Review of Barobao – by Jenny Q.

I have very mixed emotions for this review. For over two years I have wanted to eat here, so the expectations for these little Baosen were soaring.
I o my company ordered three different BAOs each, one with pork belly, one with cheek and one with fish and "crispy batten". We agreed that pork belly was tastes, but that doesn't mean it had "it". It was very tender, but on the other hand it contained the pork bitten 80% fat and 20% meat. I had desired more hoisin sauce, slightly sourer and crunchy gurkskiva and more intense taste in the flesh. It was missing the textures and the peculiar mix between sweet, salt and sour simply.
And the most important thing for BAOs is still the bread. I had hoped to get the resteamed and warm bread, but instead got bread that was cold. Were they steamed a few hours ago and kept themselves "hot" and fresh in a ångskåp?
The fish crispy Cheerio was tasteless and not at all crispy, but it felt rather like they fried a replacement in the morning and so it was it. However, the sauce was good and different.
The portions were relatively small and a little expensive. We were not really satisfied after three.
Barobao gets a weak third. A deuce had been unfair, for the room was protruding and the girl who helped us was nice. But the food didn't live up to the expectations and reviews that I read here.
