Expect to find nothing less than perfect mapo tofu braised in Szechuan pepper sauce that’s headily aromatic and spicy. Fiery green beans are slathered in ginger, chilli and garlic and perfectly al dente; or try the twice-cooked baby beef ribs in barbecue sauce. The Matterhorn soko – lamb with green basil-mint drizzle, toasted sesame seeds and spring onions – is a must. Move onto fluffy baos, stuffed to the rim with various fillings.



The Baohaus bao is a favourite, with teriyaki beef, hoisin, Japanese mayo and pickled onions. Or try the exotic Kung Pow bao with spicy Korean beef, kimchi, sesame, gochujang, mayo and spring onions. Whet your appetite with coconut water, yuzu gingerbeer or Turkish delight lemonade.
