As Seattle Met wrote in an entire story devoted to the dish: "The delicate outer crust has the gentle crispness and light chew of other dim sum made with glutinous rice flour—pork-filled “footballs” and sesame balls—with an added crunch from pankolike crumbs all around the outside. Inside, the brilliant purple of the dough opens to reveal a silky smooth, sunshine-yellow custard."
