Pang Susi

Little meat buns; these were always present at our birthday parties and children loved them. Variations of them exist in the bread-and-bun stores throughout Singapore, as sweetly glazed bread dough enclosing meat filling. My father has since become a habitual consumer of these as a result of my mother’s pang susi. In his old age, we told him to cut back on them. One day, my sister Maggie and I offered him a lift home from Parkway Parade Mall. He seemed coy about something.
