There are so many bakeries in Beijing, it’s hard to keep track. One thing that immediately separates a lot of Chinese bakeries from more Western ones are the adorably decorated buns. These hippos (I think) were so damn cute I had to snap away.

I wasn’t kidding about the cuteness. These happy pandas almost distracted me into buying them even though I’m not a fan of the red beans inside.

My mickey-shaped (or bear-shaped) breakfast of a pineapple bun.
