Yummy Toddler Foods: Wholemeal Pumpkin Mantou

I chanced upon another breakfast item for Hannah at Hougang Festival Market’s NTUC supermarket. :D

While browsing at the frozen section, I came across a variety of brands for mantou in various flavours. Mantou is the Chinese equivalent of the Ang Mo’s bread. It is northern Chinese steamed bun. New Moon’s pumpkin wholemeal mini mantou caught my fancy. Doesn’t the description sound so healthy already? Besides the healthful pumpkin, wholemeal flour and sesame seeds weaved into the buns, there aren’t any trans fats, preservatives, artificial colouring and flavouring. And these come in mini sizes – just nice for the little tum tum!

The preparation is easy. Just thaw the desired number of buns and steam them for 8-10 minutes. Voila, you have little hot, steaming buns for breakfast!

The taste?

Mommy: *has a mild pumpkin flavour, sesame crunch … it could use a bit more moisture …* :P

Hannah: *as long as I could put it in my mouth and munch, mommy* :)
