| - THE FOOD
-- Five-spice pork belly steamed bao --
A nice thick slab of pork belly to satisfy fatty meat lovers (aka people who know how to eat). Tasty, but didn't totally blow me away, which kind of surprised me because pork belly is *the* traditional Chinese steamed bao filling. I expected the pork to be a bit more tender and a bit more flavourful. Regardless, a really nice fix for pork lovers.
-- Fried chicken steamed bao --
Now, now. This was some good stuff. The fried chicken portion was generous; a nice big juicy chunk o' chicken. So tender and so flavourful. A really nice spin on the traditional steamed bao. This is a must-have.
***Note: This place has the heat factor down; when they ask if you want your food spicy, they mean it. You get to pick jalapenos, Sriracha sauce, and/or Thai chilis. Oh baby! Finally! A place that takes their heat seriously! Those Thai chilis will satisfy any heat lover. Thank you, BMB for actually carrying through when you ask if I wanted my food spicy.
SERVICE
Nothing to complain about. All all. The kitchen staff making my food were friendly and seemed totally relaxed. With a kitchen that is almost entirely open to the view of customers, it's not always pleasant to stand in front of a kitchen team that displays their level of stress. Thank you, BMB, for not making me feel awkward and/or guilty about my food purchase!
VERDICT
Gotta go back to try more items from the menu. Can't wait.
