Baotime - Richmond

To be completely honest, I have been to Baotime around 4 times and I love it each time. My previous photos have been lost some where but here's an insight from my most recent visits. I absolutely love the flavours of the baos and each time I'm here there's always something new to try. From my last visit in July to the one last night there were literally 2 pages of options I needed to try ASAP, especially all the dessert baos. I would recommend going with a group as there are so many options.

My favourites that I get every time I go would have to be the Captain Baoger, the pork is so tender and full of flavour, I crave it every time. Also a must is the Mr Potato Fries (burnt butter fries), I've never tried this elsewhere and so the first time and every time I've had it I love it so much, especially with some sriracha mayo on the side. And of course my favourite drink there is the Lychee Soda!

July visit
Chilli crab bao ($9.5) soft shell crab cooked in a chilli broth
Captain Baoger ($7.5) braised pork belly with crushed peanuts

Teriyaki Chicken ($15)

K-Style yum yum chicken ($15)

The korean fried chicken here is also one of my favourites. The chicken skin is so crispy without the meat being dry and I love the sweet sticky sauce.

October visit
Back- Lobster bao ($12) lobster meat with mayo and pineapple salad
Baodown combo ($10) (front) Captain Baoger + Mr Potato Fries

Gangnam Pancake ($12)
Kimchi pancake covered in cheese lava

I normally don't like cheese however these pancakes and the cheese tasted really good together.

BAONUTS!! Set for 4 mini baonuts ($10)
Salted caramel & honeycomb, nutella, coco puff and housemade kaya jam

I have been wanting to try the Baonuts since I saw them pop up on my instagram feed and they did not disappoint! Nice and crispy, I can't wait to try the other flavours in the regular size.

Jes is always so helpful and attentive, I look forward to coming here soon in the near future to try more desserts and main dishes.
