Cherry Garden, Mandarin Oriental Hotel, Singapore.
Rating: 4.5/5
Being someone who doesn't agree with butchering high-end ingredients such as Wagyu or Kobe Beef sliders, or Hokkaido Crab tempura (yes, Nobu, that's you), this little pillowy bao has turned me around slightly. Due to the quality of the pork, the characteristic umami sweetness of this sauce was applied conservatively, allowing the character of the meat to come forward. Its texture is also excellent, having more bite and body than the chewiness we get with a cheaper, fattier type of meat. The approachable 2.5in diameter size also contains a favorable filling-to-bun ratio, so be ready to pop a few.
