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. :-) <br /><br />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?LunaMoonbeamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09945247325982035591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30137456.post-60617315655825600322011-11-02T13:22:26.105+08:002011-11-02T13:22:26.105+08:00Hi aunt Lolo

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.

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?

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?
