Eddie and Evan Huang opened Baohaus on Christmas Eve 2009. Come 2012, Sylvia and Howard watched an episode of The Layover where Anthony Bourdain visits Baohaus. Taiwanese-style steam bun sandwiches? Yes, please!

This is a great little place if you're feeling peckish. The last place we ate at in New York City during this trip. It was such a trip down memory lane for Howard. His eyes just lit up seeing all the Taiwanese sodas on the menu. While my eyes were bigger than my stomach as I wanted to try every sing bao they offered.

Don't worry, we were very reasonable and picked two:

Left: Chairman Bao - Braised All Natural Berkshire Pork Belly. Served with crushed peanut, cilantro, Haus Relish, and Taiwanese red sugar.

Right: Jeremy Lin Bao - Fried Curry Pork Chop. Served with lemon aioli, pickled radish / carrot, cilantro, and jalapeño.

Both were delicious in their own right, but I think I favour the Jeremy Lin Bao! A slam dunk. Yes, I just said that.
