HELP!!!!

FOR OVER A YEAR I have been looking for a recipe for "chinese longevity or birthday buns" It might not be japanese, but I AM SOOOOO DESPERATE to find a recipe. I have found a several recipes... None of them turned out like the buns I had. ToT The main problem is that none of them are white, fluffy, and soft like the buns I had. All the recipes I have tried are all a soft brown color, and have a wheaty-yeasty taste. When I asked the waitress how they made them, she said that they buy them in boxes of 100, and come frozen. I really need a recipe. Could someone help me?
