Handcrafted Chinese steamed buns and dim sum, a cherished tradition served at NEX since 1994.
Ho Kee Pau at NEX carries on a cherished tradition of handcrafted Chinese steamed buns, serving authentic pau and dim sum to Serangoon diners since 1994. The stall is known for its soft, pillowy buns made fresh by hand, with fillings ranging from savoury char siew to sweet lotus paste. It is a familiar favourite for those seeking a quick, comforting bite that tastes of old-school craft.Beyond its signature pau, the menu extends to dim sum items such as prawn dumplings and beancurd rolls, alongside other traditional Chinese snacks ideal for breakfast or a midday treat. Tucked into the basement food court at NEX (#B2-42), it offers a convenient grab-and-go option for shoppers and commuters passing through the mall. It suits families, office workers and anyone with a soft spot for classic hawker-style fare.
For a taste of heritage in the heart of Serangoon, Ho Kee Pau is well worth the stop. Pick up a warm bun or two and savour a little piece of Singapore's culinary tradition.

Staff is rude and lazy, cashier on Sun 21st Dec. Didn't inform got fried dumpling promotion 3 pcs for $6, bought 2, when asked she only say cannot. You can at least have courteosy to inform customer to add one more, right? We dont mind to top up nor will understand if cant, but service definitely can be much improved.

The dim sum was mediocre and the ingredients were quite ordinary. The egg tart crust had turned soft from warming.
