Big Pau 大包 @ Tang Chuan 东泉 in Ayer Hitam, Johor

Tang Chuan is an old established name of over 50 years in freshly made pau (Chinese steamed buns 大包) in Ayer Hitam.

Tang Chuan serves other traditional dim sum too and it is best known for their best selling big pork paus.

Tang Chuan is a popular meeting place for locals as the dim sum here are delicious and reasonably priced. Many Singaporeans also stop over when passing by Ayer Hitam. Other customers take away the famous paus to enjoy at home or in the office.

Everything is made on location here in the kitchen and everyone in the family chips in. Tang Chuan sells more than a thousand of these paus everyday, so customers can rest assured that all of their paus are freshly made every day.
 

The soft, fluffy white skin warps the juicy, well marinated minced pork. I find adding a dap of chili sauce makes the pau even more delicious J

I also had a lo mai kai (glutinous rice with chicken) which was tasty.

Whenever I go up north, I will stop over at Ayer Hitam for tim sum breakfast at Tang Chuan.
