Hainan Bao
is commonly sold in stalls by the road side,
in front of coffee shops
or in the wet markets
If you like light, fluffy and springy bao
you will like Hainan Bao
Hainan Baos
are normally white
and come with filling of various kind,
like tau sar and kaya
I made these Hainan bao with pumpkin
and
used the remaining pumpkin
to make the filling
