Bak Pao


I love Bak Pao.... Ever since when we rode the bike early Sunday morning to eat Bak Pao at Monas to when I found out there were SPECIAL Bak Pao at Kuningan. Or GIGANTIC Bak Pao as my friend called it!

Never have I imagined that you couldn't not find one over here, even in Chinatown since they all would say "Pork, this is Pork" answering what kind of meat were in the buns..hahhahaha And the ones I tried were never as good as the ones back home.

So after watching Kung Fu Panda, Gil wanted to try the "white bread like Kung Fu Panda". To my disbelief, I found a ready mix in my pantry. It must have been there for a long time, since when I tried it, the dough did not rise. Yet, Gil was too happy to see ones that look like the movie and kept saying how good they were.

Just enough motivation to look for a good recipe, I FOUND ONE and made my first Chinese steamed buns without any fillings..hahhaha Since I thought I would try how the buns turn out before I made the filling.

Now I just have to eat them with the fillings on the side...hahahhaha Cannot help it...Yummm
