Steam Pumpkin Bun

This is my first time trying out making bun, The shape might not be nice but the filling taste really good. I have to keep on practicing in order to make a perfect bun. And guess what, my sis dog enjoyed eating this and kept asking for more. Before the steaming is done, she kept coming to the kitchen to peep at what I am making. Such an adorable dog.
