Gelang Patah, Johor Bahru

Absolutely deserving of the accolades they have gotten in the local press, the two kinds of "bao" I had here were awesome. To be frank, I am not into "bao" all that much but these big ones, served straight from the steamer, had an unbelievably soft, fluffy and weightless dough, and fillings that're worthy of praise.
The mouthwatering "kong bak" used to be a slab of pork belly but it transformed into something only a pair of adjectives can do justice to: tenderness + stickiness.
A worthy rival, the oddly-shaped vegetarian "chye bao" contained chunky strips of turnip and some carrot plus what looked like specks of ground black pepper. But guess what? They're actually minute bits of chilli padi. Nope, I'm not kidding.
