Shandong fancy Mantou sell for thousands of yuan

Kneading dough, shaping, color mixing, proofing, steaming... The entire process is done purely by hand, and complex works require several consecutive days of production. Recently, in Heze, Shandong, a series of China-Chic flower steamed buns that blend traditional Chinese styles with folk symbolism have gained favor in the market, with some customized works priced up to thousands of yuan.

According to Ms. Xie, who specializes in creative steamed buns, she has been in the industry for five years. Initially motivated by her love for craftsmanship, she later shifted to the field of pastry making, attempting to innovate by combining traditional flour-based foods with Chinese-style designs and folk symbolism. Once the China-Chic steamed buns were launched, they attracted considerable attention from customers.
