When we thought we had exhausted any possibility of finding a new place to try... this turns up... heh.

Julie had asked around her co-workers if there was any interesting places to go to this weekend when the topic of food came around... normal lah! for malaysians... So, the question of why there was no particularly good "pau" place in Kuantan.

The reply was this funny restaurant along the main Berserah Road! So near, yet we had no idea... which only has pau's sold on Saturdays... and only after 2.30pm... and they start taking orders from morning itself...!


Restaurant Zen Zen, mostly serves mixed rice and typical drinks on most times... but i think they specially make their own "pau"s to cater to some requests from patrons and had proven popular... so its a permanent Saturday fixture.

We tried 3 of their 4 limited choices, missing out on their "Chai Pau" (Vegetable pau) which we will come back later to try...

We had their "Loh Mai Kai" which proved to be their best offering... yummy glutenous rice with lots of "lieu"... really good!


Their "Char siew pau" was ok... Julie loved it... but it was not my kind of pastry... they used the non fluffy dough... it was the more traditional kind of pau...


The next offering was more unique... a mix of butter and kaya... aptly named "Yin-Yong pau" it smelled heavenly... and tasted really nice... Julie was more interested in the "char siew" one...


After the yummy meal... we went to see "The Dark Knight"... what more can i say about the film... go watch it... and be dazzled for the next 2.5 hours.
