Lunar Lamb Sweet Buns at Din Tai Fung
Behold, the most adorable thing you can put in your mouth this week.
Overview
We've seen a damn lot of cuteness lately. First, Sydney went ahead and landed us our very first cat cafe. Then, Uber decided to deliver kittens to our very offices. But dumpling monarchs Din Tai Fung have gone ahead and created cuteness we can put in our mouths — take that Uberkitty OUT of your gob.
To celebrate the 2015 Lunar New Year, Din Tai Fung have created the sweetest buns we've ever been able to sink our teeth into. Offering up Lunar Lamb Sweet Buns every day from February 11 to March 5, DTF have fashioned little lambs out of their bao buns. Just LOOK AT THEM. They're called 'Baa Buns' because sometimes life just gets it right.
Good news, you don't have to connect the dots between the lamb inside and out of the bun — they're desserty little blighters. Baa buns come steamed-to-order with a formidable filling of molten dark chocolate and taro, $3.20 each or $6 a pair.
The little edible lambies will be available World Square, Central Park, Westfield Chatswood and their new Westfield Miranda outpost. There'll be limited quantities at each venue, available daily. But if you visit on the same day as us, we take no prisoners.
