Hubby and I were at the Rubber Road few days before Gawai. So we dropped by this Kuching Siew Pau shop to buy its baos. The shop is a few shoplots from Rojak Ayam Satok Dapo Along cafe.
The local would know this famous Kuching Siew Pau (or Sio Bao). I have been to the shop once with my SIL but many years ago. That time, she bought some for her Sibu friends before flew to Sibu.
My mil loves sio bao so we bought 3 of them, 1 each of curry puff and yam puff. RM2.80 each for sio bao and curry puff, while it was RM3.80 for yam puff.
They were freshly baked, so they were so good to be eaten straight away. The skin was flaky yet crispy and tasty. The fillings were generous so one of each would be enough for a small eater.
Yam puff
I liked the yam puff, the most. I always have a liking for yam puff.
Curry puff
Jay ate most of the curry puff, while my mil took most of the sio bao. She tasted the one we bought from Y. Y. Cafe but not to her liking. She mentioned the sio bao from Kuching Siew Pau tasted better. I wonder if she missed it. She is now in Sibu, staying at my sil's house. She went to visit 2 uncles of hubby who are cancer stricken in Sibu middle of this week.

Anyway, which one is your favourite?? Curry puff, yam puff or sio bao?
Are these the ones you bought for me, the people related to those at Kai Joo Lane? I felt Kai Joo's were much better...but these would be nicer than the ones at Hong Kong Puffs here - I am not fond of theirs so I do not bother to buy.
ReplyDeleteI adore yam puff too. The bao looks great too.
ReplyDeleteMy preference in most like order: yam puff, curry puff and sio bao but my spouse like sio bao so always buy them for him to eat as snacks. Yours look very tasty.
