The bun that the hand is reaching for is called a man tao. It's the most basic Chinese bun there is. There is nothing inside and it's usually eaten with porridge and other side dishes. To describe the taste... it's slightly sweet. It tastes exactly like how it looks if that makes any sense lol. I had that for breakfast everyday for a month this past summer while in ChinaOriginally Posted by Mangudai954
Wonder if they make them stuffed with spinach
The other buns in that basket seem to be pork buns and a variation of a Chinese flat bread/pancake.

They wouldn't put anything in them, those are meant to be plain Mangudai. But if you ever buy those, open a can of sweetened condensed milk

The bao in the 2nd post are most likely not bbq pork buns (cha siu bao). Cha siu bao are usually white, have a fluffier bun-surface and can be eaten with your hands.
The bao in the 2nd post are probably some sort of "dumpling", but still are referred to as bao as well. The contents inside are usually some sort of meat with veggies.
Boysnoize is spot-on with the man-tao description. It's the most basic form of bao and you gotta remember, back then it was for the masses. Not everyone could afford meat with their "bread".

Condensed milk is amazing with man tao. I know some restaurants serve a fried variation of the man tao that goes even better with it.

Yep, I personally prefer steamed man tao plain... the fried version is good with condensed milk.
