Ho Kee Pau 和記包

I bought this for supper with mom and dad. I love eating their char siew bao...it is tiny in size but have ample char siew fillings and super thin skin. The swettness is just right and the char siew is more lean meat than fats...I like! Their char siew bao is currently selling at 90cents a piece. Other yummy stuffs sold there are their Lotus leaf rice and pork bao...yummy!

The large bao from ho kee pau is really good. the pau is really soft and fluffy. It is very light as well. they are very generous with their fillings. The fillings were cooked perfectly. Not too salty. The meat was very tender and juicy. the egg was not over cooked, it was pretty crunchy. One pau is simply filling, I ate it and was full till lunch time. It really makes very good breakfast.

i was quite shocked by the standard of the buns here. the pastry skin is very poor quality and cannot withstand condensation and steam and started to fall apart the minute it was places in the plastic bag, sticking to the bag and just falling off. the filling was also very disappointing. the carrots looked like fake carrots and the taste was very salty and fake. it's also more expensive than other bun places. not recommended. very poor quality.

I have bought their Da Pau for dinner. Their skin is not as thick as compared to the other baos, so one will get a good combination of fillings and skin. Their bao's skin also has a glossy effect which makes the bao look more appetising. The meat is chunky enough for visual and texture identification but a little bit tasteless. The baos from Malaysia is more yummy if compare here.

Took away some dim sum home. I had their char siew bao. They looked small and unappealing but it is really tasty on the inside. The pork are fragrant and tender! Not much fatty meat too. Also i had this fried yam ball filled with char siew. The outside is very crispy and the inside are filled with yam and pork. Fillings are the same as the bao in this case, the shell is harder. I didn't really like it as i find it too hard and quite soggy on the inside. Anyway, i also saw them selling century egg congee now. Another alternative to fill your stomach now!

Ho Kee not only sell different kinds of pau,they sell the famous "bo luo pau" of hongkong too. I find that their bo luo pau was slightly larger than the normal ones sell in other shops. Taste was much nicer to my surprise. It was good to have for breakfast or late night supper as it's not oily and a much more healtier choice of food. Must give this bo luo pau a try )
