Fun fact: the pau is named as such in reference to 1990’s Hong Kong actress Amy Yip’s voluptuous assets. Tear into this bao to find juicy insides, with large chunks of well-marinated meat and even a hard-boiled egg.

For something less conventional, there’s Coffee Pau ($1), filled with a smooth, thick coffee-based paste.

Of course, no pau shop can go without selling Char Siu Pau ($1); here, it’s generously stuffed with the saucy, stewed pork that’s nicely sweet, but not overly so.

If you’re looking for something more filling besides pau, there’s Fan Choy ($2.50) or Glutinous Rice ($2.50), where the former stars regular seasoned rice with slices of char siew and half boiled egg, and the latter is your typical lor mai gai.

Pair your bao or rice with a Siew Mai ($1), for a whole chonky piece of tasty meat in its characteristic yellow wrapper.
