FOOCHOW JINAU PAU PILLOW BUN

Foochow people have their way of 
making paus

Jinau Pau

in Foochow dialect is Pillow Bun

This is popular in Sitiawan

they are usually sold out before the sun goes down

soft and fluffy

and it will not stick to your teeth

These jinau pau are filled with

red bean paste

or 

ground peanuts,

both are just as good

If there are more layers of the filling

then it is called

ching aik koh

Of course the bun is very much taller
