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!

    Finally pop by here again to try the pork chop. At $6, you get 2 slabs of pork chop, one rather large, the other around half the size. You also get quite generous serving of fries, beans and a bun. Wow! The pork chop here is really nice! There's a thick layer of fat at the edge of the pork chop. The pork chop is grilled such that the fatty portion is crispy on the outside, and juicy on the inside. When you bite the fatty portion in your mouth, can feel all the oil squirting inside ya mouth. hahahaah.... really yummy :) The meat itself is also very tender as well. Really good pork chop!

    Came here for dinner yesterday. As my preferred Whitley Road prawn noodle was not opened, decided to eat at this stall. Realised they have introduced a clam + prawn noodle, which is something new. Decided to ordered one ($5) and try. Basically, instead of your usual pork ribs + prawn, they just replaced the pork ribs with clams. I find the clams a bit tough or rubbery though, but nevertheless, the overall is still tasty.
