This 24-hour opened handmade pau shop is located inside a coffee shop along Jalan Besar.
It is popular for serving a variety of pau and dim sum.
Decided to have a Giant Ye Zhi Mei pau, it is named as such, as the size of the pau is almost a handful. Just Google search Yi zhi mei/ Amy Yip and u will know what these pau are being compared with.
The white steam bread was firm enough to contain all the "juices" within, yet it was soft enough to eat with a subtle sweetness along with it.
The meat within was just a burst of Umami, it had lup cheong, mushrooms, pork belly, half a steam egg and of course, the minced pork. I would dare say, this is a better pau compared to Nam Kee.
Dim sum I had was nothing special to me. But it wasn't bad. Just tasted normal.
Among all dim sum places along Jalan Besar, this is the only one that open 24 hours daily.
Famous for their bao especially the huge one. I was afraid I couldn’t finish it so just gotten my the big pao for only $1.90. Generous fillings inside that worth having in the morning.
If you know who’s Amy Yip, you will know why this bun is called Ye Zhi Mei Da Bao. The bun is as big as my whole hand. It’s packed full of well marinated meat and a hard boiled egg. Definitely worth the calories!
Set within a nondescript coffeeshop diagonally across from Swee Choon, this is a hidden gem serving handmade dim sum that, according to Burpple Tastemaker Acamas Teo, easily rivals Swee Choon and 126. Go with Burpple Tastemaker Michelle Kayla Tay's suggestion of the Super Big Bao ($3.20). The humongous fluffy bun holds together a generous combination of juicy fillings that include half an egg, mushrooms, Chinese waxed sausage, and chunks of chicken and pork. Pair this with the Century Egg Shrimp Siew Mai ($1.80) and the Tofu Bamboo ($1.70), which sees minced meat and bamboo shoot wrapped within a sheet of beancurd skin. The food selection is pretty minimal so save this spot for a teatime outing. Don't forget to order a stellar cup of kopi or teh while you're here — it's seriously good.
Avg price: $5 per person

Oh good lord, it's Big... & Juicy... & full of Feelings : Pork, Chicken, hardboiled Egg, Mushrooms & Chinese Sausage. 🌶 (Small but Addictive, the Sausage)
Yes stuck in between the Pau is a Chinese Sausage, amidst the Huge Pau with juices flowing/squirting uncontrollably. 😋

ACAMASTIPS💮: Here serves Handmade Dim Sum that's better than places like Swee Choon or 126 Dim Sum (yes coming from me)
Order: Century egg & Shrimp Siew Mai, Tofu Bamboo (💵S$1.70) 🖖🏻
Go big or go home, they said. And big is definitely the way to go here, because big gets you a fat & fluffy bao dripping with juices. There's (half) an egg, mushrooms, Chinese waxed sausage, and chunks of chicken and pork in there. It's a little sweeter than the usual, but that's partly why I like it.
Apart from a variety of handmade baos like char siew, kong bak pau, red bean, etc, there are also interesting variations of dim sum such as the Century Egg Siew Mai ($1.80) in the background. Regular and salted egg versions also available. Tastes pretty decent, but definitely not the highlight here. Save your calories for the super big bao & more Jalan Besar eats instead.
Default choice of dim sum to tame peckish pangs from the same coffeeshop we get our kopi/teh fix.
Super juicy and flavourful minced meat filling studded with chopped bamboo shoots wrapped in a sheet of bean curd skin. Love how the skin has softened to absorb some of the savoury zhup. 😋😋
Located within quite a non-descript coffee shop but this place serves really good paus. Char Siew Pau was well-filled with sweet charsiew smothered in a thickly sweet honey sauce, with chunks of pork to chew on and a bit of savouriness within that fluffy, steamed bun that makes it so addictive. Tau Sar Pau wasn't as spectacular though; the filling was smooth without being overwhelmingly sweet but marred by the bun; no doubt still good though a little bit too thick which makes it feel a tad heavier compared to the former.
If you're too lazy to queue for Swee Choon, this little dim sum shop just opposite should be more than enough to satisfy your craving!
Steamed siew mai are classic and popular items on every dim sum menu. These siew mai are done open-faced with a whole shrimp inside, instead of mixing the meat together. Not the best of dim sum standards, but it's cheap and comforting enough.

Located next to Jalan Besar main road, opposite famous pig organ soup, 新山叶子楣手工包店 sits at the corner stall of the shop house unit - with all the rawness and historical age of the infrastructure😌✨ originated from Johor, they served freshly made paus and dim sum, overly underrated and undermined by their surrounding competitors like Swee Choon and dim sum haus😨 but seriously they are on par or even better!!!! A Super hidden find! It is very affordable and generous in portion☺️✨ their specialty is their D cup pau with menu veg and a whole egg inside!!!! 😂 in honour to the famed Hong Kong actress Amy yip (boobies) 🙊🙈💃 seriously this place deserves a crowd larger than Swee Choon and 126 etc. ( sharing this little secret spot of mine so that they don’t close downnnnnn😭) ...

Checked out this Johore Ze Zhi Mei Handmade pau 新山葉子媚手工包点 after browsing through @burpple. The stall is in some normal looking
Local coffee shop, but you can smell the freshly steamed bao approaching the stall itself.
I order the chicken bao and not the usual pork bun cos I don’t like sweet stuff. Though this don’t look like much, but the chicken meat was pretty juicy and tender and very generous with the amount of chicken and egg. The juice was literally flowing out uncontrollably as I bite into the soft and fluffy bun. I love that the bun was thin and light, not the usual thick and dry kind. Recommended for sure!
