Tried the Belly of Pork ($5.50) which I had regrettably huge expectations for, just because you can get an awesome kong bak pau for less than a dollar! The pork belly must be fatty, tender and melty - on a personal level, having to chew on my pork belly is super off putting - and unfortunately this really failed to impress.

On the flip side, the Namban Chicken ($5.50) fared far better. While I feared the deep fried chicken might sog a little from being sandwiched between the bread, it stayed crisp throughout and the chicken was thankfully not dry! The tartar sauce was really enjoyable as well and helped to elevate the flavour of this bao.

Hits and misses; I do find it a shame that the one I'd expect to impress the most was such a disappointment (I guess that answers my confusion as to why it's not a 'popular' option on the menu?), but thank goodness for that namban chicken tho because it really saved the reputation of the baos! 😂
