Soft…

The other day, I was given these homemade steamed paos (buns)…

They were so very generous with the filling and as far as the filling went, it was absolutely delicious – the best I had ever eaten. Unfortunately, the skin was not really as soft and fluffy as I would have liked it.

A few days later, while I was in the vicinity of Rejang Park, I passed by one of the shops – the one in the corner where they fry and sell tee-piang (a Foochow delicacy) in the morning and they close pretty early as everything gets sold out very fast…and I noticed that they had some steamed paos for sale so I bought some to try.

The skin was nicer – not bad at all…

…while the filling, though not tasty as the homemade ones that I had and of course, there was much less inside, it was quite good and I love paos that have egg in them…

Well, I guess one can’t expect much for RM1.60 each. My favourite is still the ones here but I have not gone to buy for a while now. It was RM2.70 each the last time I bought some – I wonder if they have increased the price since. Sigh!!!!!
