If you're unable to go all the way to Hong Kong to have an awesome bo luo bao, a simple journey to the far west of Singapore (Jurong Point) will do the trick. As Tastemaker Rachel Xie says, "perfectly crispy, sugary crust moulded to soft, slightly buttery bread. Complete this classic HK breakfast with the finely balanced yuan yang". If you want something more substantial for lunch, go for the noodles with luncheon meat and egg, a classic cha chan teng option using noodles imported from HK!
