Few things are as comforting as a freshly steamed ‘bak pau’ (steamed meat bun), with its soft, fluffy dough and savoury filling offering a satisfying bite.

For the Chai family, making these traditional steamed buns for more than 40 years is more than a business—it is a cherished family legacy passed down through generations.

The tradition began with their maternal grandmother, who taught the family the skills and secrets behind preparing the ‘bak pau’ that customers have enjoyed for decades.

For the past 33 years, the family has kept the tradition alive at Hui Sing Hawker Centre, where their signature steamed buns continue to draw a loyal following.
