Coffee Bun


When Coffee bun aka Roti boy made it's debut in Malaysia a few years ago, it surely did create a buzz around the many bakeries and needless to say we were in the bee line too. 
My boys and hubby simply love the crispy crusted coffee topping  bun. Unfortunately one of these bun is never never enough for each one of us.

I made these lovely buns for our snack and boy was it  soft and delicious.  
I'm definitely baking this bun again.
