Seremban Siew Pow Ipoh

Nov 14, 2026 · 2 min read ·Ipoh

I don’t really like char siew pau but this siew pow is different and I really enjoyed it!!!

According to my uncle (who lives in Ipoh), this is the best siew pow in Ipoh 🙂

What is Siew Pow (烧包)

Siew pow (烧包) is a baked pastry traditionally associated with Seremban, Negeri Sembilan.

Unlike the familiar steamed char siu bao, siew pow has:

A crispy, flaky pastry exterior, often made with layers of pastry dough.
A savoury char siu pork filling, usually seasoned with soy sauce, sugar and other spices.
A golden-brown exterior from an egg wash before baking.

Seremban’s siew pow became popular enough to develop into one of the town’s best-known food souvenirs.

This was my first time eating a siew pow and I really enjoyed it.

The pastry is flaky and the char siew filling is not chunky or hard. Overall, it was a delicious sweet and savoury snack.

When we bought the buns, they were nice and warm. Didn’t eat them until a few hours later as we’d just had lunch but it was still delicious.

If you’re visiting, I do recommend trying the siew pow while it’s still warm. Each siew pow was RM3.20 when I visited.

Aside from the famous siew pow they also sell other pastries including:

This siew pow shop has been here for many years. It has a traditional charm to it that many shops in Singapore no longer have.

There are no seating areas so it’s takeaways only.
