Flower Bun

Look at this beautifully twisted HOME MADE flower bun and look at its glow. Yeah! Good work ... :)) This is a contribution from my hubby. It taste wonderful and goes so well with curry chicken. Looks simple, but taste great.


All you need :

300 gms of plain flour
40 gms sugar
1/2 tsp salt
1.5 tsp instant yeast
150ml warm water
2 Tbs shortening

The Process :

  • Sieve flour into large bowl and add salt
  • Mix warm water, sugar and instant yeast together in a bowl and rest for 5 mins
  • Next pour the mixture into the flour and mix it together
  • Add in the shortening and start to knead till it becomes a non stick dough
  • Next, rest the dough for 1 hour to double the size, cover with a cloth
  • Once the dough has doubled, re-knead it for 10 minutes
  • Leave it to rest for 10 - 15 minutes, cover with a cloth
  • Next, roll the dough and cut it into required size, flatten it into a rectangular shape
  • Prepare Ingredient 2 for applying on the rectangular dough
Ingredient 2 - 2 tbs shortening, 1 tbs sugar and mix well. Use this mixture to apply on
the flatten rectangular dough before "twisting" it into bun like.

** oops, I miss the photo of "twisting"...sorry..

Before steaming... the dough is resting..

  • After "twisting" the dough just like above photo, rest it for 10 minutes before steaming for 15 minutes.
Phuhyo....what a long process....hahahaha!
But it taste so nice, soft and tender, it is worth his effort after all!

Happy Bun


We have been longing to have this "Happy Bun" (to be exact I dont know the name of the bun) for a long long time. We last had it many years ago in a restaurant in Ipoh. I was overwhelmed when I came across this awesome delicious bun while shopping at a frozen goods store, yeah, I found it! For those of you who are good in making bun or dim sum pau, I believe this happy bun can be easily produced at home...oops, but not me cos' I am very poor at dough making...

Anyway, this is the easiest and fastest meal I have ever prepared. We all like mackerel in tomato sauce. So it is just purely, smashing up the mackerel and add chopped onions with lime juice and spread on this "happy bun". I have another variety, that is using the spicy pork cubes from the can. Cucumber and green lettuce are added too.

So this is another new meal by me - a lazy mum, for sharing...... You agree it looks like a happy bun on the plate... ^_^


Beautiful and appealing !!



Simple yet Yummy!
