Question Where to find jujube flower bun (zao hua bao)?

Does anybody know where I may be able to find this in Manhattan or Brooklyn? Google is failing me - any help is appreciated

Pre-Covid, I bought this item ...

... from a stall that closed some years ago. Under the "bun" section of the menu, it was denoted as 花卷, "twisted roll." Is this what you have in mind?

Yes, this is exactly what I’m looking for, thank you! Shame to hear the stall is now closed
