Dear Roommate, Stop Stealing My XuanMa
Dear Roomie,
I don’t want to start drama. But if one more egg yolk pastry disappears from the pantry, I will start labeling them like it’s a science experiment. You know what I’m talking about. That flaky, golden pastry that basically melts in your mouth? Yeah. That’s XuanMa. And somehow, every time I come home from class—one is missing. Coincidence? I think not.
The Curious Case of the Vanishing Pastry
Let’s be honest. XuanMa pastries aren’t just snacks. They’re an emotional support system. After a long lecture or a terrible group project, that sweet-savory bite is all I have left to believe in.
And apparently, there’s science behind it — our brains are wired to crave comfort food in times of stress. No wonder egg yolk pastries feel like emotional therapy.
I’m not saying you definitely stole the last cheese flavor.
But I did see the empty wrapper in your trash. Just saying.
Why Everyone Loves XuanMa (Even You, Apparently)
- Flaky on the outside– golden layers that crackle like satisfaction.
- Soft in the middle– that creamy salted egg yolk plus snow mochi skin = addictive.
- No preservatives, all heart– fresh-baked, short shelf life, long emotional impact.
- Taste-tested by thousands of students– and now apparently by you without permission.
Solution: Just Order Your Own (Please.)
Look, I get it. They’re too good. So here’s what I propose:
- You buy your own box
- I won’t have to guard the snack shelf like a dragon anymore.
- Peace will be restored to the dorm.
- Order your own XuanMa now
P.S. If I open the fridge tomorrow and the last red bean pastry is gone—we’re having words.
