What’s inside…

In the afternoon, there is a solitary stall at the Dewan Suarah (Civic Centre) market here selling bread and buns, Chinese kuihs (cakes) zhangs (meat dumplings) soya bean milk and doufuhua (beancurd jelly) and among other things, steamed paos (buns)…

I seldom stop by  there as after my tuition class in the evening, the roads in the vicinity would be very congested owing to the presence of the schools in the vicinity. But this being the month of Ramadhan, the Muslim puasa (fasting) month, the schools are dismissed earlier so that day, I was able to drop by without being caught in the jam.

The chai pao (vegetable bun) is 50 sen each…

…but though they are nice enough, I think I prefer the ones sold by the old lady at the Sibu Central Market.

The bak pao (meat bun) is RM1.70 each…

…and I would give this the thumbs up! Inside, there is real minced meat unlike some buns that I have had where they mix the meat with sengkuang (Chinese/sweet turnip) or whatever and I simply love meat buns with hardboiled egg inside.

They also have char siew pao (barbecue meat buns) – I may drop by again to buy this to try…but I don’t think I would bother about the rest – coconut and tau sar (bean paste) as I’m not a fan of those…
