It was sooo good!!!
Yuki
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.
inori
It's delicious and full of cream! 3rd time! The price isn't too expensive either.
Naandini
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.
pala2
This was a little smashed but still yummy.
