Pao Pao is a Malaysian Chinese snack which is a favourite among school children. I grew up eating the snack. My Chinese name happens to share the same Chinese character, Pao.
My earliest memory of Pao Pao is my sister would ask me to go to a local shop to get a packet for her. The shop sold a lot of goods and played a role of a gambling dent. Local men would meet up to play mahjong (a type of Chinese game). The owner of the shop sold coffee and soft drinks to her customers to earn money.
I disliked going to the shop as the men would stare at me as if they had never seen a little girl who looked so fair/ pale.
Anyway, Pao Pao happens to my siblings' favourite snack. And mine too.
