Glazed Pork Bao Buns with Hoisin and Pickles
€6.50
Our most iconic bite: fluffy buns with slow-cooked, soy-glazed pork.
Tip: A mandatory order. The flavor of the pork is incredibly intense and the bun is as soft as a cloud. One per person is never enough!

Mosquito
El Born·$
Fried Steamed Bao with Condensed Milk
€5.50
A sweet-savory dessert of deep-fried fluffy buns.
Tip: It sounds simple but it's incredible. The hot, fried bread and the cold, sweet milk is the perfect combination.
