If you’re a fan of Cantonese baos, these are the must-try items at Tiong Bahru Pau

The bao business started operations in the Tiong Bahu area in 1969 and are known for their very high quality streetside Cantonese-style baos

They now have about seven outlets scattered across the island with a central kitchen located in a shophouse on Outram Road

Their char siu bao comes with a full-flavoured thick barbecue sauce that is not too sweet, and has big chunks of pork inside.

Their siew mai is stuffed full of meaty chopped pork and water chestnuts.

Their leng yong and tau sar baos are thick, oil-rich and are incredibly well-balanced with very present bean and seed flavours.

A definite must-try is the rou pau (meat bun). There are two varieties — pork and chicken — and the chicken version is by far a big favourite as it comes with immensely soft and juicy meat.

If you’re a big eater, they have the da bao which is twice the size of the normal rou bao

Their spring rolls feature chunky strips of vegetables, spring onions and chicken strips. It’s a combination that is hard to get in Singapore, and if you buy them early in the morning, the rolls are still nicely crispy.

Some people swear by the fei huang dan (phoenix puff) which is boiled egg and minced meat wrapped in a fried pastry ball

Try their loh mai kai (steamed chicken and glutinous rice) and fan choy (steamed rice with char siu, egg and Chinese sausage) as they come with very generous chunky meat fillings for the price.

Prices range from $0.80 to $2 a piece.
