Baohaus
The ever so popular pork buns made popular by David Chang of the Momofuku line, come a tiny shop in LES whose menu only serves these sandwiches.
One of my foodie loving chicas could not stop raving about this place. So I went. On my way, I discover from a colleague that he is friends with the owner, Eddie Huang. (small world, ain’t it?)
I like the set up of the shop. The trend that’s going on in the LES and East village is small specialty shops. Given, the limited space, these entrepeneurs have to be creative in designing what they have to work with. Appearance is not everything but I think it matters to some small degree. I am all about the feel and look of a place as well as the food.
Open kitchen! Tiny!
Typical drinks found in Asian/Hispanic supermarkets. I grew up on these!
Haus Bao- signature Certified Angus Skirtsteak Bao, Served with: Crushed peanut, cilantro, Haus Relish, and Taiwanese red sugar.
Chairman Bao: Braised slow and low using Niman Ranch Pork Belly, Served with: Crushed peanut, cilantro, Haus Relish, and Taiwanese red sugar.
Sweet Bao Fries: Sweet fried slices of Bao served with sweet sesame dipping sauce. (Not a fan at all and way too greasy)
Overall: I like! The salt & vinegar boiled peanuts are tasty too!
