Finding Good-best Salapao (bao Buns) In Bkk

[jfchandler]

GF introduced me lately to the Waraporn Salapao chain, which offers Thai versions of Chinese steamed dough buns (bao) filled with savory and sweet fillings. Pretty tasty fare at 18 baht per bun at Waraporn Salapao, which made BK Magazine's list of 100 favorite dishes to eat last year.

Locations on the ground floor of MBK (counter next to Tops market), 7th floor of Central World, a sit-down shop a block down the street from Phyathai II Hospital, and elsewhere. Used to have a location at Siam Paragon, but that's now departed.

Bao flavors include ground pork, roast BBQ pork, mixed vegetables, green pork curry, roast duck with ground pork, cream, black bean with sweet pumpkin, taro with gingko, and lotus paste with salted egg. Menu also includes hot and cold drinks, meat-rice dishes and some shumai dimsums.

They have a Thai language only web site here.
