A reliable food court stall serving up fresh, made-to-order Taiwanese steamed buns in a bustling mall setting.
Ordering Strategy
Go for the 'Master Bao Meal' bundle for £12 to get two baos and a side, offering a more complete meal than ordering a la carte.
What to order
Mr Bao
The benchmark classic featuring slow-braised pork, house pickles, and roasted peanuts; the buns are described as perfectly cooked and not too soft.
Master Bao Meal
The most filling and cost-effective option, offering any two buns and a side dish for a fixed price.
Prawn Bao
Features marinated king prawns that are fried but not overcooked and are a good size, though they may take slightly longer to prepare.
Egg Tarts
Recommended in the Vittles Chinatown guide as a standout order from the menu.

Good to know
Located on the 2nd floor of Westfield. Everything is cooked to order, so expect a buzzer and a 15-minute wait despite the fast-food setting.
