The banquet will not be complete without desserts. This banquet menu actually includes three desserts but I only feature this very special one here–“longevity peach buns“. Inside the buns are lotus paste. The buns are in the shape of a peach, which represents longevity. Usually, if requested, bigger restaurants will provide this special desserts for the celebration of birthdays. Sometimes for big celebration and for the older old, they will present a very big longevity peach bun. This longevity peach bun is a favorite dessert of the kids although it is usually made to celebrate the birthday of the elderly.
Would you make this at home? I doubt it. I have not met anyone that would make this type of bun at home. However, if you want to try, check out this post in another blog which is quite interesting.
