Returned to one of my all time favourites, Little Bao, a casual eatery that serves the cutest baos, perfect for a quick and casual lunch! 🍔 Pic 1️⃣: Pork Belly Bao - $88 hkd— Probably my favourite bao from the meal! I love that this is a non-deep fried option which makes it a lot less oily as a lot of their menu items are already deep-fried. The slow-braised pork belly was really juicy and flavourful, and went really well with the sesame mayo hoisin ketchup, which added a bit of acidity to it.Pic

Pic 2️⃣: Fried Chicken Bao - $98 hkd
— Despite being fried, the chicken was still extremely juicy and tender. This could’ve done with a bit more sauce as it was slightly dry in my opinion.
Pic 3️⃣: Teriyaki Chicken Bao - $98 hkd 🐔
— I didn’t think this would be fried chicken if I’m honest so I was a bit surprised when this arrived! The chicken was super crispy and crunchy, clearly made to order as everything was really hot. There was a bit too much chicken skin in my chicken so I could barely taste any meat in this unfortunately. The sauces were nice and flavourful, wasabi mayo was pungent, but the teriyaki sauce was slightly weak. Loved the acidity from cucumber salad to balance out the greasiness of everything else and also added a nice crunch.
Pic 4️⃣: Green Tea Ice-Cream Bao - $38 hkd 🍵
— Really good and a must order! It tastes as good as it looks! Quite a strong green tea taste coming from the ice cream and a nicely fried bao bun. Nice addition of condensed milk but some may find this a little too sweet.
Pic 5️⃣: Salted Ice-Cream Bao - $38 hkd 🍨
— Another good dessert! Flavours were less complex in comparison to the green tea one but still good. The ice cream in this was slightly bland but it was saved by the salted caramel sauce.
Pic 6️⃣: Truffle Fries - $98 hkd 🍟
— These were really good. Loaded with braised shiitake tempeh which was super flavourful, the truffle mayo had a strong truffle taste which I loved. Interesting addition of pickled daikon for some acidity and crunch.
Pic 7️⃣: Fried Mushrooms - $68 hkd 🍄
— This was interesting. Haven’t had much fried mushroom, but this was quite good! It definitely has a kick to it as the peppercorn oil is quite strong and leaves a numbing sensation afterwards. Mushrooms were fried nicely and the coating was super crispy whilst the mushrooms were still moist.
