Gula Melaka Coconut filling for Buns

Thank you my friend for helping me to get the gula melaka sugar from Malacca.  I like to make buns with this filling but many local supermarkets do not carry in gula melaka sugar from Malacca in their store.  Usually I will buy from local wet market. Although it is not from malacca but at least it is nicer than those in local supermarket.  Since now I have it from malacca, I can enjoy making these filling for my buns.

Ingredients:

200g grated coconut without skin(get from wet market)

200g Gula Melaka Sugar

160ml Water

3 Pandan leaves

Method:

1. Boil gula melaka with water in a pot till gula melaka sugar dissolve. 

2. Sift the solution to remove the dirt away. Rinse the pot.

3. Pour back the solution into the pot.

4. Add pandan leaves and boil till it become half the amount or when it turn thicker.

5. Add in the grated coconut and cook under low heat for 15 mins.  Keep stirring until the coconut filling is thick and glossy.  Most of the syrup by now should have absorb by the coconut.

6. Once done, let it cool down completely.
