Sambal Palm Sugar Grated Coconut

I find the usual sambal chilli prawn filling or Hae Bee Hiam in dialect, in bread filling was too salty and dry. Therefore, I tried adding the sambal chilli prawn flavour to palm sugar coated grated coconut, to give the bread filling a moist, crunchy, flavourful, and sweet taste. Trust me, this is more interesting than plain sambal chilli prawn, or palm sugar coconut filling for bread 😜

The sambal palm sugar grated coconut not only can be used as bread filling, it can be added to bread toast, or serve with coconut rice or nasi lemak. Very very yummy 😋
