This is a childhood favourite for me. As a kid, I didn't enjoy eating meat very much but I still loved this dish because of the buns. They are lightly sweetened, fluffy but in a bouncy kind of way. Now I appreciate the melt-in-your mouth pork belly so much more, especially the way the rice coating soaks up all the delicious flavour. It is not the quickest dish, but they freeze well and a guaranteed crowd pleaser for future potlucks :) Save it to your cooking recipe arsenals and get ready for the "OMG's"! :P Happy eating and as usual, I love to see your cooking pictures. Just DM me at @fennys_table.
