O-Bun

Focusing on Gua Bao (or steamed buns for the uninitiated…), O-Bun is a little shop in side the Pran Central food court.

The “Bao” is a popular snack from the streets of Taiwan. A ‘Taiwanese taco’ if you will, the Bao is a soft and pillowy bun folded in half then steamed and filled with an assortment of ingredients.

Traditionally filled with braised pork belly, pickled mustard and crushed peanuts, O-Bun are bringing their own adventurous and delicious twist on the humble Bao.

The menu is kept small but packs a punch with a range of fillings.  The gourmet fillings draw from the gua bao's Taiwanese background and boasts a myriad of Asian flavours.  

The Bulgogi and kimchi was our favourite bao, featuring tender bulgogi beef and heady kimchi. We loved the tried and true flavour combinations against the pillow soft buns.

The Tofu Bao was also very enjoyable - think battered tofu with a crunchy exterior and gooey soft interior.  It was a delightful vegetarian bao.

Offering a fast and flavoursome eating experience at an affordable price, O-Bun has a little something for everyone.
