Hi Aunty Yochana,
Thanks so much,I'm going to make them in this weekend, i'm so exciting. you are very kind and i may ask one more question!if i used whole wheat flour instead bread flour for this recipe,the amount will be the same!Have you used whole wheat flour to make the sweet buns before. how about the softness & the texture! Thank Aunty.
HI anonymous,
Yes I've made wholewheat buns before. Don't use 100% of wholewheat buns. For me, I like 30% wholewheat and 70% bread flour. I think if you like wholewheat, use 50% each.

Hi Aunty,
Thanks for your replied. Now I used my cake mixer to beat the bread dough. It produced better result and I can get an elastic dough when I do the window test.
I've already give up on my breadmaker and now sitting in my storeroom waiting for a buyer.

Hi aunty yochana
I am tempted to try this recipe but I do not have a cake mixer or anything, use wooden spoon to beat also can right? I just worry it will not be "evenly done"...The instant yeast and the other ingredients just mix together can already? I read in other recipe books before abt some need to mix yeast with water first? Sorry for being so ignorant cos I have never tried baking bread before. Thank you!

Hi QueenWinnie,
Yes you can knead with hands to make bread but it might not yield the same result as a machine.
As for instant yeast, you can do both ways, it doesn't matter. Both ways work as well.

Hi Auntie Yochana,
I'm new to baking and I'm very interested in making the HK chicken tails bun. Can i check with you if we need to cook the coconut filling first? Or just the wrap the uncooked filling into the bun and it will be "cooked"? The fresh coconut-grated is normally from wet markets rite? Thanks.
Hi Aunty Yochana,
I finally made the HK chicken tail buns last week, but add 2 tbsp sugar for the filling just to give it a bit of extra taste. Simply delicious, my family love it, the texture is soft and fluffly. I would fell guilty for not extend a very big "THANK YOU" to you. I am a regular fan of your blog & I like all your recipes. I hope one day I can join your cooking classes. Thank you.
Hi aunty Yochana,
The buns look so good! I really wanted to try your recipe but I'm not sure how many buns the recipe will yield. Do you have an estimate? Oh,and how much filling do you put into each bun? is there any filling left over?
Thanks !
hi aunty yochanna!
what does the bread improver and softener actually do the whole recipe? does it make the bread softer? more improved taste?

I'm so excited to try these out!! "Gai Mei Bau" are my husband's favorite treat from the Hong Kong-style bakeries. I'm making these on Friday.
I have a question - can I use the dried coconut from the grocery store? I don't know if I can get fresh grated coconut...and I don't think I know how to open a coconut myself to grate it! haha
Hi aunt Lolo
where are you residing?
I guess if you can't get fresh coconut, the dry ones can be used too.
have fun baking.

Thank you for writing back, Aunty Yochana! I am in America...I bought a bag of the sweetened dried coconut that is very common here. The filling will be pretty sweet, but I think that is ok. I am making them now. Wish me luck! I will let you know how they turn out. :-)
I'm curious - my (chinese) mother in law thought that the filling usually used sweet potatoes. Do you know of a bun that uses sweet potatoes inside?
