We love Chinese food, but let's admit it, we are a bit tired of the usual combo of spring rolls and fried rice. Luckily for us, many restaurants go beyond that and create original and delicious specialties. One of them is the bao, a small steamed stuffed bun from northern China. Here are 4 great Asian restaurants where baos are flowing.
CO DO HUE
Here, the bao is served as an appetizer. Soft and tender, it is filled with shrimp and pork. For those with a bigger appetite, you can upgrade the appetizer to a main course (to have more, of course!). The appetizer version costs 8.50€.

Dumplings and co
At Dumplings and co, the king of steam, the bao is enjoyed with lacquered chicken and barbecue: you'll need to pay around 3€ for a bao. For the sweet lovers, there are also two sweet versions for dessert: the bao with red bean paste or the bao with English cream...
