Our Ingredients Speak for Themselves

We source locally raised pork for its freshness and flavor. It’s carefully ground in-house, never pre-processed, and blended with traditional aromatics: fresh ginger, scallions, soy sauce, a touch of Shaoxing wine — just like it’s done in Zhejiang kitchens.

Every step is intentional. From the first slice to the final fold, we never rush the process.

Because the best flavors come from care, not shortcuts.

🔥 The Final Touch: Bamboo Steam

Once filled and folded, each bao is placed in a bamboo steamer, just as it’s been done for generations. The steam coaxes the dough into fluffy, cloud-like softness, locking in all the pork’s rich flavor and juice.

This is why your first bite always comes with a burst of warmth — it’s comfort, sealed by steam.

🥢 Come Taste the Tradition

Whether you're here for lunch or taking home a frozen 6-pack, you're not just getting a bun — you're getting a story, hand-folded and hot.
