Red bean and shredded coconut buns

Overview

Last time I took my daughter out to play, I passed by a small bakery in front of my old high school. I took my daughter in to have a look. She took one look at this and I knew she just wanted to eat the red beans on it! I remembered it again today and imitated it. It felt pretty good!
