Baby Bao the Pond

When @babybao_uk won Best Resident Kitchen at @brightonsbestrestaurants for their food at @thepondbrighton I was not surprised at all and made me realise I needed to get down there asap as I hadn’t been for a while!

Of course, it didn’t disappoint! The classic pork belly Bao is my favourite and I could eat a few of these in a row if given the opportunity! We also had the BB House fries which are always great with an amazing combination of miso mayo, hoisin, peanuts, sriracha

For a change we tried the Miso roasted cod Bao with wakame slaw, sesame, miso mayo, kale crisp. It was pretty good and great flavour but didn’t compare to the pork in my opinion. We also had the weekend special which was the tandoori chicken Bao which was a really interesting fusion of flavours- really fresh with cucumbers and shallots and Rita sauce…I would definitely have it again!

Really can’t go wrong with this place. Always delivers and is such good food. The pub has a great vibe too and it’s a nice place to chill and unwind with some good drinks and food! A must visit if you haven’t been before or if you haven’t tried Bao Buns before- this is the best place to start your Bao journey!
