Food Out Of The House: Duck Confit Bao

[tuftears]

dracosphynx should be pleased: not only did I go for a walk outside the house, I stopped at a restaurant I hadn't been to before and sampled something there!

The name of the restaurant was Buffalo : Beers / Burgers / Baos.

I paused. "Wait, one of these things does not normally go with the others." Baos being those Chinese steamed buns filled with char siu, generally, though I've sampled some variants on the theme. I peeked inside. They seemed relatively un-busy. The server at the back inquired, "Would you like to be seated, sir?"

"I saw from the outside that you serve baos."

"We do indeed." He proffered a menu.



This was their 'Duck Confit Bao', alongside a mug (well, Southern-style pint-sized mason jar) of IBC root beer.

It wasn't exactly what I was expecting. A bao is typically an *enclosed* steamed bun. This was more... Well, Peking duck. It tasted pretty much like that, too. Still, it wasn't bad. Maybe a bit pricey for a single-serving snack item, but I just wanted a taste to see if it was worth coming back at some point for a full meal.

This is probably a better place to go for burgers and maybe buffalo wings, though. :)
