Mun Zai Handmade Bao Corner is a modest shop that offers various types of delicious handmade bao or Chinese steamed buns. And all they are all vegetarian. The buns are soft and fluffy. Together with their savoury fillings, they are so delightful to eat.

The vegetarian bao steamed on a round bamboo tray.

Assorted handmade bao with savoury or sweet fillings.

The vegetarian char siew bao is a must-try, it is very delicious. They look and taste just as good as the non-vegetarian ones in the dim sum restaurants.

Nicely shaped vegetarian bao with black sesame, pickled mustard, yam, jicama and char siew fillings.

The proprietress is nice and friendly too, apologizing for the sold-out varieties and giving tips on how to reheat the buns at home.

Mun Zai Handmade Bao Corner looks empty at 10.00am because all the bao have been sold out.

We need to call to order in advance if a large quantity is required as the buns are sold out early every day. The prices for the various types of vegetarian bao available here.
