hmart, but I decided to take a risk and purchase one I hadn't seen before named Kimbo. Lucky enough, these Taiwanese buns turned out to be quite good. Steamed in my rice cooker, the bread is soft and fluffy and barely sweetened. The black sesame filling is more dense and dry than most, but with only 6g of sugar per bun, the entire snack is well balanced. It's also sizable enough to be a breakfast on its own. Would definitely purchase again, and I'll post about other flavors I try! 3.5/5.0
