I love a good char siew pau. My favourite char siew paus are from Tiong Bahru Pau and Teck Kee Tanglin Pau.

Taste wise, I will place the char siew pau from this place in the same league as Tiong Bahru Pau and Teck Kee Tanglin Pau.

The char siew filling is not the roast/ brown-coloured type that I prefer, but after I tried their chee cheong fun, I knew I had to try their char siew pau and fan choy out as well too.

I wouldn't say the (pau) skin is thin, but fortunately, it is soft and light, and it doesn't stick to my teeth.

The amount of pork filling here is slightly less(er) than Tiong Bahru Pau's BBQ pork bun. This stall uses minced/ shredded BBQ pork whereas Tiong Bahru Pau uses chunks of bbq pork. While the BBQ pork filling here has/use less spices (than Tiong Bahru Pau) to flavour their bbq pork filling, the moistness of the delectable sauce makes up for it.

I find the balance of sweetness and savouriness of the char siew filling here on point and I prefer my char siew paus to be both savoury and sweet (perhaps even a tad more on the sweet side).

IMO, the char siew pau from this humble place definitely tastes better than the ones from other so-called (more) famous Pau Shops (Tanjong Rhu Pau/ Teochew Handmade Pau/ Nam Kee Pau).

Definitely worth trying out and coming back for!
