Do you Bao? These delectable light fluffy pillows filled with delicious goodies are hard to resist. The Cloud Thief outlet in World Square gives Sydneysiders plenty of choices for their bao fixes and they seem to attract plenty of bao-fans.
So what to choose. They all sounded so good. We started with Spicy Fried Chicken. This was a bao filled with Taiwanese spicy fried chicken, Asian slaw, shallot, sriracha sauce and spicy sriracha mayo. It was a great combination. The next one was Mongolian Lamb. The bao was filled with braised Mongolian lamb, roasted red capsicum, spring onions, XO mayo and cumin praline sprinkle. Another tasty one.
On to another two choices. Next up was the crackling pork roast. This bao was filled with roasted crackling pork belly with green apple, pickled red cabbage, mustard miso mayo and peanut crumble. The pork and apple certainly went nicely together. Finally it was the Peking duck. This bao had Peking duck, crisp iceberg lettuce, cucumber, spring onion and their signature Peking sauce. It was like a bigger version of a Peking duck pancake.
You can also order a side a fries or have them as part of a meal deal. The fries here are super thin, nice and crisp and tasty.
They’re licenced here as well, but also have soft drinks too. We tried an old fashioned lemonade.
Now that we’ve tried a few varieties of their Bao’s we’re keen to try a few more. These fluffy pillows are certainly good.
