\"Baohaus,<\/a><\/p>\n

After nibbling on food samples at the Better Booze Festival<\/a>, John and I were in need of a real snack. Baohaus<\/a> 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.)<\/p>\n

\"Baohaus,<\/a><\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

\"Baohaus,<\/a><\/p>\n

\n

Each bao is pretty small, but not bad for a snack. Meat eaters can choose from a selection of baos and rice bowls with chicken, fish, or pork. The Uncle Jesse Bao ($3.55) is the only vegetarian bao at Baohaus, but it’s seriously fantastic.<\/p>\n

\"Uncle<\/a><\/p>\n

Organic fried tofu with seasoned salt, crushed peanuts, Taiwanese red sugar, cilantro, and Haus sauce. The bao is light and fluffy, and the peanuts and red sugar sure make it tasty. Fried tofu done right! The outside was crispy and flavorful, while the inside was tender.<\/p>\n

\"Uncle<\/a><\/p>\n

Unfortunately, they were out of Taro Fries, so we got the Sweet Bao Fries ($3.55) instead. The bao bread is steamed, then fried, then drizzled with a condensed milk glaze. The bao fries were okay, but I’m not the biggest fan of condensed milk. Hope I’ll get to try the taro next time!<\/p>\n
