Flour/bao craving

was at this food court this afternoon having lunch. Mr Ong bought this lor mai gai. what struck me was not the lor mai gai, but the smell of bao floating towards me when the stall helper opened the steamer..


wahhh.. u know that sweet, floury smell that screams char siew bao, ba bao, lotus paste bao and whatever baos you can think of set my brain to a 'I WANT TO EAT BAO!!' high.


unfortunately, throughout the whole day, i didn't have any bao. surfing through LIC's dim sum spree entries.. i nearly died not having my bao today!!


and dinner was hot dog bao (western style from Carl's Junior) to satisfy my bao/bun craving partially. but unfortunately, when i reached home this evening, the beef sauce (yummy but with loads of MSG to the extend which i think i am going to drop loads of hair tomorrow) soaked the bun entirely. so i didnt derive much bao kick out of it. i am so thinking of Canele's BFC and chinese bao now!!


Grrrrrr... perhaps i will have both tomorrow.

Hot X buns

hmm.. don't misread the title. you'd know this nursery rhyme...

hot x buns
hot x buns
one a penny,
two a penny,
hot x buns

errr.. reading it a typing it with an adult mind, can't help but read deeper! haha anyway, i had the good fortune to eat freshly baked hot cross bun this morning! I had wanted to stop by Cedele to get their hot cross buns because last week's Urban actually featured it. Then i received Ray's sms to go up and get the bun! Wahhhh.. i immediately zipped up!


nevermind i already made my sandwich, hehe i am now a fan of Soo Kian's baking!! Hehe, i am hungry for more! Will add on to this entry over the weekend with photos. :D


Thanks Soo Kian for another yummy morning breakie!! made my day!! hehe!!

so the weekend has arrived early and here are the pics of the bun.

see the plump juicy raisin?!

the appearance looks quite different from the normal hot cross bun i think? not sure, i haven't exactly ate a hot cross bun before. anyhow's soo kian's bun had lots of fillings like raisins and grains and nuts. i like!! next time i must buy better teas so that i can indulge in the yummy bread/buns she makes!! at the same time, let time slow down and get a short minute break from the crazy stuff at work. oh and i think the 'cross' tasted like the pineapple tart pastry worr..


looking forward to more bread on weds mornings!! :D
