D'bun Cafe

Sitting in the heart of Joo Chiat, this place has one of the best bazhang and nonya zhang (Chinese rice dumplings) you can find in SG during the dragon boat festival. In all their zhang, the meat is succulent and flavourful, and every drop of rice is coated with umami. Their nonya zhang has a beautiful mix of colours with blue pea making a nice blue contrast on the rice. Their XO bazhang is to die for I could eat 2 at one go! Recommended place to get their paus too especially the pork buns and the chicken buns. The pau is packed with meat and egg and is good for breakfast or as a snack.

the Dumpling is value for money! the meat to rice ratio is GREAT. They gave generous amount of the juicy and chunky meat which is so well marinated and the taste is amazing. the Big Pau is a must try. The marination of the pork that was pair with the hard boiled egg is so juicy! The actual best part is the thin pau skin which is so fluffy and chewy at the same time. The skin also have the mild subtle sweetness to it which I can just take it on its own!

First time ordering rice dumplings from D’Bun and I wasn’t disappointed. The price is as expected because of the raising cost and hike during the festival but they are worth the price. We especially love the rice and good quality ingredients in the Hokkien dumpling. Their big pork bun is really yummy too. Skin is thin and chewy and loaded with pork. I needed to change my order a day before and Serena is really helpful and prompt with my request. Delivery is $12 rather high but they were on time within a 2 hour time frame. I would definitely order again and try the rest of their menu.

Passed by this pau shop a dozen times but was never convinced to try due to its quirky name. The chicken pau was absolutely delicious with fluffy pau skin and a not too salty filling . The char Siew pau while small , was filled generously with with delicious char Siew fillings . Special mention to its yuan yang Bao - with both lotus and red bean fillings and a salted egg yolk . It was nice to see that they sell these traditional HK char Siew 餐包 - quite a rarity in Singapore .

Just got some buns, baos, and cookies delivered. They are all so good, I can't pick a favorite. The gula melaka pecan cookies are morish without being too overwhelming. The buns felt a bit oily, but the filling was really good. I also got some dumplings, but haven't tried them yet. Will definitely buy again.
