Recent reviews of Christmas Buns Making Workshop

  • 5/5 from Suzanne Dang, attended Dec 2024: My first time booking in a session with Esther from Bun in Buns. There were plenty of parking and Esther was such a lovely teacher. She was calm and patient in helping us create the cutest christmas themed buns. I really enjoyed the class. And there was a savoury lunch included which was soooo delicious. The steamed buns taste delicious too and we all got to bring some home and put them in such cute packaging. I highly recommend this class to anyone. Thank you, Esther!
  • 5/5 from Thansita Yossuk, attended Dec 2024: I had such a fantastic time at the Christmas-themed buns workshop! The buns turned out absolutely adorable and would make perfect holiday gifts for friends and family. Esther, as always, was incredibly kind, patient, and helpful, guiding us through every step with such warmth and expertise. The atmosphere was relaxed and welcoming, creating the perfect environment to enjoy the process and get creative. All materials were thoughtfully provided, which made the experience stress-free and smooth from start to finish. It was not only a fun activity but also a memorable way to get into the holiday spirit! Highly recommend this workshop to anyone looking for a creative and festive experience.

What I do
  • I design and handcraft playful character bao, from my signature koala to festive favourites, and share them through the Q Bun Fun food trailer.
  • I’m writing a character bao cookbook so home cooks can make their own creations, one little character at a time.
Why I love teaching
  • My favourite moment in class is hearing someone say, “I can’t believe I made that!” It’s especially fun when kids and parents show each other what they’ve made.
  • In my hands-on workshops, I teach children and adults how to shape dough, add facial expressions and turn simple ingredients into character bao, mantou and tangyuan.
  • I love seeing everyone put their own spin on the same design. Give a room full of people the same dough and you’ll get a room full of completely different faces!
My education and training
  • Bachelor of Arts, The Chinese University of Hong Kong (Second Class Honours, Upper Division)
  • Master of Design, Griffith University (with Distinction)
  • Trained at Disciples Escoffier, with a background in French cuisine and molecular gastronomy.
  • Mentored by mantou master Wang Meiji in crafting intricate steamed buns and tangyuan.
What inspires me
  • I spent 13 years as a flight attendant. Travelling the world gave me a love of seeing how different cultures celebrate through food.
  • I bring those ideas back to the Hong Kong flavours and traditions I grew up with, adding a playful touch through colour, shape and character.
