Japanese Sweet Soft Buns at Shermay's with Valerie Kong - Yukone Method

Pizza, Focaccia, Cinnamon Rolls, Flatbread. You name it, I've tried it. But I have not tried one where the bread/bun stays soft after a day. So, when I chanced upon this class at Shermay's, I knew I have to give it a try.

Class was by Valerie Kong. It was simple to understand and execute and some buns prepared included: Cranberry Cream Cheese Bun, "Roti Boy", Tuna Bun and Hot Dog Roll.
Verdict: Loved the session. Can't wait to try out with my own variations of the fillings. Think peanut butter with cream cheese. Bam! Think red bean paste with mochi or banana. Bam! Think cinnamon cream cheese. Bam! Think mango cream cheese. Bam! Wowsers, just thinking of the variation gets me UBER excited!

Okok, earth to myself. A few photos to share:

"Roti Boy" piping fresh from oven! Big drools...


The centre of "Roti Boy"


Tuna Bun. Petite and a good combination of a savory filling with the sweet bun.


It's a chilli tuna filling. I can imagine home-tweaked jap mayo tuna with a hint of thousand island and some capers!



Wala! The completed tier: Tuna Bun (with black sesame), Roti Boy, Hot Dog Rolls, Cranberry Cream Cheese "Ah Bian".


Thanks Baby! I love the class and totally enjoyed it! And of course without having to say, you will be the main beneficiary!!! Love you and big hugs!

His verdict: Mmmm... As good as the retail bakeries, he said as he chewed into the 2nd bun. Very encouraging!

Looking forward to the "Pau" class already! *Drools*
