Had always wanted to try the paus from this shop as there’s always a queue (being Singaporean, if there’s a queue, it means good food, right ) Bought a red bean pau ($0.70) late afternoon for tea break and boy was I disappointed… Firstly, the pau wasn’t hot at all (warm at best) even though it was freshly taken out from the giant steamer, lack of quality control perhaps?Next, the pau was rather hard and not the soft fluffy type as I had expected.

Next, the pau was rather hard and not the soft fluffy type as I had expected. The only saving grace was the red bean paste which I found was smooth and creamy, unlike the normal pasty type. The pau was also rather small and definitely not worth the price. Even paus sold at 7-11 tasted better and more value for money! Perhaps I caught them at the wrong time, or perhaps it was really all hype. Nevertheless, I’m still willing to give it another chance and try out their more famous pork filling pau the next time round since it’s just located next to my office building.
Till next time…
