Seremban Siew Pau — Restaurant in Negeri Sembilan

A very simple, old-school style bakery located right beside a busy highway. Buns and pastries are baked fresh daily (and continuously) in the kitchen at the back and shelves are promptly restocked once the trays are empty. Business was brisk when I was there on a rainy afternoon. Customers were mainly locals. Bought an assortment of what's on sale that day: kaya kok (big and small), siew paus (pork), pork buns and traditional chinese wife pastries.

The highlight was definitely their siew paus - not too hard but with a pleasant crunchy, flaky and reasonably thin crust and a nicely seasoned, savory, moist meat filling. Their pork buns blew me away as well - they look pretty plain and unassuming but when you bite into it, the bread was super soft and fluffy and the pork was flavorful and quite addictive! Prices are very affordable!

The shop is clean and well-maintained. Products are neatly arranged. Parking is available in front of and around the shop. There's an old uncle - presume is the boss or pastry shifu - and one other lady at the counter in the shop when I was there. Although they didn't smile much, they were quite helpful and would patiently respond to your queries.

You can either choose to fold the small cake boxes available beside the display shelves and then take what you want using the tongs, just like all the locals who already know what to do since they visit the shop frequently, OR you can get the boss or staff to help you 'giap'...

Seremban Siew Pau was selling like hot cakes prior to MCO. They had little outlets almost everywhere. Their Pork Siew Pau was delicious and memorable. This location was supposedly their main location. Key word now is 'used to be'. Used to be good, used to be memorable. Now it is not like what it used to be. Update as of Aug 2024: they now have new offerings of new seafood dishes and curry chicken bun. I think they should stick to...

Been frequenting this specific outlet in Rasah since 2007. Not sure who owns the original recipe - many stalls all over klang valley tout theirs. One things for sure, the idea of baking a pao may have originated from Seremban. So, what better than them in this town. Ample parking. Easy access off and onto...
