LAU SAR BAO

If you love Bao, 

you will love its soft spongy texture. 

If you find tau Sar Bao too common or too plain to savor in a dim sum restaurant, 

You will probably opt for Lau Sar bao 

because of its creamy sweet filling. 

When you bite into a hot Lau Sar Bao, 

be careful! 

Its steaming hot creamy filling may burn your tongue.
