Seremban Siew Pau
Siew Pau is a Chinese pastry loved by many for its pastry and filling. The pastry
is made light and crispy with many layers of thin flaky dough. The filling of the bao
consists of Char Siu that is cooked in a savoury sauce. Its texture is almost honey like
making it easy for the meat to be coated in the thick sauce. Every bite is met with an
assortment of flavours and texture. It is salty and sweet at the
same time. The crispy pastry and juicy meat is an excellent combo.
