What is a Bao?
The Ultimate Sandwich!
Gua Bao, also known as a steamed Bao, is a popular food in Taiwan and Fujian.
Based in Belfast and Dublin, they take immense pride in crafting the highest quality Bao Bun. Their commitment to excellence is reflected in their meticulous and precise practices carried out by their skilled and dedicated Bao Artists, or as they fondly call them, 'baoists'.
From the moment the dough is mixed until the final step of steaming, the baoists display a level of precision that is both an art and a science. The mixing process is a delicate balance - not too fast, not too slow. The dough cannot rest for too long or come into excessive contact with the warmth of a palm during shaping to prevent over-proving. This careful attention to detail ensures that each Bao bun we create is nothing short of a masterpiece.
Their freshly steamed Bao's boast a cushiony and fluffy texture, providing the perfect base to be generously filled with a variety of offerings such as Teriyaki Beef, Hacked Chicken, Char Siu Pork, Hoisin Duck, Popcorn Cauliflower or Tofu. Each Bao is then topped with one of their unique Combo Flavours & Garnishes designed to awaken all your taste buds.
