Sainsburys Bao's of Holly review [Vegetable bao buns] and other finds

I didn't have any expectations for these buns but glad I got them after trying it.
The bao's are soft, moist and pillowly when microwaved.
The vegetable filling was nice and savoury and taste was much like the vegetable filling in the itsu gyozas.
You can really taste that aromatic sesame oil.
The vegetables were a bit mushy and you could see some fine silk threads which probably come from the yam beans and there was a slight bitter taste in the filling.
Overall pricey in Sainsburys term for £6 but cheaper and fancier than traditional China Town buns unless you go to Ping Pong or dim sum restaurants that are modern, presentable that are more for the English palate.
For me its about taste more than authenticity.
