Moment of Love,Taste of Memory

What's is the authentic TASTE, that will hook you and brought you back good memories?

I couldn't believe, I nearly vaporised that precious moment,

till I get continuing my tea-time findings.

I found alluring for giving Tiong Bahru Pau stall a recall (Should I remember correctly)

Located at 

32 New Market Road #01-1038

People's Park Complex Food Centre

(Chinatown MRT)

Look at this basket of pau, freshly-made for any quick-bite, 

Char Siew Pau SGD$1 each 

Char Siew Pau is my priority choice and I've also decided to get some chicken pau (small), 

as I've mentioned, if I can remember correctly.

Chicken Pau should be the Iconic Recall, but am uncertain about it.

Indeed, I couldn't hesitate to wait for a re-assurance for an in-depth details, 

And I've got myself back to the stall the very next day to check out the making-fillings 

The moment of truth, Yes! That's the TASTE! 

Is not the Char Siew Pau that I supposed should be the winning choice, 

(and of course, if you are a Char Siew Pau craver, it taste as good with sesame oil flavour, parsley and green onion that gives you a sweet sensation)    

but rather then, is the Chicken Pau that brought back the golden days.

Chicken Pau has got these crunchy turnip aka locally "bangkuang" 

with added Chinese wine "Shao Hsing Hua Tiao Chiew"

which truly satisfied the long-lost taste 

(when I was little, the taste is exactly the same like before) 

that's once filling your hunger during the busy work days.

Beside, is also good-temptation for an alternative 

if you are not a "Pau" person

 

It's an alternative fabulous varieties,

 if you would like to, 

for not constraining your choice(s)

Again, I've earned a thumb up or two thumbs up rather, for getting, 

the ever-best Tea-time snacks that he ever-enjoy!

"Lava it !" the way it should be

Tea-time "choice(s)" is a learning knowledge.

There are too many option(s) for you to look out for, Dim Sum, "Liu Sha Bao" 

And, I've chosen to try out,

Located at 

Westgate #04-42

(Jurong East MRT)

"Liu Sa Bao" aka Salted Egg Yolk Custard Bun,  

1mouth full in size and 

 you ought to tear it gently apart 

before consuming

CAUTIOUS: is oozing HOT! 

Am not a salted egg yolk fan, but relatively it taste good 

with subtly taste alike "grain of salt" that lava flow custard alike, "Nai Huang Bao"

Is another good making choice(s) of all,

 for giving you arrays of surprise(s)

And truly, we had a great time! Good bonding and communications
