Best Taiwanese Street Eats @Bao_London

Bao London

Bao London is a London street food restaurant that serves versatile steamed buns and Taiwanese small plates. Opened its first branch in Soho in 2015, BAO has since amassed a huge fan base following up with its Firzrovia opening in 2016!!

Who does not love eating a fluffy bao, filled with juicy meat or fresh cod fish?! Despite the fierce competition in London, BAO certainly lives up to its name. Each of the bao bun was well-presented and tasted out of this world!

You can book for outdoor dining at BAO Soho & BAO Borough but they probably only served limited options on their menu!! @bao_london Even in the pre-pandemic world, you need to book a reservation before showing up to avoid the long long queue!

We tried various steamed buns & Taiwanese small plates, see below for my reviews:

𝒞𝑜𝓃𝒻𝒾𝓉 𝒫𝑜𝓇𝓀 𝐵𝒜𝒪 油封猪肉: Fluffy little buns are full of flavour, thickly cut pork melt-in my mouth !

𝐵𝑒𝑒𝒻 𝓈𝒽𝑜𝓇𝓉𝓇𝒾𝒷 𝐵𝒜𝒪 燉牛小排: Prolly not to exciting as I didn’t register this flavour in my mind!

𝒞𝑜𝒹 𝐵𝓁𝒶𝒸𝓀 𝐵𝒜𝒪 (THIS IS MY FAVVV!)- only available in Fritz branch! It’s crispy on the outside, yet tender when you bite through the battered skin!

𝒯𝒶𝒾𝓌𝒶𝓃𝑒𝓈𝑒 𝐹𝓇𝒾𝑒𝒹 𝒞𝒽𝒾𝒸𝓀𝑒𝓃 𝒞𝒽𝑜𝓅, 𝒮𝑜𝓎 𝒞𝓊𝓇𝑒𝒹 𝐸𝑔𝑔: MUST ORDER with their secret sauce, u can’t taste this anywhere else!

𝐵𝑒𝑒𝒻 𝒞𝒽𝑒𝑒𝓀 & 𝒯𝑒𝓃𝒹𝑜𝓃 𝒩𝓊𝑔𝑔𝑒𝓉炸牛颊腱: LOVE LOVE, another unique + indescribable flavour, uhh, just order & try it urself!

Rating: 8.5/10 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Worth revisit: 𝙔𝙀𝙎𝙎𝙎𝙎! Each small plate costs around £5-£6 but the portions are really small. It’s definitely not CHEAP EATS as the price easily adds up, but these fluffy little buns are 𝐖𝐎𝐑𝐓𝐇 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐇𝐘𝐏𝐄!
