Why shopping at an Asian supermarket is like playing Russian roulette
Not too long ago, I was at an Asian supermarket when I came across a packet of 8 bao zi (a meat and/or vegetable filled bun) for the ridiculous price of $3.15. Curious, I picked it up to take a closer look when I saw the “ingredients” …

I really want to say something witty about that, but I can’t.
shady! hahaha
ahaha
oh no. mystery meat!
dang, might as well go by the real thing that taste better, cheaper and fresh haha
LOL!!!! Now, THAT is truly from China . . .
what? You’ve never had ingredients before?
Lol, that sounds like something House would say!
vegetarians getting their revenge!
Dude, ingredients stands for whatever they killed in the back alley that morning. Hummmm…..I started by kidding but who knows. =P
What’s wrong with ingredients? It’s full of fiber and it’s low-fat. Win-win, yo.
SOUNDS DELICIOUS!
well….at least it didn’t say cat.
i was thinking the same thing as lelandwong
you know what’s ironic? u spending all that time studying in business and ending up being a photographer… and me spending all that time in art school and ending up doing trades for a living.
you should watch “the untold story” starring anthony wong. then eat the buns. and enjoy!
Hahahaha! I’m more worried about the mold than the “ingredients” they put in! hahaha!
right, i once went to the neighborhood asian supermarket to buy come chicken. I looked at the packaging date, and it was listed as two days in the future. They have time traveling chicken, shouldn’t it be more expensive?
ROFL
Don’t worry, it’s probably no different than what we’re fed in the hospital/school/other cafeteria. Bon apetite!
Sketch!!! Ha ha ha.
I’m sure they just meant to say that the ingredients varied… hopefully between meat or veggies. Not…. anything sketchy.
I think that’s so adorable. :]]]
Did you buy it? :]]
@Liera - Well, I have always wondered how Asian supermarkets are able to undercut American supermarkets in almost every product category …
@lelandwong - If it said “cat”, at least then I’d know what it actually contains. But as it is …. lol
@bannaniez - I’m not sure if I want to. Does it involve eating human flesh…..?
@Compressive_String_Force - You know, I don’t know which is asking for premature death from indigestion: eating time-traveling chicken, or eating buns made from “ingredients”
@adietersdilemma - Wow… I’m surprised you’re the only one who asked if I bought it. And the answer, unfortunately, is …… yes, I couldn’t resist. haha
hey, it makes perfect sense! “What does a bun contain?” “Ingredients.”
Perfect sense! lol XD
maybe =p
one of the cops said he doesn’t eat pork buns because you never know what’s in them.
freakin shadddyyy to the max
I hope you bought them!
@junshien - Ohemgeeohemgeeohemgee. :]]] And then you can blog about what the ingredients are. :]]]
Gotta love Asians and their Engrish…
Ingredients…so one is left to guessing.
ingredients fail … FTW
My Grandma made lumpia (Filipino Spring Rolls) for a local cooking segment on TV. When it came to seal the lumpia wraps to be deep fried, she simply used an “egg mixture”.
