Godzilla Big Pao!

Recommended by ieat and his foodies, Chris and I simply have to get this giant-sized meat bun. It was on Chris' mind when he first heard of it at the ieat-makan session. He wanted to 'fly' down to the stall a few times had I not stop him. We had lots of food at home then, courtesy of our overseas Chinese friends.

This morning, finally after having given away and finished the food at home, we could go down to Elias Mall for the much touted Godzilla da pao. Ever kiasu, Chris called in advance to reserve 4 Godzilla buns. We also bought 10 coffee buns.

We couldn't wait to eat the giant buns. When I pried open the white fluffy skin, a nice aroma permeated my senses. It accelerates the production of saliva and the involuntary action of taking a huge bite of it. Oh my! The juicy fillings coupled with the sweet fluffy skin makes me purrrrr....

The huge bun was filled with nicely marinated pork, mushrooms, Chinese sausage, one hard-boiled egg and a salted egg yolk. It costs S$3.50 for one.

The Coffee-skin Red Bean bun is also yummy. It doesn't look good physically (where got such treasure like me wan, look good and taste good. muahahahaha....). The tau sar (red bean paste) filling is coffee-flavoured. It has a nice coffee taste and aroma. It costs S$0.50 for one.
Since ieat's review, many foodies from as far as Jurong and Woodlands have flocked there. So if you want to be one of the flock, go support this nice stallholder couple. You can packed the buns and dimsum (yes, they sell dimsum too), then go spend a day at the Pasir Ris Beach nearby.

But if you want to surprise me or tapao supper, come on Saturday nights when I'm at the seaside fishing :)

  2. I remembered eating some huge pork-filled pao before but they tasted a little oily and not very tasty. Your version looks much better and yummier with varied ingredients like egg and sausage. Must go and try one day.

  7. It sounds tempting, but I shall volunteer to give it a miss. My intuitive alarm is on red alert. I need more quiet company, rather than nice food. *winks*

  14. Hi ECL. Those buns look delicious. None in England, sadly enough.

    ReplyDelete
  15. none in this part of Italy either.. Makes me wonder why the world is so unfair!!! Oh nevermind! Soon, soon... be still... relax... don't cry...

  16. Hi Eastcoastlife, thank you for your kind and generous offer. I could get the bun on my own if I were in the mood to eat paos.

    I am now in need of solitude to recharge. The Food Hunters Club sounds overwhelming large for me as you have such a large base of blog-supporters.

    The good news is that your readership has increased. Here, I would like to congratulate you, your blog's worth has increased to $398000.70.

    Nevertheless, I am still keen on the Katong Walk. I think the beautiful sights of Katong needs to be documented for future generations to experience, and to attract more people to experience Katong. I think I should feel better soon.

    Have a good weekend. Are you going for German Brunch this Sunday? If you are, please remember to make reservations early.

    ReplyDelete
  23. oceanskies,
    I'll wait for you until you are ready. Katong is a beautiful place with a rich history and has lots of interesting stories for us to appreciate.

    yes, my readership has gone up, thanks to the support of readers. How I wish the money is not virtual! :(

    I'm not going to the German Brunch, I'm going to Bollywood Farm!

    ReplyDelete
  24. Thanks for your understanding and patience.

    Bollywood Farm? Where is this place?

    ReplyDelete
  25. LB, if you are keen on the red-light district, you may be pleased to know that I have blogged about a night walk to Chinatown right on my blog.

    But I am sorry that my post did not focus much on the red-light district part, but according to the historical records, in 1887, brothels proliferated in the Chinatown area of Singapore. Yah, 1887.

  39. I figure that I should learn more about alternative lifestyles in Singapore. Some of my potential clients could be member of those in lifestyles different from mine.

    I would be keen if there would be a Geylang walking tour.

    ReplyDelete
  40. gosh, thanks for the review man, gonna visit asap and try it!!!

    ReplyDelete
  41. The meat bun looks so juicy and it must have tasted yummy.

  44. pink hippo,
    Thanks for dropping in. Welcome.

    The buns are delicious. Try the coffee-skin buns lah, I find it unique. A nice combination. I would eat it again.....

    ReplyDelete
  45. I will be keen on the Geylang tour. However, I shall now be careful about saying "Yes" to it. There are so many things that I wish to do, and there's only 24 hours a day. I shall learn not to bite more than I can chew.

    ReplyDelete
  46. oceanskies,
    yes, there are so many things we want to do but time is a factor.
