SWEET. BABY. JESUS.
I really don’t need to write anything else down. This post could literally just say sweet baby jesus and that is all the description you would need. Except I love you guys, and you deserve more care and attention than just three words. I just wanted to make sure you know how serious I am about these bao/taco/crack creations made by local Vancouver geniuses, Bao Down.
So what are these stunning creations? Take an asian steamed bun, make it a bit flatter. TACO BUN. That’s right friends, steamed taco buns. (Okay that is definitely not what they are actually called but its the best way I can describe their amazingness. Taco. BUN.) Aight so you got your steamed taco bun thing. Top that with the freaking best ingredients ever, and you have absolute magic.
I want you guys to get the best possible experience when you go to Bao Down, so ima tell you my fave 3 buns to get:
- YVR –> holy GOD. Bao Down team, you nailed this SO hard. There is a reason I order the YVR every single time (except today when I took these pics because you were sold out and I was really sad about it… just saying 🙁 ) Think seared albacore tuna, avocado, and bacon.
- Bao Chika Bao Bao!! –> Okay first off the name. YES. Whoever made that up I need to marry. Second, so yummy. Lemon grass and garlic FREE RANGE & LOCAL chicken. I like my chickens free, and I like em’ local. Bonus points fo sho.
- Jaws –> Om nom nom nom. Vietnamese catfish crusted in coconut shreds. Yes, coconut shreds. Sign me up for all of this right now. Just amazing.
Alright so it is pretty obvious how I feel about Bao Down. Basically, if you live in Vancouver and haven’t been yet. Go. Just do it. You will thank me, I promise 🙂 In Beyonce’s wise words…. Bao Down bitches. 😛
PS: Thank you to the kind people at Bao Down for running after me down the block when I forgot my iPhone at the restaurant. I literally would have started having panic attacks and severe separation anxiety had me and my sweet baby (yes, I am still talking about my phone) been separated any longer. 😉 haha
