Tips

usage
Two distinct things share the name. (1) Literal 'small mantou' — bite-sized steamed wheat buns, common in northern dim sum and as starter snacks. (2) The Taiwanese / mainland-marketed dry 'mini mantou' biscuit: a crisp, milk-and-egg ball about the size of a fingertip, marketed for toddlers. Context tells you which.
