Just an ordinary roll with a great name!

Passing by a bread shop and thought of getting some light snacks for tea time. I stumbled upon a weird (or should i say rare?) roll...with a great name...

Out of curiousity, I bought the roll...

However, it turned out to be a dissapointed one. Despite having a 'super-exaggerated-name', this (sort-of) roll is just merely chicken floss rolled under a (leftover?) white loaf bread and wrapped with a tasteless yellowish skin (which doesn't taste like egg either!)

And guess how much is it?

Overall, it doesn't taste good, at least not with such price...but their marketing strategy really works...at least a dumb person like me fell into their trap...(notice that great name?) Yeah, it is named as Golden Egg Roll!

Try the one from http://shihlinsnacks.com.tw/

I think it is passable, as compare to the one in the photo :P

the raw material (flour) is increase in the price.

i think they wish to increas the price but worry may complain by customers. so they change the look as an added value to increase the price.
