The Dad has been driving past this pau shop quite often and he says each time the queues are snaking so we stole this opportunity to give Eng Cheong a try to see if the queues are justifiable!
No queue in sight! It was slightly after lunchtime so that explains why.
The pricelist.
Bought nearly most of the items they had on sale, a matter of avoiding a re-visit to try the rest. =P
Walnut cookie that was crumbly and biscuity, different from the buttery smooth ones found in Hongkong.
Char Siew Pau that was alright, nothing to shout about. The fillings were slightly sweet.
My first attempt at a over-the-counter Khong Bak Pau, the pau was naturally filled with fats (70-30 rule).
Eng Cheong's sweet paus fared better, phew! Generous amounts of red bean paste and white lotus paste within the dense pau.
In general, the pau bread is denser than the usual fluffy ones..the dimsum is average, losing to the old names like Tiong Bahru Pau or Ho Kee.
