Welcome back to Bricks and Figs! Having recently modified/modularised the Cada Japanese Tea Shop, I decided to do the same to my Cada Japanese Steamed Bun shop. Let's see what changes we had to make. So the first thing you will notice is that the Steamed Bun shop now sits on a standard 16x32 stud baseplate, allowing for more space both at the front and rear of the shop. Passer bys can move freely on the sidewalk without bumping into patrons seated at the shop counter. Other than that, cosmetically nothing has changed much in relation to the building exterior. Oh, forgot to mention that the new MILS base strengthens the set enormously, making it easier to handle.

Cada Steamed Bun Shop and Summer Breeze Coffee Shop Picture Show (Special Promo by Afobrick.com)
Hey, what's up people, welcome back to Bricks and Figs! I recently built both of the @exesandbox designed Japanese themed buildings for which I posted separate detailed reviews of the Steamed Bun shop and the Summer Breeze coffee shop.
You can find pictures of the individual buildings on various websites, but I've yet to come across many pictures of both the bun shop and coffee shop together, so that's what this post will do.

Cada C66006 Steamed Bun Shop Set Review (not Lego)
Today, I'll be reviewing the Cada C66006 Steamed Bun Shop. The Japanese style building is a design of Tong Xin Jun (ExeSandbox). It's a small two storey building, and is comprised of 1108 pieces. The set comes with an instruction manual, a sticker sheet, a brick separator and a USB powered light string. Please note, that this set does not include any minifigures, however I have included one of my own minifigures for display purposes.
Makings of the vending machine. I haven't put on the stickers yet for the little bottles inside the vending machine.
The furniture that I built but didn't put into the second floor includes a desk with computer monitor and tower, a small stool, a futon bed and a small nightstand with light and potted plant.

Is the Cada C66006 Steamed Bun Shop Minifig scale?
Today we will be answering that nagging question about whether the Cada C66006 Japanese themed steamed bun shop is minifig scale or not.
First off, I'd like to thank AFOBRICK.com for generously providing me this set to review. AFOBRICK.com is a new seller of alternate Lego sets and they carry all the latest brands such as Mould King, Cada and more. The name of the store is derived from the words A Fan Of Brick, hence AFOBRICK.
The unique Steamed Bun shop was designed by Tong Xin Jun whose alias is ExeSandbox. I'll be doing a separate post where I'll show you the build pictures of the completed set. For this post though, I wanted to see how minifigure friendly the bun shop actually is.
Here's our minifigure guy in front of the vending machine. It's just a tad taller than I would like, but I think the potted plant and the blue garbage bin are perfect scale for my minifigure. I've got a couple of other vending machines from my other modular buildings that are more minifig scale. I think I could sub them in at some point down the road. The vending machine from the Happy Build Coco Colo truck would be a good size.
