it has closed down island wide.
opened its first flag shop near club street after doing some road
shows. apparently great response from road shows. long queues and
many people were buying it. the few shops they had were crowded all
the times. lots of publicity too. many people thought of starting
similiar since the preparation and serving is simple and cheap
ingredients. survived for about three years. the very last stall
was in CK Tangs basement.
nice concept but expensive and not filling. unlike in chinese
restaurants where they served pork belly in similiar buns, the
atmosphere and feeling when consuming it just felt worth it to pay
more. even coffee shops sell it slightly cheaper but it just feels
good eating from the plastic bag.
several times, i find their meat too tough. it could probably due
to constant cooking over the hot plate that caused the meat to lose
its moisture and tenderness. the plastic containers they used to
pack, is not suitable. the sauce tends to leak all over the plastci
bag by the time you reach home. its too small too even though it
fits just right. should have allow room for vapour.
another company tried to jump on the bandwagon and sold something
similiar, named 'Bao-er' was located in Scotts Pinic Food Court and
some other places. it didnt do that good and closed down after a
year.
