It was around this time last year when I first discovered bao buns. I was wandering through Grainger Market’s endless food stalls, hoping that something would jump out at me screaming “pick me, I won’t disappoint you!” 

Then I saw the beautiful blue banner: Bao Down. To be perfectly honest, the fun name was what sold me at first… but trust me when I tell you, bao buns are absolutely worth ‘bao-ing down’ to. 

If you aren’t familiar, bao buns are pillowy, cloud-like dough pockets, stuffed with the most delicious fillings. You can have almost anything - from hoisin duck, to sticky chicken, and even to the most amazing aubergine which could convert any meat-eater - the possibilities are genuinely endless. It’s not just Bao Down; it's been proven time and time again that bao buns are unbeatable, regardless of where you buy them from.

Whether it’s a quick lunch in the middle of summer or a cold winter pick-me-up, bao buns are the perfect treat -  bursting with flavour yet undeniably comforting all at once. 

So, get yourself down to Grainger Market. Trust me, you won’t regret it!
