Eat simi: Banana Chocolate Pau
Eat which store: Just Dough
Eat where: Suntec City, B1 -169 Fountain Court
Eat nice not: 3.7/5

Interestingly, there was a subtle infusion of banana aroma in the dough which prevented the chocolate from overpowering the former. 👍 The chocolate filling was bittersweet, without the usual surfeiting sweetness in conventional store-bought sweet baos. The slices of banana dispersed among the filling had a slight bouncy texture, similar to goreng pisang. Its tart sweetness was prominently highlighted especially in the bittersweet chocolate filling, which was rather appetizing too!!

I felt that this bao was lacking the signature fluffiness of Just Dough buns and there weren’t as much fillings compared to the other flavours. 🥲 It’d be great if there would be a more generous addition of bananas too, because I only spotted 1-2 slices. 😭 The bao ended up rather jelak towards the end due to the soft viscous gel-like texture of the chocolate. 😔

It’s lacking in some distinct characteristics of a Just Dough bao but it doesn’t make this a bad choice either, when the flavours complimented each other quite well. If you’re searching for a sweet yet not-sugary alternative for your breakfast or snack time, this could be a good option!! 😮‍💨
