My wife’s most favorite dish, the restaurant unfortunately went under a few years back and now I’m determined to find this recipe so I can make it for her before the Swedish government kicks me out. I want to give her one more good memory before we are apart for a long time. I’d appreciate any help (if anything, the name of the restaurant was Korea Garden near the Westfield Mall of Scandinavia)

This is not Korean. That’s fried and steamed mantou and condensed milk.
If I’m not wrong it’s Chinese buns (mantou) dipped in sweetened condensed milk
The white ones are steamed, the brown ones are deep fried.
I found a recipe here you can refer to

Not sure if this is the same as the ones in Chinese cuisine, but based on the looks, it may be [Fried Mantou with Condensed Milk](https://www.chinasichuanfood.com/fried-mantou-with-condensed-milk/). You can use store-bought frozen mantou, fry half until golden brown and steam the half as per package instruction, then serve with condensed milk. If you want to make your own mantou buns, you can check this [recipe](https://www.chinasichuanfood.com/chinese-steamed-buns/).
Seems like many Asian restos in Europe…call it one country’s cuisine and serve Asian dishes from all over (or even just made-up dishes with Asian ingredients)
I’ve never heard of this nor have I had this growing up in Korea.
I can’t be the only one wondering how OP is getting kicked outta Sweden
This is actually a Chinese dessert called mantou.
I eat this all the time at multiple locations of HaiDiLao in Korea. It’s steamed milk buns with a side of condensed milk. Two of yours here have been left plainly steamed. The golden ones have also been quickly deep fried. In Korea you more often eat the plain kind when cooking milk buns at home but when you order this dish in restaurants they’re all fried. This mixed version might be more for people who have never tried either kind, to introduce people to milk buns overall
It called, 金銀饅頭(Jinyin Mantou), the combination of 炸饅頭(Cha Mantou) with 蒸饅頭(Zheng Mantou, commonly just ‘Mantou’)
