Back in 2001 when I first started my 10 long years service with Maxis, one little bakery near my office in Kuala Lumpur City Centre (KLCC) started selling this bun with butter filling and crunchy coffee topping. It was so delicious that the queue to buy this bun was always so long during lunch time, and everyone would be buying at least 5 or 10 buns each. There was a time when they had to limit the number each customer can buy. I must say the bun was really delicious.
They started selling at around RM1 each (I don't quite remember exactly the original price). And each year they increased their price and they managed to make so much that they have since moved from the little shop in one of the low end commercial centre to inside the high end KLCC shopping centre. One year ago when I was back in KLCC, they were selling the bun at RM3 if I remembered correctly, but the quality of the bun was not as good anymore.
Again I find it expensive to pay RM3 for a bun, I want to see if I can make it myself. And of course Google came to help ... LOL. Found the recipe but I only use the filling and the coffee topping because I want to use my own quick bun recipe. The bun came out so good I should have eaten everything right out of oven! Unfortunately I did not and the coffee topping that is supposed to be crunchy turned soggy the next day.

| Excuse the look as it was my first attempt, and I was never good at "art" =P ... The overall taste was great but it should be eaten hot off the oven as the coffee topping turned soggy when left overnight. |
