Well that small, savory, and spicy bread-based item or roll would leave all of us satisfied at every bite.

Recently, bun lovers convened on Twitter to showcase their favorite buns and here are the lineups:
It started with the OG of all buns, Gardenia’s Delicia Sambal Bilis Bun. We bet the old us never thought the combo would work, but this savory spicy goodness remains a cult favorite.

For those who aren’t into spicy things, one Twitter user suggested Mighty White Ikan Bilis bun as an alternative. Who would’ve thought anchovies in bun would become such a hit?

Nasi Lemak or buns for breakfast? Why not both? The Mighty White Flossy Bun with Sambal Nasi Lemak is the perfect combo for those craving for Nasi lemak on the go.
