PS: I just look at the last pic again (cuz I didn't really look at it carefully beforehand)... I thought you're talking about something used as decorations... LOL. Apparently they look more like buns to me now. The bunnies looks like BBQ buns except no BBQ + in different shapes. That's all. |
I will guess that most seeing the pics don't read Japanese because Ayu writes that they are "usagi no mashumaro" = "marshmallow bunnies." After looking it up, evidently, these marshmallow critters are usually rolled in coconut shavings.
It'd be sad if I couldn't recognize mantou as I am Chinese. :/
