Bao Wow – Thai street food at City Walk

Have you tried out the newest wow place in town – Bao Wow? Specializing in bao (of course) and lots of Thai street delicacies, this City Walk eatery is colorful, spacious and a whole lot of fun.

Read on to find out what we tried and what I loved the most >

Mixed Dimsums

From this selection of chicken gyoza, Peking duck and shu mai dumplings, the chicken ones were my favorite. Although more than the dimsums, it was the presentation that wowed us!

Oh Bao!

Oh Bao! Quite creative in terms of name, these classic bao buns were filled with tender chilli beef and flavored with a mix of coriander and red chillies. Peanut crumble garnish gave it a very Thai finish.

Prawn Tempura

These bao buns came with a large piece of fried prawn sandwiched within along with pickled onions, fresh cucumber and chilli bean mayo.

Singapore noodles

Very street style, these ones were my second favorite. Right from the shrimps and chicken to the mixed veggies and flavors of curry and lime, everything about these noodles was perfect.

Chicken Katsu

This was my ultimate favorite. The Katsu curry was creamy, chicken crispy and juicy, and the rice, just wow.

Bao-ger

More than the black bun burgers, it was the typical Thai street styled presentation in a brown bag that made these so interesting. The wagyu beef was pretty good though. Worth a try.

Dynamite roll

Anything that says dynamite and shrimp on the menu has to get on my plate. Although not the dynamite shrimps that you usually expect, these sushi rolls packed a punch along with a twist of avocado, habanero maybo and togarashi flavors.

Coco Bang

Now here’s something quintessentially Thai street style. Right from the plastic bag packaging to the coriander and chilli infused passion fruit juice, this mocktail is a must have at Bao Wow. Don’t leave without trying this.
