Thoughts: 海友興手工海南包 Hai Yew Heng Pao  has been operating for more than 55 years since 1962 when it started making Bao in Tajong Sepat. It specializes in 传统海南手工包. Many years ago (maybe 17/18 years), the shop only offers 3 types of Pao which is 生肉包 Sang Yoke Pao, 豆沙包 Red Bean Pao, and 加央包 Kaya Pao. But with its popularity among locals and tourist come as far as Singapore, it started to produce 3 more type of Pao which is the 菜包 Vegetable Pao, 梅菜包 Mui Choy Pao, and 花生包 Peanut Pao. Prices of the 6 vairants ranges from rm$1.40 - $2.20, and they only open business for 5 hours with daily production of over 1000 Paos. 
This "Hainanese Pao" shop is not difficult to find as Tanjung Sepat is really not a big town. It operates from a wooden house (kampong house) and beware that typically weekends or public holidays may bump into tour buses and queue can be long. I believe the shop also imposes of limited purchases of the number of Paos per person. 
You can also buy them fresh (without steam) to Tapao home. The 梅菜包 Mui Choy Bao is my favorite.
