Gongfu Bao

These beautiful beefy boys were captured by @concepttocamera back when we could put food on tables for you. But we can still put some bao in your belly! Pro-tip: you can pre-order online or over the phone starting at 4 PM. Get those orders in, especially if you want some late-night fried chicken!

OOOOOOOOOOOH CANNED COCKTAILS! We've got some tasty fruity flavours from our friends @collectivedistilling and you can get them in a discounted Party Pack if you want to try all 4! Head to our link-in-bio or call 613 454 5963 to get all the details.

It's a curd to us that we really love tofu! Red-braised tofu is a big part of our #vegan offerings, but we have quite a few tasty plant-based bites. In fact, everything in this photo is vegetarian and most of it is vegan! Give us a call at 613-454-5963 and we will walk you through all the herbivorous options.

POP-POP! We're popping off on Wednesdays with our Peppersalt Popcorn chicken. It's dippable, delicious, and you don't want to miss out - so hit our link-in-bio to reserve your order for pickup any old time before 10pm.

We're now open until 10 pm - and doesn't #DowntownBank look gorgeous at night? Hit our link-in-bio for pickup or delivery orders anytime after 4pm tonight! A big shout out to the @DowntownBank BIA for this photo and everything they do for the neighbourhood.

I'm just a pork bao, I need no sympathy, Because I'm easy come, easy go, A little high, little low, Any way the wind blows, Doesn't really matter to me, toooo meeeeee...... #baohemianrhapsody P.S. - MIX AND MATCH 2PC BAO NOW AVAILABLE AFTER 8 PM! See more

It's not quite warm enough today for a picnic like this one, but the weather is perfect for a socially-distanced/masked-up walk on @DowntownBank. And why not pick up a few bao while you're at it? Photo creds to @lanthane_radium!

We slow cook this brisket for 18 hours - and THEN we braise it in an aromatic master stock. That's long enough for you to drive to Washington, DC and back - but we would NOT recommend doing that right now. Photo creds to the talented @hungry_wongs!

Hope y'all got some rest, some feasting, & some rest from feasting, 'cause we'll be back at it TODAY (4pm Wed, December 30th)! Winter hours in full effect: Wednesday - Friday: 4pm-9pm Saturday - Sunday(!): 11am-9pm

Grilled Cheese baozi makes its triumphant return! A pan fried bao stuffed with @fromageriestalbertcheese curds, shallots, ginger and sriracha. Comes with a side of Lao Gan Ma chili crisp hot sauce! These guys move quick so order ASAP.

Our Tofu "Belly" Bao is our #vegan adaptation of a traditional Taiwanese dish. Our red-braise sauce is made with Red Fuyu (fermented bean curd), Toban Djan (fermented broad bean chili paste), & lots of fresh ginger & garlic for a rich and savoury flavour. Instead of the traditional pork belly we use tofu to keep things #vegan and we swap the peanuts for roasted soybeans to keep things nut-free.* House gai choy relish & fresh cilantro seal the deal! *Still let us know if ya got an allergy so we can be extra careful!

A little comfort for a spooky night ahead... Le Coprin mushroom & @rootsandshootsfarm leek congee w/ @juniper_farm cilantro.

Toban Slaw has been our nominee for best-supporting actor 7 years straight! Always backing up the bao with it's fresh and funky flavours, but never hogging the spotlight with its subtle sweetness. It's also a great opportunity to showcase some of the amazing local farms in our area. Check the tags to see who's supplying us - and eat your veggies!

New Soda Alert! Sichuan Cherry is a crushable soda pop made with Ontario cherries from our friends @warnersfarm. A hit of tartness from #extinctchemicalcompany Acid Phosphate and a numbing tingle from Sichuan peppercorns makes for a complex and delicious lil' treat!

Snack time! PepperSalt Popcorn Chicken is the Taiwanese street food classic that inspired our PepperSalt Chicken bao. Try the original Popcorn Chicken tonight as a snack, as a meal with a side of rice, or as a decadent side with your baos!

Jen's fav beverage on the menu right now is the Vermont Blond from @burdockbrewery Drink facts: lightly Citra hopped with some delicate malt sweetness and a fluffy feel. Extremely crushable! Jen facts: Jen can touch her nose with her tongue but you can't see cause everyone should #wearamask

Spiced Berkshire Pork bao with @perthpork, @juniper_farm red cabbage & "soynut" Happy Saturday! @cookingwithcake

Christine's favourite beverage on the menu is our lemon soda! Drink fact: lemon juice isn't the only thing making this soda sour! Lactart from the #extinctchemicalcompany is an amazing acidulant used in old timey pop shops. Christine fact: she is a pizza and noodle soup fanatic. Head over to @teafortwo.c to keep up with what Christine is snacking on!

Steph's fav beverage on the menu is the Dry Gin & Soda from @collectivedistilling Drink facts: Inside the can we've got crisp lemon and grapefruit, artisanal gin, and just enough lavender, thyme, and cardamom to get your floral senses tingling. Outside the can we've got bright and vibrant illustrations from Montreal's @maiafadd! Steph facts: They may have never met your dog but they love them very much. Please bring your pups to pick up your order whenever possible.... Boozy drinks are $2 off from 2pm-4pm! See more

Ok... the good news: We can safely get back to full steam for dinner service tonight @ 4pm!!! The challenging news: because we were waiting for test results until this morning, it's too late to do lunch service today. Not news: Tofu Belly bao & 'RachaTvp rice are the best #vegan treats! Come get some TONIGHT!!!

Closed again for Covid precautionary measures blablabla*. #fuckcovid #besafe *: Someone in my (Tarek's) bubble was experiencing relevant symptoms & went for testing, so I have to isolate until they get their results back. They're actually feeling fine now, so it's unlikely to be Covid19, but I'm still following OPH's guidelines for isolation. We were already short staffed for today, so me having to isolate was the last straw. Should be back at it by Wednesday, but we'll make sure to post an update here. Thank you all so much for your continued love & support. & again, all together now... #FUCKCOVID!

House Maple ChaSiu baozi available tonight! w/ heritage Berkshire Pork from @perthpork, marinated, roasted, glazed with @alska_farm maple syrup, chopped, sauced, hand-pleated into cute little buns, & steamed fresh today. Our humble take on the Cantonese classic.

Handcrafted steamed bun, aromatic braised beef brisket, house pickled lobok, cilantro, & crispies... we gotchu! Thank you @m_eats for the kind post & the tasty photo!

5Spice Chicken & stuff on NOW! Get it!

wok life balance. "spiced pork cube"

Spiced Pork Bao! Inspired by canned "spiced Pork cubes" (first encountered as an instant noodle topping at a cha chaan teng in Hong Kong), we slow-roast heritage Berkshire Pork shoulder, then finish it with classic Cantonese seasonings emulating the aforementioned tinned guilty pleasure. We serve it garnished with local red cabbage & crushed soy "nuts".

Red-Braised Tofu Gua Bao, w/ gai choy relish, cilantro & crushed soy"nuts". It's our #vegan take on the Taiwanese street food classic (&, yes, we do the original porkbelly as well)

Our Pepper-Salt Chicken bao is a confluence of two superstar Taiwanese street food dishes - Pepper-Salt Chicken (a.k.a. Popcorn Chicken) and Gua Bao (the classic folded steamed bun typically filled with braised pork belly, gaichoy, cilantro & peanuts, but fillings & garnishes vary widely). We try to keep any playful twists or combinations on our menu simple, so as to preserve the identity of the dishes we're representing & the integrity of the food cultures we're working with. Stay tuned for more disclosure & transparency on our approach & ongoing relationship with food culture appropriation.
