Interestingly, it seemed that the inventor of this light treat was Zhuge Liang, a famous strategist in his era (181-234 A.D) during the Three Kingdoms period in Chinese his

If you prefer to have something sweet and not too filling for your breakfast or any meals of the day, you will certainly like the lotus bao from this dim sum shop. The lotus paste filling is very generous and is not too sweet. The paste is quite thick in texture and really appetitizing. the bao texture is also firm and soft which goes really well with the lotus bean paste.

look at my mini bun, this is a snapshot while i am queuing, the seller served them hot and steaming. Selling the bite-sized portion, took about 2 bites to finish off one, which made it a light snack, perfect to go with tea break. The skin of the bao was thin, delicate and soft. It was smell good. Very generous amount of char siew in each bao at S$0.60. Finely diced char siew went well with the mini-size which made chewing and swallowing an easy affair.

The Bao Zai stall at the ABC Brickworks Food Centre has appeared on TV before and i wanted to try it since the pau looks tempting. The paus are the mini pau size and can be eating in 1 mouthful. I ordered the char siew pau to try. The skin was nice and fluffy and the generous char siew filling tasted good and not too sweet. Best eaten when it is hot.

This stall sells different type of mini baos. My favourite is char siew bao. The char siew filling is very juicy and moist. I realised they are making their own char siew at the stall and no wonder their char siew bao is the best sellers among their other type of bao. The size of it is very small so one is never enough. I need at least 4 to feel satisfied. I always come back whenever i am in this area for their baos.

This is one of my favorite stall when come to char siew bao. All the char siew baos are handmade right at the stall, they even grilled their very own char siew there too. The filling was rather generous. It tasted a little sweet yet juicy and full of flavor.Their meat bao was pretty good too but as compared to char siew bao, i still very much prefer the char siew bao. The sizes of their baos are smaller than most of others out there and so, it still makes an ideal snack even after a full meal. G

This stall has really zai pau! The average pau sizes are smaller than palm size, maybe my palm is bigger than others, very convenient to eat while on the go. The char siew bao is my favourite of the lot. The filling is sweet and the burnt smell can be smelt when you bite it through.

I came to know about this stall through an interview on TV. The paus are all sized near to a golf ball, not too big, so that if you are craving to eat some paus, you still can stomach it in. I bought char siew, red bean and lotus paste pau. What I like is the skin is a little chewy and does not stick to your teeth. The char siew have this nice roasted taste and the red bean and lotus paste is noice and smooth.

Yummy baos with generous filling that can be eaten in 2 bites. Perfect for the mid-morning or afternoon tea-breaks.It's even tastier when eaten fresh from the steamer and the filling oozes out in a thick lava When I patronise this stall, I buy at least 10 baos in different flavours to freeze at home and then steam and eat at my own leisure

My colleague bought 3 boxes of mini baos for us which cost $18 so one bao is $0.60. According to her, the baos here are all handmade. Customers can watch how they roll the dough, filled the stuffing and steam them. I pick one and it was a sweet red bean paste (Tau Sa) one. The filling is thick and rich and the bao size is just nice in a bite size. The red bean paste was dark in colour with a smooth as silk texture. This makes a good breakfast as well as afternoon snacks or even dessert.
