Tanjong Rhu Small Big Pau

Tanjong Rhu Pau is most famous for their Tua Bak Pau or Big Pork Pau. The rather remarkable thing about the Big Pau is that it is in fact not big at all. It is really the size of most small paus sold in other places. So it should come as no surprise that their small paus are tiny. The photos below showing a regular size siew small, a small pau and the big pork pau should give you an idea of the size, or lack of it, of the Tanjong Rhu big pau.

Char Siew Pau, Big Pork Pau and Bolo Bun

Tanjong Rhu Pau’s big pork pau ($1.40 each) may be small but it is delicious. The skin is soft and has just the right thickness. The savoury filling is moist and tasty. You can finish the whole pau in 2 or 3 mouthfuls but each bite is a treat for the tastebuds. We would say that it is one of the best bak paus we have tried in Singapore.
