Bao Zai 光记饱仔

Posted by CyberTron on Sep 02, 2008 1:08PM
This is my 3rd time here at this ABC Brickworks Food Centre, and both my previous trip here, this stall was closed by the time I reached.

So yesterday after I ordered the chicken rice, I hurried to this stall, and luck was with me, it was still open! Immediately went up to buy myself 5 char siew bao (60 cents each).

The char siew bao here are pretty bite size, probably similar to the ones from Tanjong Rhu bao. For a big mouth like mine, I could easily stuff one of these bao into my mouth at one time :P .

Actually, read about this bao stall at a few blogs before, which says the char siew bao was actually very good. So how does it taste? Well, the bao is definitely good, obviously much better than many you might find. My friend who does not like to eat char siew bao also find it quite good. However, I find the filling is a bit salty, else it would have been a 4 star. So overall, I'll give this a 3.5 star for this char siew bao.

So if you want to check out this bao stall, try to be there before 8 or even 7!

    I've never been to Chinatown food centre or Albert Street Temporary food centre so can't compare. Yup, it's "song fish head" steam with tau see style, and I love the pork lard on it, very crispy. ^o^

    How is the fish steam head compared to the ones at Chinatown food centre or there's another stall in Albert Street Temporary food centre? The steam fish head is "song fish head" steam with tau see style?

    I went to the tony roma's in singapore suntec city, the ribs is very nice & tender and the chocolate dessert is sinful! Dun like the corn soup though.

    Overall plus the cendol. I like the sauce but the crushed peanuts spoiled it and the fried stuffs too plain.
