I went to enjoy some "Michelin Bib Gourmand" Taiwanese at BAO London. From classic pork to 40-day aged steak rice, this restaurant was inspired by the beef noodle shops of Taiwan.



They have a number of different interesting menus. Some prix fixe, some required for the whole table, a la carte and even a solo diner specific menu.



This was just one stop in a food-fueled day, so I didn't need a full coursed meal. Instead, I picked just a couple items.



I started with the classic bao, which has braised pork, peanut powder, fermented greens and coriander.



I just love the pillowy soft bao bun. This wasn't a classic bao bun that I'm used to. The textures were perfectly thought through. Some soft, some crunch. All flavor.



Then a fermented soda with foam. Very different.



Aaaand I actually can't remember the additional side. Aubergine?
