Baos are usually banal elements of a standard dim sum spread. But not this impressive creation! Each bun houses a sizeable gobbet of finely chopped BBQ pork, marinated in honeyed sauce which strikes a good balance between sweet and savoury. The skin was crisp and airy, perfectly browned in the oven but not excessively greasy. I still prefer Tim Ho Wan’s rendition (just for that crumbly, melt-in-your-mouth texture), but this certainly puts up a good fight.
