Finally, I'd made my first savoury "char siew buns" with homemade char siew yesterday. Char siew, be it bun or bao, is my husband's favourite. My kids love it too, but not me!
I use a "sweet buns" recipe from Happy Home Baker, char siew fillings from Aunty Yochana, and char siew from Lily Wai Sek Hong.
This sweet buns recipe is a keeper! The texture of the bread was very soft. However, my husband commented that the fillings were too sweet and he preferred the char siew to be in bigger chunks...!! He also noted that the buns aged and not as soft as it was baked yesterday........ :( What a fussy eater!!
Nonetheless, my kids love it :)
