An Ode to the Humble Pau
Oh, steamed green little mound,So warm, soft and round,
Filled with a sweetish pandan paste,
That's so fragrant and lovely to taste,
One of my favourite breakfast foods,
It never fails to put me in the mood,
How I love my pandan pau,
Makes me long for one right now!
Okay, forgive the bad poetry! But I couldn't help waxing lyrical about my favourite pau (steamed filled bun)! I don't like just any pau but it has to be this green pandan-flavoured pau filled with pandan flavoured paste from the nearby coffee shop.
There's just something about the fragrant pandan paste within that had me hooked the first time I tried it! It isn't too sweet and has a very lovely smell...which could entirely be due to flavouring and colouring! Plus, I do love the greenish contrasting hues of the pau and its filling, don't you?!
