Bao Today - They Don't Only Sell Baos Here!

 I have always thought that Bao Today sells only steamed baos, much like Just Dough. My doctor and colleague  laughed their heads off when I told them about my assumption.They brought me to Bao Today for lunch, and I realized how wrong I was. 

 
Bao Today turned out to be a Cantonese restaurant that serves everything from steamed and fried dim sums to porridge and noodles. 
 
 
 
Owned by Jimi Tan of Fortunate Restaurant, the restaurant is inspired and modeled after the legendary "Justice Bao". The baos come with Bao-inspired names such as Bao Hei Zi, Wang Chao, Lu Ding Ji and Ma Han. Even the menu is designed and named "Gongsun book". 

 

 

 
 
Golden Sand Bao, which is really salted egg bao, is one of the signatures at Bao Today. The salted egg filling is flowy and more salty than sweet with the distinctive grainy texture of salted egg, but I do wish the bao skin could be a little fluffier.  
 
 
Savoury Teochew Crystal Bao is the salty version while Teochew Crystal Bao is the sweet version, probably filed with sweet red bean paste. The translucent skin which is made of glutinous rice powder, is stuffed with a variety of chopped vegetables such as radish, carrot and mushroom. It is refreshingly light and tastes even better when eaten together with the accompanying sauce. 
 
 
I believe there is no need for me to introduce Crispy Fried Shrimp Dumplings since this is such a popular dim sum. It's really quite oily, the sweet and sour helps to mask the oiliness. 
 

 

 

Beef Brisket Noodle is really the reason we are here. My doctor swears this is one of the best he has ever had and I am curious to know if it is really as good as he makes it out to be. Yellow thin noodles that can normally be found in wanton noodles is served together with braised radish and beef brisket in a slightly thick braise stock. The beef briskets are melt-in-the-mouth tender. 
 
Bao Today offers more than 30 types of traditional delicacies that is easy on the wallet. There are 3 Bao Today restaurants in Singapore and each outlet offers a different dining experience.

PAUL

PAUL is a renowned family French bakery and patisserie founded in 1889. Bringing with them them the fine tradition of passion for food and French traditions, PAUL gives Singaporeans a glimpse into French culture and tradition through the delicious and visually-appealing pastries and food.       PAUL's Hot Chocolate is not as creamy as I would have liked it but every last drop is made with good-quality cocoa powder.     Lemon Tart With Meringue is not exactly my favourite dessert, but it looked so pretty that I decided to give it a try anyway. However, it proved to be too sour for my palette even with the beautifully flamed meringue.    Croque Madame is croque-monsieur (grilled ham and cheese sandwich) topped with a fried egg. Emmental cheese, cream and ham is sandwich in pain de eie and toasted till a rich golden brown colour. Topped with a fried egg with runny yolk, every bite is filled with delicious goodness.   Address and telephone n...

O'ma Spoon

                        Korean bingsu is a popular Korean dessert comprising of ice shavings and various ingredients such as sweetened condensed milk, fruit syrups, fresh fruits, Korean rice cake and ice-cream. Bingsu is all the craze in Singapore now and Korean bingsu cafes are popping up everywhere like wild mushrooms.                            Besides bingsu, this dessert cafe also serves usual cafe offerings such as coffee and tea. I have been told that their Signature Oven-Baked Honey Bread is very good. The flavours include Strawberry & Chocolate with Ice Cream, Banana & Chocolate with Ice Cream and Green Tea with Ice Cream.     I was told that   Mango Cheesecake Bingsu   is one of the most popular item on the menu. Oh my, it is a sight to behold! A bowl of shaved ice is topped with sweetened condensed milk and freshly-cut m...

Grandma's - Authentic Singapore Food

Grandma's has been around for quite a while now but I only got the chance to try their food recently when the third outlet opened in Suntec City.        I remember having these prawn crackers when I was little. They are so easy and good to eat, I can finish a whole package of this in one sitting.     I don't usually order Malay food, but the Nasi Bukhari looked so good in the menu, I thought I will give it a try. Fragrant yellow turmeric rice is served with golden brown chicken leg which is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Prawns were fresh and succulent but I don't really like the sauce the prawns are cooked in. What really amazes me about this dish is the beef rendang.          I never knew Bo Bo Cha Cha is so such a delightful dessert until I tried it here at Grandma's. The warm and thick coconut tastes so good with chunks of sweet potato and yam. This is definitely comfort food that warms the heart.   Gr...
