Inside out…

Recently, I blogged about the nice buns…

…from this bakery here but I did not take any photographs to share at the time and I did say that I would do so the next time I got hold of any.

Actually, it had been my intention all this while to drop by there at the place of origin…

…to buy them but somehow or other, I never did drive past that way so I did not manage to do so.

Well, it so happened that there were fresh deliveries at my neighbourhood shop in the next lane from my house…

…so of course, I wasted no time in grabbing a few packs and took them home.

The first time I bought a pack, I could not see any clue as to what the filling was inside the buns so I asked the nice and handsome guy at the cashier’s counter and he told me. I told him I could not see a thing and he replied that I would have to look very carefully. Indeed, despite the fact that at my age, I still have very good vision without the aid of glasses, I had difficulty seeing the word “BUTTER”…

…rubber-stamped on the label. I only managed after I got home that day and had one very good look at it! Now that I know where to look, I have no problem whatsoever, not anymore and that day, I bought the butter and also the kaya (coconut jam).

You can tell from the light green colour of the kaya filling…

…that there is a lot of santan (coconut milk) in it. I sure enjoyed the extra-lemakness compared to those from the other bakeries and they certainly are a bit more generous too.

Personally, I prefer the really yummy butter filling…

…that is so moist with the butter unlike the others that are so dry and they give so little of it that with one bite of it, it will all be gone, leaving you to finish off the bun kosong (empty).

They have others too – red bean and peanut but I am not into those so I did not bother to give them a try. At RM3.60 for a pack of 6, these buns work out to 60 sen each. I so love the very soft texture of the bread and I find that if I toast it in the oven for a while till the top crust is slightly crusty and the butter in the filling has melted a bit and I eat it slightly warm, it makes it taste all the more nicer.
