Kong Bak Bun (Dark Soya Sauced Pork Bun) image

This is the bun that is usually eaten with Kong Bak (Dark Soya Sauced Pork. It is steamed. I grew up eating these buns at my aunt's place where it was served occasionally with her Kong Bak but the buns were store-bought. Got this from The Best of Singapore Cooking.
