Steam Bao

When I was after my STPM, I helped my mom at pasar malam (night market) despite she have troubles handling a lots of customers on Friday at First Garden, Ipoh, Perak.
So, there's a new stall which sell steam baos.
You may wondering why it's so small and covered with chilli sauce...
Actually, it's not really a steam bao. It is called "水蒸包".
The lady boss which is from China said the bao is cooked on a pan.

First, the pan is covered with oil. Then, the baos are put on the pan and pour a bit of water after that. Cover the pan for a few minutes and voila! Hot, piping steam-fried bao! :B

Secret? The oil beneath the bao will ensure the bao won't stick to the pan. While the additional water will steam the rest of it.
Taste? You will get some kind of fry bao but it's like ordinary bao.

It's sold 90 sen each and there's chicken and pork bao. Non-halal. You can find it at a few pasar malam in Ipoh only but recommend you pay a visit on Friday's pasar malam at First Garden, Ipoh, Perak.
