I've bought it multiple times! The coconut flavor is really good
The coconut buns are soft and delicious when heated in the microwave; I would definitely buy them again.
The cakes are delicious and fragrant.
Delicious~ Individually packaged is very convenient
These baked coconut buns are an absolute delight. The spiral of soft dough and the swirls of shredded coconut harmonize perfectly, offering just the right amount of mild sweetness. If you're a fan of coconut, you will love this.
7/10 I love the buttery coconut swirls & it's even better toasted & with black coffee
I think this cake is delicious...it smells like coconut. It's tasty!
I plan to try this bread tomorrow.
Delicious! Just like the ones sold in local Chinese supermarkets.
This bread is now a must-have in my house, it's delicious!
so good I keep buying...think ima boutta get more
It tastes terrible. The last time I bought it, the bread didn't rise. Then I forgot and bought two for my kids. It still tastes terrible.
The cream has a nice coconut scent and is soft. I always buy it.
Always good to have it at home. Easy breakfast.
The taste is good. The cream is not sweet. It can be used as a midnight snack at night and as breakfast in the morning.
It was sooo good!!!
I thought it would be creamier. Maybe it’s because I put it in the fridge and waited one day to eat it, but it was a bit dry and could have used more cream. Still good though! I would buy it again if it had more cream.
It's delicious and full of cream! 3rd time! The price isn't too expensive either.
Tastes like a dinner roll with whipped cream. the cream is not evenly distributed throughout the roll, it's only a strip in the middle. The cream has no coconut flavor. There are sweet coconut shavings on top. the bread itself is chewy and not super soft, but I did put it in the fridge. I will probably not purchase this again.
This was a little smashed but still yummy.
It’s so good. Taste just like pineapple bun
I love shopping on Weee; the delivery is incredibly fast. I order today, and it arrives tomorrow.
This bread is delicious, I'm a regular customer, and Weee delivers it so quickly, thank you!
Very good quality!
I'm so happy to have delicious bread without having to leave the house! This pineapple bread is great.
Once you've tasted freshly made bread, you can never go back to frozen bread.
Very good. Fresh
The cake is delicious.
I love shopping on Weee . I buy things two or three times a week. The delivery speed is so fast; I order today and it arrives tomorrow.

Coconut buns are absolutely delicious. My fams favorite:) Perfectly baked and just the right amount of sweetness.
Delicious cake, I have bought it many times
yummy! perfect for my homemade taho!
It was big and filling. The cream wasn't too sweet and just salty, so it was easy to eat.
I didn’t know Kee Wah could be bought here before. I don’t have to drive to the store anymore. I hope all Kee Wah products can be bought here in the future.
I purchased 2 of these buns. One didn’t have cream! Such a disappointment, how is this bun still good without the cream?! I love these coconut cream buns, been buying the keewah ones for 15+ years. This is the first time I’ve gotten one without the cream. QC needs step it up.
Full of fragrant coconut shreds, paired with a cup of soy milk, perfect!
Really big abs fresh
My wife likes it and will buy it next time. Except for the worry of high blood sugar
The cake is OK A little bit coconut
