Overview

So, picture this: you stroll into The Clementi Mall, and you suddenly catch a whiff of something warm and tempting. That’s Nam Kee Pau calling you in with its delightful steamed buns, or paus as they call them. If you’re into Chinese bakeries, this place might just be your new favorite haunt.

Head over to 3155 Commonwealth Avenue West, just off the bustling main hall, and you’ll spot this cozy little gem. Now, it’s not all sunshine and rainbows—some reviews tell tales of staff who could use a sprinkle of friendliness. But here’s the thing: the paus are worth it. Handmade with a recipe that harks back to Johor Bahru, every bite is like nostalgia packed in fluffy dough.

Great fillings for the price too! One of those big baos can fill you up like it’s your best buddy at lunch. And, for just $4, who can resist? You can grab it to go, which is perfect if you’re in a rush or fancy a picnic in the mall’s courtyard.

Now, sure, some people have aired grievances about the service—like the cash-only policy, which feels a bit antiquated. But hey, that’s part of its charm, right? A no-nonsense, back-to-basics vibe.

When it comes to the atmosphere, think casual familiarity. It’s a place where families gather and kids can giggle over dim sums. And while we all wish they could do dine-in (which apparently isn’t a thing), you can always take your meal home.

Don’t forget about the noodles! They’ve got a bit of a mixed bag reputation—some love ‘em, while others say they’re not quite as stellar as the paus. Still, if you’re feeling adventurous, why not give ‘em a shot?

So, if you’re in Singapore and craving some traditional pau, swing by Nam Kee Pau. It might just surprise you, and hey, at least the elderly cook seems to serve with heart. Just remember to bring cash and maybe a smile for the staff!
