"Perfect for: catch-ups over steamed bao and bubble tea. Unlike Bao’s other spots, this King’s Cross café is firstly, quite spacious, and secondly, less about a confit pork-packed meals and more about delicious sweet stuff wrapped up in equally delicious steamed dough. We’re talking salted egg custard sad face bao - which yes, look exactly as cute as they sound - and molten chocolate and cherry bao. But don’t worry, we’re not sending you off to get dessert as lunch (though it’s not a bad idea), because they have all sorts of savoury options. From lobster and crayfish bao and hamburger bao, to 40-day-aged beef steak rice with cheese, as well as some fun baked things like a certified genius steamed dough sausage roll. And if you have any space after all that, get one of their tasty bubble teas." - rianne shlebak
