Retailing at $0.70 per piece, these mini longevity buns are a must try! The lotus paste filling is thick and not overly sweet. Bun to lotus paste ratio is perfect as well. Have been getting these buns for birthdays celebrations - highly recommend this place if you’d like to get something for your old folks!
> Red Bean Pau (豆沙包) ($0.80)
i really like their smooth texture for paste tbh and same going to lotus pau too. It's a bit sweet aftertaste but their paste filling was enough.

hmmm bbq pork was sliced in thin but filled a lot of charcoal bbq pork inside the bun.
Lotus bun (80c)
Kong ba bao (80c)

🍴Handmade (literally!) baos that my family loves so much, we eat them once a week 😂. Having grown up with them, I must say that these tiny-sized flavourful baos hardly disappoint. There is a generous ratio of ingredient to skin and we love the bite size version that makes it easy to eat. The longevity bun has a smooth filling that’s just the right level of sweetness, while the #kongbabao (braised pork bun) has delicious well-marinated lean meat. We used to also enjoy their char siew bao (80c) but have found that the quality of it varies, with the meat sometimes being more fatty and sweet. They also offer normal sized baos and other breakfast items like glutinous and char siew rice. Do expect a wait for this popular breakfast stall or perhaps try calling in advance

From Teochew Handmade Pau
Always consistently fluffy texture.
Bite size tender braised pork belly inside.
Highly recommended!
Wallet friendly prices.
This da bao is even more awesome. Look how thin the skin is. 😲 It’s not too wet or dry. Seasoning is just right too. 👍🏻

Love these mini Kong Bak pau! Skin is soft, the meat is well seasoned and no fatty parts.

The mini Teochew handmade pau that I love! Bian rou pau, char siew pau, da pau & siew mai.
Date visited: 12/05/2018 (Sat, 935am).
Only 1-2 customers in front of me when I went to queue.
The good:
Baos (as in the skin of their baos) are smooth as they use caster sugar. Heard they also added lard oil to the dough to make it tastier.
I do like the fact that the skin of the bao wasn't too thick.
Fillings (esp ingredients like meat, fish etc) are fresh.
They make their baos with the awareness that more people are more health conscious and they tweak their recipes as time changes.
Their da bao is the average size of a normal char siew bao while the rest of the baos come in bite-sized pieces (read: itsy bitsy teenie weenie). I think it is good if you just want to try out the different baos to 塞牙缝, but also want to eat something else as well. In Teochew, we call it 'jiak teek tor' (aka eat for fun) :)
About their baos:
Their signature item - kong ba bao.
Stall uses leaner pork.
Pork is flavourful, but find it a tad dry.
I had better ones at funeral wakes.
Red bean/ lotus filling is smooth, and they don't stick to my teeth. They taste ok la. (Read: average).
I have tasted MUCH better (read: dark, very smooth, almost cream-like consistency, fragrant and unforgettable) tau sar filling:
(Singapore Bao, #01-61, Blk 29 Bendemeer Food Ctr)
But from what I know, Sg Bao no longer sells baos; only loh mai gai and siew mai.
Haven't found a match for Sg Bao tau sar filling. Really the best I had thus far.
Fan choy is not bad/ quite nice. Char siew is fresh, quite well-marinated, and not too fatty. Rice is moist, slightly soft but properly cooked. Slightly sweet, yet a tad savoury.
Siew Mai
Slightly sweet. Pork used was fresh; no porky taste.
Quite lean, not fatty.
I feel that they are definitely not as oily as the ones I have tried elsewhere tho some people commented otherwise.
Stall also uses fish (instead of prawns) and carrot to their siew mai.
Best eaten hot off the steamer as the siew mai skin hardens fast as it cools.
Price wise...
Handmade... labour costs are high these days, so we have to be reasonable with our expectations also.
Not too expensive. Quite reasonable.
My order (as shown in photo)
1x Fan choy
2x Siew Mai
1x Da Bao
2x mini Lotus bao
2x mini Kong ba bao
1x mini Tau sar bao
TOTAL DAMAGE: $7.70
Conclusion:
Taste wise... Nothing much to criticize, but nothing stellar to rave about.
Three things I really love though:
1) the baos are freshly made on that day itself!
2) the good balance between the skin and filling ratio.
3) taste wise, they are definitely still way better than those made by machines.
So, is it a place I will patronise again/ recommend?
Yes, if I'm nearby or there.
Sadly, while the items I tried are all nice, no item really left a deep/ lasting impression.
THINK:
Char Siew Bao - Tiong Bahru Pau/ Teck Kee Tanglin Pau - and you get what I mean about the taste that sets one brand/ shop apart from the rest.
Yes, it still a place I will recommend because I did enjoy my breakfast/ dining experience there.
I have a soft spot for all things handmade, and I really do hope traditional handmade baos can continue to be made by hand.
No matter what, I think handmade baos are still a notch above those that are solely made by machines. Biggest difference always lies in the thickness of the (bao) skin, freshness of the ingredients, and the effort that goes into the making of the food.
Such (traditional) businesses can only continue to stay in business/ prosper with the support of people who appreciate/ patronise them.
Although these 🍑 peach-shaped paus were already unbelievably cute, it was this tear shot which made it form a ❤️ heart shape which truly made me go 'Awwww'. It's rare to come across handmade paus nowadays, but they always (in my opinion) taste better than the packaged ones. I think it really is the effort and love the Uncle puts in to make the pau that makes it taste good. The paus here are really tiny tho - so be sure to get a couple to fill you up!
Small minute baos that you can pop into your mouth in one bite! The lotus paste ones are really fragrant! The char siew and big Bao was really tasty 😋😋 Although the size of their big baos are equivalent to other people's normal Bao 😂 #burpple
Richard, the second generation hawker, gave up his mechanical engineering job to continue this family business. Read about it at www.misstamchiak.com
Most of their bao are just a single mouthful. For those who have a bigger appetite, you might need a dozen to be full.
My personal preference.
1. 扣肉包 - The bao just need a soft bite, everything will fall apart.
2. 莲蓉包 - The filling won't stick to the teeth. To make such a good filling, must use lard.
3. 叉烧包 - Savory pork but it is lacking of some fragrant.
豆沙包 and 肉包 are worth a try.

Though not the best Pau we've ever had in SG, we will drop by for a Pau fix here as it is close to the new office. The lady owner is very friendly even though we just ordered 1 red bean Pau $0.70 & 1 big Pau $1.40....they are handmade & shiok enough to fuel the day!! 👌🤘
