While I absolutely loved grabbing @babybao_uk as a Friday night takeaway from Earl’s Bao pop ups, I was genuinely thrilled to see them return to their rightful home at @thepondbrighton Naturally, I couldn’t wait to visit and I’m happy to report it was just as good as ever! And also at £5 Baos in January, it’s a great time to check it out!
@babybao_uk have long been the GOAT of Brighton when it comes to bao buns. Their classic pork belly bao is still my standout, packed with cucumber, peanut, hoisin and spring onions, it’s a guaranteed winner every time. Pair that with their outrageously good loaded fries and you’ve got a match made in heaven. My personal favourite has to be the House Fries, loaded with sriracha, miso mayo, hoisin, spring onions, peanuts and crispy onions, utterly delicious
Add a pint of Pond Water and the buzzing, vibrant atmosphere that @thepondbrighton always delivers, and you’re onto an absolute winner. A must try if you haven’t already, and so good to have Baby Bao back at The Pond, I think I speak for everyone when I say we missed you!
