Each rose steamed bun costs NT$30, and the color scheme varies with each one. They are primarily made up of six colors: red from red cabbage, yellow from carrots, purple from purple sweet potato, green from matcha, brown from chocolate, and beige from pumpkin. About the size of a palm, these colorful and cute buns are especially adorable to hold.

Xiao Du Buns was created by the owner, who spent a lot of time perfecting the taste of the handmade buns his father used to make in his childhood. Aside from 11 flavors of steamed buns including rose and matcha, the shop also offers buns that carry the taste of home, such as onion BBQ pork buns, egg yolk mushroom pork buns, spicy lion’s head meatballs buns, bacon sausage buns, big pork buns, seaweed shredded pork buns, spicy bamboo shoot buns, vegetarian cheese buns, vegetarian curry vegetable buns, and more – there’s something for everyone, no matter your preference.
