Johor Bahru Tim Sum @ Changi Village

Food options in Changi Village are plentiful and in fact I was spoilt for choice. I was probably introduced to pau even before bread hence a soft spot for it.

Hardly do I stop for a dimsum takeaway, however for Johor Bahru Tim Sum, I did for molten custard pau. The most surprising thing then is, their signature is the Ye Zi Mei Bun - named after bombshell Amy Yip. The correlation is straight in my face, no fuss and self explanatory.

Slightly smaller than my fist, this fluffy pau unveiled a greasy filling of salted egg yolk. Yet a slurp or two later, the savouriness of this rich filling was pure bliss. While some may find the bun thickness too much but I thought it just right to mop up the molten lava.

Happiness.

Char Siew Pau ($0.80)

Larger than the usual portions, this meaty delight hard not to love. No fillers but filled with meaty bits, char siew pau is put into a different perspective. Maybe the chef is from Hongkong but I am looking at this whole dimsum craze differently. 

Pau specialists, I call them after attempting just two of their offerings. Raring to return to try out the bombshell amongst other things. I suppose they fall in the category of Jack of one trade and master of it. Expect no dumplings or fritters but just a humble steamed bun with fillings.

I love underdogs and their six outlets are definitely proof that their existence is validated.

  2. @Xin Li: *high five* Very surprise find and YES please try their salted egg yolk paus - just disregard the layer of oil or slurp it down like I did and end up belly-very-happy. :)
