Was going around Chinese Gardens recently and chanced upon this Tau Sar Pau at a neighbourhood bakery named WonderYam Confectionery which seems oddly similar to the one sold at Forty Hands at least in its aesthetics (which is one of my favourite “atas” renditions of the timeless classic) — the poster outside the shop claiming that is twice the size of typical Tau Sar Pau, and the lady at the stall claims that it’s been sourced from Malaysia.

For the price of $1.50 I must say that I was left pretty impressed; soft, fluffy and pillowy pau with quite a good amount of smooth and aptly sweet red bean filling within — quite light even for its size, and pretty comparable to the one at Forty Hands but certainly wayyy cheaper. Apart from serving these hot, WonderYam Confectionery does seem to stock up a few packs of frozen Tau Sar Pau ready for those who intend to have them at the convenience of their home; they also seemingly make their own Ang Ku Kueh in-house in various flavours — something which piqued my interest for yet another visit soon!
