coconut bun

Sweet tropical roll

A coconut bun is a sweet bread roll topped or filled with shredded coconut, popular in Chinese and other Asian bakeries.

The bun typically has a soft, slightly sweet dough with a coconut filling or topping that may be mixed with butter and sugar.

Also called cocktail bun when filled with a sweet coconut paste: We picked up some coconut buns from the Chinese bakery.
