We all woke up early for dim sum on the third day of Chinese New Year. Location was at Tai Thong, my all time favourite dim sum restaurant. The good folks were awesome ex-colleagues - Beng, Choy and Viv.
Still remember, in 2013, on the day of reunion dinner, Beng, Viv and I were doing sauna, had a crazy laugh before each of us headed home for our respective dinner. This year, our gathering included Choy. Hadn't met her for ages!
Now, this Chinese New Year is blessed by good friends, good food and good times.
One of our favourite things to eat at this dim sum restaurant is lau sa bao. What is it? It's fluffy soft buns made of custard and duck egg yolks, I think. This bao's filling, unlike traditional bao's, is a sweet yellowish cream. Piping hot soft buns make you want to take a bite immediately. To those who doesn't know this bun, will end up having its cream dripping all over your fingers and plate.
We had our share of good laugh until I told them that I shall blog about how to eat Lau Sa Bao.

| How would you eat a bao? Well, for me, I laughed uncontrollably. take a big bite and then slurped hard to prevent drips. |
 |
| How Viv ate Lau Sa Bao? 1. Pose. 2. Tear apart. 3. Smell. 4. Savour. |
 |
| Here, Beng demonstrated how to eat Lau Sa Bao, the custard bun from Tai Thong, a famous dim sum restaurant in Georgetown, Penang. |
Beng, literally, ate his bao in 2 steps. 1. Peel. 2. Stuff into his mouth. He was so funny, everyone couldn't resist giving him a like. 3 likes on the spot. Bravo!
