Instead of a typical steamed bun, how about having a cat bun?

This adorable steamed bun hails from Felissimo, the same Japanese online retailer who introduced the popular cat marshmallow series. This time, they are not offering sweet snacks, but a savory cat bun.

Inside the innocent looking cat bun is minced pork, shiitake mushroom, and chopped onions. It was originally created by a dim sum chef, and contains oyster sauce to bring depth to the overall flavor.

The cat bun can be purchased from Felissimo’s website. It only takes 10 minutes to warm it up in a steamer, or in the microwave for 1 minute. One package includes 8 cat buns for 2,800 yen (US $25). Pre-order is available only until February 5th, and the product will be delivered around mid-February.
