My husband cooked patatim and he wants cua pao buns with it. Unfortunately, we weren't able to go to the grocery, so I decided to make it from scratch. My experiment was a big hit and I have to thank you for that. Can I ask for some tips on how to make the buns pillow soft even if it's not hot anymore? Mine was a bit heavy already when no longer hot. More power to your site and I love your photography too :-) Hi Jun,

Let me know if you find them. J Hi Rich,

Delicious!! The filling was perfect- just the right sweetness and tang. Finding the "belly" in the dough was a little challenging since I didn't have the dowel. Found my son's drum stick and it worked like a charm. Thanks for posting! We are enjoying them right now! Delicious!! The filling was perfect- just the right sweetness and tang.
