Low-Protein Flour

My dad has been searching for flour with low-protein so he could make yummy Chinese bun, just like the one you eat at your local dim-sum restaurant. I didn't know it'd be that difficult, but I think I may have found some alternatives. So here are the ones that I'll order and let him try out and see.

King-Arthur Queen Guinevere Cake Flour does not only has a nice name and it also has the lowest protein % (7%) I can find so far.

King-Arthur Unbleached Pastry Flour has only 8% protein.

This Red-Lotus brand one also has 8% to 8.5% and some people from Yahoo! answer claimed that they can be found in Ranch 99 (a oriental supermarket chain here in the California).
