Review on BAO Fitzrovia | Matcha Travelers

Always wanted to try this places since it is mentioned on the TimeOut London’s top food 100 places. BAO is famous for their Taiwanese style food and snack like dish. It was a little reunion between my cousin and I and we’ve ordered quite a few stuff from BAO.

The selection of Baos we’ve ordered were: Black Cod, The Classic, Lamb.

The Black Cod looked black because it was a deep fried in batter and the batter seems to be dyed; calling it Black Cod. It included a hint of spicy as there is a little tiny bit of chilli sauce.

The Classic was braised pork that has an authentic Asian taste that a lot of Taiwanese food has. It was incredibly juicy as it seems to be taken out from the pork full of juices.

The Lamb is an interesting one; it has green sauce, and soy pickled chilli. It was an unusual combination, but it worked. I was not sure what’s the green sauce, but it worked.

We also ordered some little Rice Bowls, the Beef Shortrib and Marrow Rice. The bowl was incredibly tiny and adorable. At first, we thought it’s a dish that we would both share, but it’s a tiny dish for one.

There was a dish that caught my eye on Twitter that I thought I should try out, and that was the Duck Hearts, Chilli Garlic Sauce. Even though it may not be everyone’s cup of tea but we both enjoyed it. It was not chewy compared to other duck hearts that I had in the past; it also has plenty of chopped spring onions on top, making it tasty.

My cousin ordered a cocktail, Confusion Confucius; apparently, it was nice. Sadly, I didn’t order any drinks.
