Check the craze for Qingfeng buns

Recent media reports say Qingfeng steamed buns, which became popular after President Xi Jinping enjoyed them in a Qingfeng outlet in Beijing recently, were served for buffet lunch during the annual sessions of the provincial people's congress and people's political consultative conference in Jiangsu province to reduce extravagance. But many people are asking how Qingfeng buns could be available in Jiangsu when the restaurant chain does not have any outlets in the province, says an article in China Youth Daily. Excerpts:

To remove people's doubts, Jiangsu provincial officials have clarified that the buns for the buffet lunch were made by local restaurant cooks but named after Qingfeng.
