Was walking along Joo Chiat Road when I spotted this brightly lighted shop selling Paos and some other pastries. Saw an award (can't remember from where) for their Char Siew Pao, so thought I would buy a mini Char Siew Pao and Dao Sa Pao to try.
The Char Siew Pao's skin was nice and soft with just the right amount of bite. The Char Siew filling was not too sweet, which was a good thing, but I would have preferred less fatty meat in it. It also lacked the slightly roasted taste that good Char Siews should have.
As with the Char Siew Pao, the Dao Sa Pao's skin was nice and soft and the filling was rather smooth and not too sweet as well. I personally prefer this to the Char Siew Bao. It could do with an increase in size though, because both Paos are really small for the price. Stuffing 2 Paos at one go doesn't seem to be much of a problem.

I simply loved chinese new year as there is always plenty of goodies for me to eat. hee hee. This year round for the love letter selection, my family decided to buy them from D'Bun.
Ok, this store's love letter is not exactly that famous as most of the friends have not even heard of this store. But, frankly speaking, this store's love letters tasted even better that some other famous store.
Why do i say that their love letter is much better? Well, first is definitely the size of the love letter. Their love letter is rolled into a small diameter thus it appears to be more compact. Well, one may say that if love letter is more compact, it may have a thicker texture. Personnally, i feel that D'Bun love letter still has a rather thin texture even though its more compact now. Simply different from those ordinary love letters that are of a much larger diameter.
Next, its the taste of the love letter, it does not have a super strong coconut smell nor does it taste too sweet. With just the right amount of ingredients, this love letter tasted as fragrant as the rest of the love letters.
Lastly, it the quality of the love letter. I definitely gave them thumb ups for quality wise, as i hardly find one love letter that is 'char ta' - meaning burnt. Rather impressing in their quality check or rather the way that they did the love letters.
Overall, i believe their love letters is pretty special as compared to the rest. A rather good choice if one wants to try something different this festival. :)
