My first 2 years of existence were spent in this small HDB area called Jalan Batu, or the more famously-known region called Tanjong Rhu. My grandfather's barber shop was neighbour with this coffee shop which sells excellent wanton mee as well as house to the first outlet of the famous Tanjong Rhu Bao. In fact, my dad was working as bao-maker for this bao store, which was, I suspect, how he met my mother. So, as what my parents told me, the uncles and aunties would always present me with siew mai and char siew bao whenever I came down to play. Even up till now, my dad still frequents that store and buy back boxes and boxes of char siew baos (Which costs $0.70 for one bao that is just big enough to finish in one mouthful).
It's no wonder why I love char siew bao so much.
