Bao in Madrid

One day recently, I got a lunch of bao with L & H. We had been out for a while, and technically the lunch places were closing down, but we found this one restaurant in Chueca that looked decent and a little fusion-ey (called Baocata--a play on the Spanish word for sandwich and the Chinese concept of bao, which is a tiny sandwich in steamed bread).

I ordered two bao, one called the Alfred and another called Baorizona Baby. They were both delicious. The Alfred has duck confit and the pickled onions (and it was my favorite because of the pickled onions), and the Baorizona Baby bao had a sort of pulled pork and fried onions.


L & H appreciated the wide variety of hot sauce that the restaurant provided. Hot sauce is a precious commodity here in Spain, given that the food is rarely spicy whatsoever.


There were also chicken wings and patatas braves (french fries with a mildly spicy sauce). It was a good place and I'd definitely go back, if only for the Alfred.
