This category holds soft, ready-to-eat bread buns with a sweet filling, the kind sold in Thai convenience stores as a quick snack or light breakfast. The dough is a soft, slightly sweet wheat bread, and the filling is a thick paste in the centre.
All the breads reviewed come from Le Pan, the bakery brand of CPRAM, a Charoen Pokphand (CP) Group company that supplies baked goods to 7-Eleven stores in Thailand. The fillings follow Asian bakery tradition: red bean, taro custard, and mung bean with salted egg yolk, a sweet-salty pairing popular in Thailand.
As wheat breads, they contain gluten, and custard and salted-egg fillings typically include egg and milk. Being fresh bakery items, they keep for a much shorter time than biscuits or chips.
