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!

    Is diagonally opposite Jogoya. Supposedly the quality is better than Jogoya. Price wise, if we convert currency, then Malaysia is cheaper. If we do not convert currency, then Singapore is cheaper. Generally, a japanese buffet in Siingapore is around SGD30+ range.

    I'm not sure exactly where the original Leong Kee moved to, but I believe the one at Sultan Gate is still there. I also saw one at junction of Jln Besar and Hindoo road. Just at the junction before beancurd city

    CyberTron commented..
    hi! The bak kut teh at this place is Klang style. If you refering to the peppery style Bak Kut Teh you typically find in Singapore, then this is not the place for you. For the peppery style one, the famous ones are probably ones are Balestier Road or the one at Tanjong Pagar complex. For me, I usually just go to Song Fa at Rochor which is decent for me, and more convenient as well.

    I don't remember if i'd ever come across cheap and nice seafood in KL...I suggest you to plan a trip to Sabah, that's really what I call heaven for seafood lovers. ;-)
