Dimsum for dinner (1) - Bao Today

Looking for dimsum to eat for dinner? Affordable price? Convenient location? I would recommend Bao Today (包今天) ! Many of you might have noticed or walked past it, it is right outside 313 Somerset, near coffee club. It looks like a traditional little tea house in the outdoors but the dimsum is really good and affordable! And the most important thing is that they sell till night time!

The menu. Many types of baos/paus as reflected on their shop name. The custard bun is REALLY REALLY GOOD. Although the bun is green (think it is pandan flavor but the smell is not very strong). Not exaggerating at all. The sesame one is nice too! 

 Wide selection of choices, and aren't their prices affordable?


 The chinese tea we ordered which we were not sure is it tea or is it for washing hands since the bowl looks like that

 Usually from tasting their siew mai, you can tell if a dimsum restaurant is up to standard


 Here comes THE STAR!!! Super flowy and so much filling! One is never enough. FAV <3

Chee cheong fun is yummy too

Fried shrimp dumpling is nice too and they gave a lot of fillings but it is a tad too oily, especially when you're super full towards the end

Fried mango and prawn roll. I think this is rather oily as the you tiao suck up a lot of oil!

Also tried their xiao long bao and fried carrot cake before and both are good as well!

I've been there like 3 times i think? But i always did not have the chance to try the egg tarts! I'm sure it would be damn nice too. There're so many others that i wanna try: Braised Pork Bao, BBQ Pork Bao (I'm quite a bao person although it makes me full really fast), Crispy Red Bean Paste with Banana, BBQ Pork Pastry and Bo Lo Bao!

They also sell food like congee, curry chicken rice/noodles and noodles. So head down there if you're in town and craving for some yummy dimsum for dinner! :)
