💭 Last time I visited sister restaurant Mr Bao, I said I preferred the sides to the bao and that’s still the case for me. Though I didn’t dislike the bao, I wanted them to be stuffed to the brim a little more. I wouldn’t have minded a fake meat option to add that meaty texture to contrast against the soft bun. The mushroom one was my fave of the two. Their special chongqing cauliflower was really tasty and I couldn’t get enough of the creamy sesame aubergine. Think I almost licked the plate clean. I wouldn’t mind one more hearty vegan option on the menu, especially as the cauliflower isn’t permanent. A bit more protein would be nice – maybe some skewers or vegan pork dumplings using Omnipork
