The lady had given me the choice of paper box or plastic box. I had chosen the paper box instead as the buns are very hot from the steamer.
A total purchase of 8 little tasty char siew buns at $0.90 each, squeezed altogether in a box and 4 others big buns in another. A total damage of $17.40.
2 buns are with yellow dots on top are fillings of chicken meat while the rest are pork.
What I like about HoKee Paus is that their fillings are of the right amount and doesnt shortchange customer. Fillings are of a quality standard and Baos are not as oily as those we bought from coffeeshop. Highly acceptable. Although the char siew buns are of smaller sizes and looks delicate. The condiments are fresh, comes with great fragrance and red minced char siew meat with mild sweetness. It makes me pop them into our mouths one after another.
Not forgetting about the "Da Bao" (big bun) with chicken meat. Meat are less oily and of great fragrance too. A quarter of hard boil egg comes along in the bun's filling too.
I like the lady's service. She is quite particular about the presentation and way of packing of buns into the box. Why I say so, she will ask if we want to pack like the display set 2 big buns and 4 small in a box rather than 1 box of small and 1 box of big. she gave me the kind of "Customer always first" attitude. Cheers to that lady!Although price may be steeper than what we found in normal kopitam, I believe quality over pricing for this instance, I dont mind paying more for quality fillings and moreover they are less oily.
