FOOCHOW THOUSAND LAYER PAU

Steamed Paus 
are popular among the Foochow community in Sitiawan

Be it plain, savory or sweet
they like them all alike

The most popular one is no doubt 
Pillow Pau 
枕頭包
which is shaped like a pillow
with filling inside

Another popular sweet pau is

Thousand Layer Koh

千層糕 or 千葉糕

When spoken in Foochow

'Ching Aik Koh'

Sounds like 

親熱糕

Today, they are fondly called
'moh moh'
where more types of filling are added


These paus are only out of the steamer after 2 pm everyday,
but usually sold out before Tea Break ends!
