But Little Bao is the restaurant she is best known for and now it has a second branch. In Causeway Bay's Fashion Walk area. It's found right behind Tian Tian Hainan Chicken. It's larger than the Sheung Wan location. With more tables and even an outdoor eating area. Another difference is that it's open for lunch and dinner as opposed to the Sheung Wan branch that is only open at night.
I arrived for lunch and it was already very full. But they were able to sit me at the bar. Lunch time has a lunch set menu. For $118, you get a share, side, bao and drink. Menu is in English and Chinese. Most of the staff speak English only.
I chose the lemonade as my drink. It was actually lemon juice with soda water. Which clearly wasn't what I was expecting and not what I call lemonade.
This is the Korean glass noodles. This was ok. Regular Korean glass noodles with bits of pomelo and flavored with yuzu. It was refreshing and light.
My side was a sesame okra. I wasn't too thrilled with this. The sesame was a bit too much and made the thing a bit too salty. The okra was crunchy which I did like.
I ordered the pork belly bao. This is the only thing I loved in the entire set lunch. It's no wonder this place is famous for the bao. The bun was soft and fluffy. Sweet and lovely in every bite. The pork belly was tender and literally fell apart. This was all topped with slices of pickled onions an cucumbers. This was fabulous.
The service was ok. Food came out quickly. Though I did note that the people next to me weren't served anything even though they had arrived far earlier than me. The only really good thing was the bao. Everything else was a bit meh and definitely one can skip. I will be back but I think I'd only stick to ordering a bao and nothing else.
