Are you a fan of fluffy, light, steamed buns stuffed with delicious fillings? Then it's time to head to Kazinczy utca. A brand new bao spot has just opened in Karaván, serving up banging variations – just look for 101Bao.
If 101 sounds familiar, you've probably already looked up the best Asian spots in town. The team behind 101Bistro – a Taiwanese fusion hotspot near Széll Kálmán tér – has been making waves and expanding their empire. Each of their eateries brings something different to the table: 101Tigris dishes out Asian-inspired noodles, while 101Neo is all about katsu don, rice bowls, and noodle soups. Now, with 101Bao, they’re bringing their signature twist to steamed buns.
Bao, the all-time favourite
Bao has been a crowd-pleaser since the opening of 101Bistro and even guest stars at Neo every once in a while. But now, it's taking centre stage at a brand-new joint – right in the heart of the party district. Street Food Karaván is a place that belongs on your Budapest bucket list, bao or no bao – but now, there's even more reason to visit. It's a one-stop shop for the city's best street food, offering everything from lángos and goulash to burgers (including a dedicated vegan food truck), Mexican, and chimney cake.
Take your pick from five baos: the classic soy-marinated confit pork belly, the tempura shrimp with a creamy egg-based sauce, pulled duck with hoisin sauce and crispy cucumbers, kimchi fried chicken with Tabasco mayo, and a radish version featuring Lo Bak Go – a fresh kohlrabi vegetable croquette. Each bao is freshly handmade daily, and if you’re craving a little extra, go for the Chongqing spicy fries or golden kimchi on the side.
