let me tell you the story behind athalie's status:

'my psycho sister refuses to leave my room because she's interrogating me over the death of one of her 'nai huang baos'

athalie just found a stash of nai huang bao's in the freezer from 25/10/11 my birthday which Jono bought for me<3

but FOR THE LIFE OF ME, I COULDNT FIND THEM

and it made me upset

like, HOW CAN 14 BAO'S GO MISSING?!!

and apparently my mom said someone else ate them all

and i was SO upset

cos i only at 2

but then athalie ate 3-killed 1 (4 beautiful baos)

when i got home i was so excited (9 left) i put two into it but one dropped so it DIED

and i got so sad

so so so sad

so sad

so

sad

really

but i ate 1 really good one

steamed another two-was very excited

amos wanted one

and i was VERY reluctant because...

ya

but out of the kindness of my sisterly heart

i gave him one

so at the moment 3 left

btw ATHALIE ATE LIKE 6 or something

anyway

because im loving ill try not to hold a grudge.

just to differentiate between the nai huang bao's ok

bao 1:

BAo 2

looks deceptively alike right?

when i was in singapore previously, i heard there was a nai huang bao and i was SO excited

but my face dropped into a stone fish when i ate the bao 1 type of bun

whats the difference?

the bao after my heart is Bao 2,

creamy and custardy, very beautiful

bao 1 was grainy, yolky and strange

and though i tried to enjoy it, I COULDNT

my heart longed for bao 2

to me bao 2 is NOT just a desert or something to survive on

but is a...

see, i cant even describe it.

the soft and suppleness of the gentle bun

its like kissing a baby's cheek

except better

cos you can bite into it and pull it apart *muahahhahahaha

and then the taste of the beautiful yellow creamy custard

milky and sweet

and yet savoury

its like covering your tongue with a nia nia bu (baby blanket)

and hugging your tongue yet dancing on your taste buds

then leaving happy memories in its wake

ooooooo

sigh, i hope the shop that sells it here will never ever ever close
