Have you ever seen steamed buns looking like crystal balls? A group of photos captured on Sunday shows a Chinese man from Luoyang City of Henan Province in central China makes a living on such buns. /VCG Photo
Flowers including honeysuckles and chrysanthemums are embedded in the steamed buns made from arrow-roots. Except for being decorative, the flowers are heat-clearing and detoxifying, according to traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). /VCG Photo
The owner of the stall drenches the buns in blueberry, mango or yellow peach jam according to the preference of consumers. “People love fresh ideas,” the owner said. “My buns are unforgettable to them.” /VCG Photo
Each steamed bun with bamboo leaf costs eight yuan (about 1.2 US dollars), but you can get two with 10 yuan (about 1.5 US dollars). “The flowers look tasty,” said a consumer surnamed Li. “Besides, they are quite cheap.” /VCG Photo
