It is back near the entrance to lights motorcars action. We were so anxious to try this, (our farm truck is nicknamed Herbie), the steamed buns were good, but VERY small! Nice to try, but don't plan on it being a meal.

Maybe I am clueless...but what the heck is a steamed bun?

Just got back and looked at their menu... no where are there steamed buns... now just pretzels chips and drinks. A standard snack cart.

Interesting!

When we were there for Thanksgiving, they were selling cocoa and cookies, along with pretzels and chips and such but I thought it was because of Osborn Family Festival of lights. Too bad.

Steamed buns are like big steamed dim sum or Chinese dumpling. There is a recipie and photo here: http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Chinese-Steamed-Buns/Detail.aspx
