When you’re here, don’t miss out their signature Baos which comes with a variety of toppings such as Soft Shell Crab Bao, Pork Bao, Lamb Bao and many more. Combinate any of these topping with their soft and fluffy Baos makes up for one delightful mean!
Heck, this place is worth visiting just for the environment alone.
Reasons to visit Da Bao in Jalan Petaling, Chinatown KL: cool setting; open kitchen; must-order the DaBao G&T, Cooler Than Being Cool, Vegetarian Bao (see if they also convert you to a Brussels sprout fan), DB Wings, Gulu Gulu Rice Bowl.
Anyways, the steamed buns here were real good. I loved it. It was soft, tender and springy, with a lil bit of bouncy effect. Niceeeeeee! The Pork Bao came with a juicy square chunk of sake braised pork belly. There is a layer of fat on the top, which I generally am not a fan of and so, I removed that and the rest of the meal was very pleasant. The pork tasted yummy, love the texture – not hard, a lil chewy, mostly tender. There also was a generous amount of preserved greens that looked a lot like seaweeds? Yea and it had a rather unusual taste but complimented the whole dish well. It worked.
