Unlike the coconut buns we find in Singapore for two reasons; 1. The bread is denser, tougher and provides more heft (not that that's a bad thing cos i could have this for a meal, and i did), and 2. The grated coconut filling isn't soaked in gula melaka syrup. Notice how it's fairer? It's still sweetened and doesn't weigh down as much. I can really appreciate this ☺️ tip: many locals buy one or two buns to tide them over the waiting time for the famous Kolo mee two doors down. The wait is usually 1-2hrs.
