Hawthorn Soft Crisp by Bao's Pastry

Hawthorn is an unusual fruit that is not seen often in Singapore except for some niche traditional childhood sweets and snacks, so it was interesting to see it as a pastry filling at this trending bakery, Bao's Pastry. What's even more interesting is how they are sold in a big resealable bag, almost like you are supposed to binge on them. The first thing I noted is that the ingredients list was only available on their in-store price display (click to enlarge image below), and it wasn't printed on the packet itself. Also, it doesn't list all the ingredients, just some "core" ones, which are all probably the better ingredients from the full list. For example, expected ingredients such as sugar or salt aren't listed, so we don't really know if there were artificial additives. Nonetheless, I thought it was of decent quality for the price overall after the taste test. It was S$7.90 for 9 pieces.
