Soft and round

There was an old man selling steamed baos and sio bee (siu mai) in front of the H&L supermarket in MJC. I bought a couple of times from this uncle whenever I went to the supermarket. Not so during this pandemic for almost a year. 

It happened few weeks ago, I dropped by the supermarket to get some vegetables and pay my electricity bill. The baos stall was opened so I decided to buy some char siew baos and sio bee home. Only RM1.90 each for bao and RM0.90 for sio bee. 


The char siew bao, soft and round with a red dot on top. 

Only RM1.90, and it has egg in it. I like char siew bao with egg. Although only a quarter of a hard-boiled egg, the bao was nice and soft. 

I bought 10 that day, so I keep half in a container in my freezer. Can heat up when feel like eating it.  


Jamie, who was craving for Kuching sio bee, so I bought 5 sio bee for his tea break. 

Then, few days later I came back, to buy bak bao (meat bun) as my man nagged me to buy for him. Lol. So, I went over and bought 4 bak bao to satisfy his craving. 

Bak bao with a swirl top, unlike the smooth outside and a dot on top for char siew bao. Taste-wise, it was alright and quite a filling. But I still prefer the one that my friend bought from 3rd Mile wet market that has egg in it! 



This uncle opens daily from 12 noon onwards.

So cheap! Looks really nice, very generous with the egg some more. I would usually buy 10 too, keep in fridge, heat up and eat slowly.
