BAOtastic Bao Makers

Is it much of a surprise that I am coming back once again for another food review at a humble cafe I visited last week?

"No..."

So here I am with another #mellyeats.

This almost a year old edition to the famous Horne Road, a street that is known to be packed with cafes, is called Bao Makers. Like any other cafes, it serves mains, sides, coffee and etc but the star of the menu has got to be the interesting bao choices.

Locals love the traditional kong bak pau (braised pork buns) where a juicy pork belly is sandwiched between a soft steamed bun. The creative people of Bao Makers upped the notch and gave these baos a twist. They managed to pair the baos with other local flavours. To name a few, they have salted egg chicken bao, chili crab bao and pulled pork bao.

I also love how they switch up the way they prepared the baos according to the flavour.  So for the chili crab bao, the bun is deep fried to mimic the fried mantous which one would dip in the sauce while eating a chili crab.

I had joy dining at Bao Makers and I hope I have triggered you to want to have a bite in one of those baos. Now let’s let the pictures do the talking. 


Till next time....
