The airport’s customs and excise head Gatot Sugeng Wibowo said in a statement that the buns, identified as viral food products from Thailand, weighed a tonne and valued at 400 million rupiah (RM120,676).

“Passengers found with dozens to hundreds of milk bun pieces were suspected of using them for commercial purposes or parcel services,” he noted.

Passengers also lacked the required distribution permits from the country’s Food and Drug Supervisory Agency (BPOM).

The After You’s Milk Bun went viral after Indonesian influencer Rachel Vennya reviewed it on her Tiktok in January.

We checked and Shoppee Indonesia is selling from RP 185,000.00 (RM 55) and it is more than 3 times of the actual price in Thailand which is THB 100 (RM 13).

Since I met and know the owner of After You, I did message Khun May about this and she had no idea how did they manage to purchase so many milk buns. She said probably it is purchased from multiple branches.

I will be visiting Bangkok soon and hope to try this milk bun. Usually I will order their Shibuya Toast and Kakigori but will try this Milk Bun if time permits.
