The other way round

What's in there?

Emperor Bao (皇帝鸡香包), a thin layer of steam bun wrapped with steamed chicken with glutinous rice ( like Lo Mai Gai). Top with minced/chopped roasted pork- char siu with sauce.
Though the filling are actually Lo Mai Gai alike, it tasted slightly different, steamed chickens are prepared with onions instead of mushrooms.

I was told that we can only find Emperor Bao at Restaurant Tim Sum How Her Siang in Malacca. Am not so sure about this but do share with me if you have tried Emperor Bao from other restaurants. Would be great to know more!
