There seem to be very few things in the world as hideous-looking yet bursting with quirky charm as the Ugly Baby. A dim sum specialty shop in Hong Kong has developed the "Pink Peach Steamed Milk Custard Bun," dying the bun pink and making it so that when you lightly poke the face on the bun with chopsticks, the peach will immediately spit out milk. With its disgusting yet oddly amusing appeal, many travelers say it “looks just like a certain part of the female body,” attracting fans of Ugly Baby who make special trips to try it.


▲% The store has partnered with Ugly Baby to launch a special dim sum series themed around the character from now until September 30. There are about 10+ unique dim sum items in total, all designed with the likeness of Ugly Baby. The whole shop has also been redecorated in line with the Ugly Baby theme, turning it into a character-themed restaurant. From the large plush toys at the entrance to the posters and hanging artwork, even the cups, plates, and teapots are all covered in the Ugly Baby family’s likeness.








Among the many dim sum offerings, the "Pink Peach Steamed Milk Custard Bun" is a standout — a bizarrely fun bun that travelers describe as “looking just like a certain part of the female body.” It has a pink exterior, and its filling is made with 3.6% Hokkaido milk from Japan, egg whites, and white sugar, giving it a coconut milk flavor and aroma. To enjoy this custard bun, diners can poke its mouth with chopsticks before eating, causing the filling to gush out — a sight that’s both gross and hilarious.

Besides the Pink Peach Steamed Milk Custard Bun, the shop also offers the "Pink Peach Fresh Milk Tart" and the "Ugly Baby Shrimp Dumplings." The fresh milk tart is also made using 3.6% Hokkaido milk from Japan mixed with egg whites, while the shrimp dumplings contain big, solid chunks of shrimp filling. The meal is not only delicious but also visually entertaining and highly memorable. However, does the Ugly Baby Restaurant actually taste good? The reporter must honestly say that taste is subjective — it’s all about the fun.
