On the hunt for hidden gems in Tampines, I was recommended 家传之包 HOME by a friend. The name was familiar so a little Googling and I realised it was run by the wife of the chef of Restaurant Home. I recall having lunch at Restaurant Home and their heart and belly warming Chinese dishes many moons ago. Sadly the chef has since passed.

The business has since pivoted to become a bao shop. Their buns are freshly made daily and the quality shows. Novel items such as this XO Prawn Bun ensures I’ll be coming back to try even more. The spicily moreish “hae bee hiam” was a tad dry, but packed with umami.
