Eating Paus And Satisfying Your Sweet Tooth

 Steamed pau is a quintessential part of Singapore cuisine. You can find everywhere from premium Dim Sum restaurants, to street shops and nowadays there are even dedicated pau Singapore shops.

Four paus which will surely fulfill your sweet craving are:

Lian Yong Pau (Lotus Paste): Longevity Peach Lotus Paste paus is perfect for their birthday parties. There is a sweet and delicious paste made from Lotus Seeds in the fluffy exterior of the bread.

Tau Sar Pau (Red Bean): Its natural vegetal taste is similar to a cooked sweet potato, and gets a little help from added sugar. All in soft, mashed up form. Red bean paste is made of adzuki beans boiled with sugar, which turns them into something more supple and spreadable.

Yam Pau (Yam Paste): Another sweet mouth-watering pau that you will find is the Yam Pau. Similar to the Tau Sar Pau and the Lian Yong Pau, the Yam Pau includes the sweet Yam Paste as its filling within the purple exterior. This distinctly Singaporean bun is one of the best ways to wake up in the morning.

Liu Sha Bao (Salted Egg Yolk Custard): Liu sha literally means quick sand in Mandarin. In this scenario, liu sha bao means that the filling spills like a molten lava.it is a custard pau. Liu sha bao transforms into salted egg yolk lava steamed buns. Traditionally Liu sha bao is filled with egg yolk mixed with custard powder, and other ingredients.
