...a pau by any other shapes...

Since we are still on the subject of paus, these are the paus from Restoran Tang Ling in Simpang Empat (mainland) on the way to Jawi Town. Restoran Tang Ling is at the very corner of a row of shophouses in Taman Tang Ling, a very small township of its own. If you are coming from Bukit Tengah, it's about 10 kilometres from the traffic light outside AutoCity.

The paus there is a little different. The dough skin taste like mee koo (red tortoise). It is not compact but light. The filling comes in the usual tau sah (black bean), kaya, char siew (roasted BBQ pork), bak pau (meat), etc. but the restaurant is famous for it's chai pau (vegetable and not vegetarian).
The vegetable filling is actually shredded turnip (bang kuang) fried ala nyonya joo hoo char but with a dash of pepper and a trace of dried shrimp (heh bee) and moist. But what I really enjoy is the bak pau...although it is a little flatter than the normal paus. The filling is not a big clump of meat but small pieces and even a very small slice of egg. The taste of the bak pau is so different from the bak paus we find elsewhere.
A little far for a good pau...
