Emperor Steamed Bun

Let me introduce you to this fabulous Emperor Steamed Bun! I've no idea why is it called by this name but this is such a delicious dim sum serve at many places in the centre of the city, Kuala Lumpur. I've seen the review regarding this bun which is very famous around Klang and it's cost about RM$5.00 per serving. I've never been there for food before though I've so many friends and relatives staying in the city included my younger brother. I don't travel much =) But I'll be away for a few days trip this weekend with my children. What do you know, this is actually my 2nd trip of the year. However, hope you all will enjoy the recipe!
