This was a Random Find on Google Maps. 🌏 I'd thought I'd give it a try because of its Cute Name and Logo. 😄 Its a Small Bakery specializing in Buns 🍞 and the Stall Lady manning this place was Very Adorable. 💁 She was very Friendly in allowing me to take photos of the place. 📷 


When I offered to take a Photo of her with her Buns, she say she was very Shy and Paiseh and say she don't like to appear on Camera. 📷💁 She really gives off that "Favourite Adorable Auntie" type of Feel for me. ♥️ This place is only for Takeaways only although there are a couple of Stone Benches 🪑 in front for you to sit down to eat your Buns.

Carrot Cake = RM2.80

The Carrot Cake is quite highly raved by Google Map Reviewers 🌏 and I can tell why. It is very Competently Made and the Cake Meat is Soft. 😋 Almost Melt in Mouth Soft but not quite but still very Enjoyable to Eat. 😋 The Radish Taste is quite Gao Gao and even in the Photo, you can see that the filling is very well made. 👍

The Taste is definitely of a Higher Standard, not those Typical Supplier type of Carrot Cake. 👍 Personally, I feel this would not be out of place if sold in a Dim Sum Eatery. This is Dim Sum Quality Carrot Cake right here. 😋 And Amusingly I was right, because apparently, the Stall Lady's Husband is the Main Cook/Baker here 👨‍🍳 and he himself used to work in a Dim Sum Eatery. 👍 Very Friendly Chap too. No wonder 吃得出来 got Dim Sum Standard. 😋

White Cha Siew Bao = RM3.20

This is of course the Normal White CSB. Dough is Soft and Pillowy and the Filling within while Generous is not the Sweet Red Coloured Type that I prefer but is more of the Brownish 卤水味 Braised Type. 🍯 Has a Sticky Texture and the Amount of Meat is filling. 🍖

Not the type of Filling that I personally prefer, but this is an Above Average CSB. 👍 Interestingly, according to the Stall Lady, they made this Braised 卤水 type of Filling because apparently People in Taman Gaya prefer this more Braised Non-Sweet Type. 🍯🤔 I thought that was interesting.

Cha Shao Chan Bao = RM3.20

This uses the Exact Same type of Filling used in their Regular White CSB but this time, its packaged in a More Traditional Baked Bread rather then the White HK Flour Dough. 🍞🤔 The Bun itself is Beautifully Yeast Raised and Beautifully Egg-Washed and Baked Nicely with a Lovely Brown Hue. 🍞😋 

For some reason though, I thought the 卤水 Meat Filling paired much better with this Baked Bread Bun. 🤔 Maybe because it adds an Additional Layer of Toasted Bun Taste? Not Bad, I actually like this one. 😋

---------------------------------------------------------------
Conclusion and Closing Thoughts

At an Average Price of about RM3.20 (S$1.00) for each of their Buns, I feel this is worth the Money to try. 👍 While I'm not a fan of the Braised Meat Filling that they use as I prefer the More Sweeter Type, 🍖😋 I still these are made very well and are Above Average Quality.

The Best among the Bunch has got to be their Carrot Cake at RM2.80 (S$0.80) which is Absolutely Worth the Money in my opinion. 👍 This is basically Dim Sum Quality Carrot Cake at Singapore Foodcourt Price. 一口咬下去 can immediately taste the Quality for it. 😋

I enjoyed my time here and the Adorable Stall Lady really was a Main Factor. 💁 She just exudes a Very Friendly Feel for me and she was so nice, she even wanted to treat me eat their Sesame Ball Bun (another Favourite among Google Map Reviewers) 🥯😅 I politely declined of course because I was abit full at that time.  🙅‍♂️And also I had to pace myself because I had alot more things I aim to eat that day. 😅 Really Nice Person and I appreciated her Kindness.

As I sat there eating the Buns and slowly observing this Place, within 15 mins although not the Super Crowded until need to Queue type, I could see Constant Stream of Local Customers that kept coming to buy. 🤔 Definitely considered a Hidden Gem I reckon among the Local Folks here. 👍 While this place is not a Die Die Must Come, if you're around the Area and have the Craving to bite into some Buns or Breads, 🥯🍞 I can certainly recommend this place. It somehow gives off a Cozy Family Vibe that I enjoyed. 🏠 Really Friendly and Adorable Stall Lady. 💁😄
