  • If this is a new trend of having tasty steamed buns ("bao" if you read it in Cantonese) following a foot race I'm loving it! I had the pleasure of ordering and eating from this food truck (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/great-bao-las-vegas?select=IYXd86zCnkTdXHihCywYNg#RRkCwVYiUUhxC2gY4bScQA) back in December after participating in the Las Vegas Great Santa Run as it and another dozen or so food trucks were all lined up in the race assembly area ready to feed the nearly 10,000 Santas who turned out for the event. The Great Bao truck was easily one of the more popular trucks with a steady line of people ordering food and another group waiting for their orders. I waited too, but it was until the crowds diminished before I put in my order. The menu was pretty simple (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/great-bao-las-vegas?select=IYXd86zCnkTdXHihCywYNg#nLQH80BQIF9oW2S7iGVl1g). They basically had four types of steamed buns, bagged chips and refreshments. The buns were pretty inexpensive at $3.50 each or 3 for $10. The 3 bao combo also included a drink and a bag of chips! I'm not sure what I was thinking when I placed an order for 2 buns instead of 3. I didn't realize my mental breakdown until I had paid for my order. Maybe it was the temporary meltdown of having run hard for a short distance race or maybe I was just wacky from seeing all that red from the people in Santa suits at every direction I turned. Anyway, I ordered 1 Roast Duck bao and 1 Pork Belly bao and nothing else since I had collected an armful of race refreshments from other event sponsors. By this time the staff had their routine down to perfection, and my made to order steamed buns (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/great-bao-las-vegas?select=IYXd86zCnkTdXHihCywYNg#Sd1ztJyGREFdt-vAbJi7ng) were ready lickety-split. The Roast Duck bao was delicious. The plum sauce was just sweet enough as to not overpower the taste of the roast duck, and I loved that they included a piece of green onion which reminded me of the Peking Duck and steamed clamshell buns we enjoy at Chinese banquets. The piece of duck I had, however, was a bit dry and slightly burned as you can probably notice in the photo that I've posted. I lucked out on the Pork Belly bao as they gave me a huge piece of pork belly with very little fat on it. Even though there was a sauce, a smidgeon of what looked like minced pickled veggies and a sprig or two of fresh cilantro all I could really taste was the delicious pork belly and the subtle sweetness of the steamed bun. This was my first experience with any Las Vegas food truck and I liked it ... a lot!
