After nibbling on food samples at the Better Booze Festival, John and I were in need of a real snack. Baohaus was just a short walk away, and since the weather was nice, we decided take our food to a park nearby. (I was hoping this couple would walk away, so I could get a better shot of the storefront. Nope, they stood there for a very long time, so this will have to do.)
Located in East Village, Baohaus is Eddie and Evan Huang’s shop specializing in homestyle Taiwanese food. In case you’ve been living under a rock, this is the Eddie Huang whose memoirs inspired the TV show “Fresh Off the Boat”. The first season has been pretty good, and I’m interested to see where they decide to take it next season. Anyway, this little place is basically Taiwanese street food meets East Village hipster, with hip hop playing in the background.

atLooks amazing! On one of my lasts days I wanted to go for xiao long bao, and my choice was between The Bao and Baohaus. After seeing your pictures, I kind of regret that I didn’t go to Baohaus instead…

atNo xiao long bao at Baohaus, but there’s lots of yummy, fluffy baos here. ;) I really need to search for vegetarian xiao long baos. I miss those things!

atMmmmm, that fried tofu with crushed peanuts looks absolutely amazing. I can only imagine the crunchiness… The other picture, with Sweet Bao Fries looks so funny and weird with the green drizzle :)

atThe tofu was fantastic! I was sad that we only bought one bun each. That green drizzle is a pandan condensed milk glaze. Such an unusual color and too sweet!

at[…] buns. My top pick are Ippudo’s mushroom and eggplant bun and Momofuku’s shiitake bun. Baohaus does a nice tofu bao, and Ivan Ramen’s veggie burger bun is tasty […]
