Butterscotch & Pandan Coconut Brioche

Yes, brioche again!!! Brioche is one of the famous Parisian Patisseries other than croissant, puff pastry and danish pastry. But I don't think the French will ever used pandan in their bread! hehe... Pandan is also known as screwpine/pandanus and it is one very common ingredient used in most of the Asian cuisines over here. And so is coconut milk! SO, have anyone of you ever tried pandan & coconut flavour brioche before so far? What about butterscotch? I find it pretty interesting as well.

At the same time, I would like to thank Lyndsey for the birthday gifts that she sent me. If it is not because of her butterscotch chips I will never be able to come up something like this. You know, there is no way you can find butterscotch chips here in Malaysia. This is actually the 2nd package she sent me. The 1st package went missing half way mailing! Lyndz, so sorry about the missing package. However, thanks a million for everything! By the way, Happy Birthday to you too. Wishing you the very best and have lots of fun on your big day!
