Made from simple yet familiar ingredients, this delightful treat features a crust made of wheat flour and eggs, enveloping a delectable filling of shredded coconut meat mixed with sugar and roasted peanuts. Upon baking, the crust takes on a golden-yellow hue, forming layers that overlap beautifully, emitting a delightful aroma of flour and eggs.

While the traditional coconut filling remains a favorite, the baker also offers variations with mung bean and pineapple fillings, each marked with red dots on the crust to distinguish between flavors. However, the classic coconut-filled dumpling remains cherished for its authentic taste and texture.

With its sweet and chewy coconut filling complementing the richness of the crust, this treat pairs perfectly with a steaming pot of tea. It is a staple in daily life and is particularly enjoyed during festive occasions such as Tet and Mid-Autumn.
