NEW Chicken BAO BUN KIT in ALDI Food Review

• Chicken

[@irishspongie1657]

Some cultural trivia for you (I'm ethnically Chinese): "bao" is "bun" (or the verb "wrap") in Cantonese, so Aldi is calling this a bun-bun kit; usually when we say bao we're referring to steamed buns that have the filling fully enclosed in dough (the most well known example being probably char siu bao, which contain sweet barbequed pork - if you can find any in an oriental supermarket, highly, highly recommended!).

[@BaldFoodieGuy]

Very good indeed 👍

[@will168]

I was literally coming on to say that bao means bun!

[@lindalewis7559]

I agree yummy 😋

[@zeusdeimos6845]

We do the the same with naan bread 😅

[@johnmalin1676]

It's the same when people call it the Sahara Desert. Sahara means desert in Arabic, so they are calling it the desert desert 😂😂

[@cazyaz523]

So I’m off to Aldi tmrw. That looked scrumptious. The texture of a bao bun looks dubious which is why I’ve never tried one. I will now thanks to you. Another great review Gareth x

[@BaldFoodieGuy]

Hope you enjoy

[@mikepursey495]

Not sure why but I seem to have become a bit obsessed with watching videos of a middle aged bald man eating stuff from Aldi.

[@BaldFoodieGuy]

Haha I will take that as a compliment 😄

[@debbieoneill2377]

Love bao buns definitely giving this a try. I’ve had ready made ones from Tesco before I think they were about a fiver each so this is good value. Thanks Gareth

[@BaldFoodieGuy]

You're welcome

[@michaelfeeney8437]

It’s amazing the amount of new product coming out of Aldi of late. The shopping experience at the local branch here has improved with the recent addition of ‘self scanners’. It sits at the edge of a new large housing estate so this Branch cleans up, with punters doing a large shop. So it is great to be able to breeze through with just a few items if you wish. Thanks for another interesting review.

[@BaldFoodieGuy]

Yes I can't keep up. Got lots in the last few days.

[@elvishards8161]

Self scanners are useless,my Aldi rattles customers through quickly and open tills as required if it gets busy in my experience,,,,,

[@michaelfeeney8437]

@@elvishards8161 The nuisance with ‘self scanners’ I find is when buying alcohol, and it has to be signed off as it were. Even though you are on Camera and it obvious you are over 18 ! Our Local Branch to be fair is also good at speeding punters through the tills, but for fewer items I personally find SS better.

[@Split10uk]

I love self-scanning checkouts, though I understand they are not for eveyone. Normally much less of a queue, and I don't get panicky. Out of the 5 Aldis near me, only one has self scan.

[@HantsLeo]

​@@replevideo6096 I agree, the price in the 'old' Aldi would have been £2-49

Sounds great!

[@sandradent65]

Another good review Gareth. I've never heard of those buns. They looked lovely. All of it did and it wasn't a bad price especially when you enjoyed it. As you said a load different to the other bun you had.

[@BaldFoodieGuy]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@glendadalejones3753]

*Spectacular New Aldi chicken Bao Bun Kit Bald Foodie Guy ,wow 🔥👌🙌👏🏻👏🏻* The Bao buns are gorgeous. One of the newer emerging Asian foods . This was exceptional,I will deffo be trying this product

Thank you 😊

[@garyfearon5637]

I had those buns with pulled pork from m&s on xmas night. I was kinda dreading them as i had never had them before and always thought they looked weired . Absolutely bangin they were . ✌✊

[@BaldFoodieGuy]

So good arnt they Gary

[@carleyyates3977]

Bought some bao buns from asda months ago and had them in the freezer,tried them recently,one was hoisin duck and I can't recall what the other flavour was,I steamed the buns as per instruction and the buns and meat were so soft I found that it defo needed the added edition of some crunchy veg,(was a very unusual texture id not come across before)so we had it with some shredded onion,white cabbage and lettuce and a drizzle of sriracha,it was a game changer! 👍 they weren't cheap mind,at the time I think they were 3.99 per box of 6.but was good to try something new.😊

[@BaldFoodieGuy]

Thank you Carley.

[@DavidWardle]

I love Bao buns, I'm going to have to see if my local ALDI have them in, I have a feeling they will be something I like. Thanks for this one

I spotted those in Aldi last week. Cheers for the review!

[@shox_1234]

Just had a box of the Hosin flavour👌🏾I brought both flavours probably have the other one on the weekend

[@foxymc01]

I've just bought the hoisin chicken one. Kept them in the fridge the day beforehand , i added some mushrooms that needed eating . I rarely eat meat these day's, only because i can't stand looking at uncooked meat any more. And probably more soya in the chicken than chicken. Was something different. Seemed like a different duck and pancakes recipe. Gonna put some more housin sauce on it . 😋

[@robertgibson7716]

looked great mate not like yesterdays offering lol keep em coming

[@BaldFoodieGuy]

Thanks 👍 cheers Robert. 👍

[@crashq8784]

I'm going to Aldi tomorrow - sadly it probably won't be available here but, fingers crossed. That looks like a decent feed and tasty too - bonus. Love the review, made me hungry!

[@peterclarke3300]

Great review Gaz after yesterday we needed a good one they look delicious I think a chopped up chilli would work well with those and you could use a plate for a lid for the frying pan 😉 definitely one to try nice work as always 👏👏👍👍

[@BaldFoodieGuy]

Cheers Peter all the best pal.

[@saraj1955]

Lidl and Aldi often sell a "lid" for a pan during their socials kitchen week. I've had mainly silicon one, a glass and silicon and a metal one. All have handles. If you've a space frying pan you can use that as a lid, again has a handle. A plate has no handle and you could easily have a steam burn - no a great addition to any meal. Getting a vent in the lid to reduce the steam is a good idea. (Home and static caravan so usually need 2+ of kit/gadgets.)

[@peterclarke3300]

@@saraj1955 a useful thing with using a plate is that it warms it at the same time which is a money saving tip at the same time 👍

[@alex.9333]

Hey Gareth great review!Do these come frozen or fresh in the fridges thanks.

[@BaldFoodieGuy]

Frozen

[@irenedombryant2023]

Have made this from scratch, instead of chicken used jack fruit. The thing that took the longest to make was the buns as used dumpling flour. Got to say after buying and trying Itsu's ready meal version of a bun, making it from scratch was a 100% improvement.

[@andrewcoates6641]

I might try these but I will have to change the added ingredients, as I can’t digest onions and I hate the taste of coriander so I’m thinking about using cucumber and carrots with parsley or basil instead, or maybe to stick with the oriental vibe some bean sprouts and bok choi leaves with some strips of red pepper. The best thing about them is that you can add whatever you like.

[@BaldFoodieGuy]

Hope you enjoy pal

[@chucksneedmoreland]

of all the aldis and iceland products which one would you say provides the best for the money?

[@misticman]

These look yummy, I bet some garlic mayo and some chili sauce would be nice with these.

Just had this to day on the back of this upload, I was a bit dubious about the chicken but it was all very nice.I had it with gunpowder potatoes which were very hot but morish my mouth was on fire after them I think I will give them a miss next time but the bao buns I will definitely buy again.

I just love bao steamed buns i buy mine from Wagamama two fluffy asian buns filled with korean barbecue beef. red onion. asian slaw. sriracha vegan mayonnaise. But they are getting expensive and made even smaller like most things now. I top it off with their white chocolate + ginger cheesecake (v) with toffee + ginger sauce. To die for.That is my meal treat lol. May be i will try these because every time you go to order food the price is up a pound. Id like to know when prices will stop riseing youed think all the food is coming from Mars and we are paying for the rocket full lol its getting ridiculous.

I know I'm addicted to Gareth's channel when he misses a days review 👎👎. So to make up for it, I go through my freezer and cupboards checking if my items have "tab systems" and "easy film peeling 🥴🥴😵😵. A review I'd like to see is the ASDA extra special burgers. I think they're priced around £3.75. But they claim a lot. 81% beef, bone marrow infused, no artificial colouring or flavouring. They do a few different types from Aberdeen Angus to a fancy mixture of cheese and other stuff. The one I wanted to try was the extra special red onion burger. But after a tiring walk to ASDA they were out of stock. Now does that mean they are tasty and sell out quick? Or does it mean their rubbish and don't order too many? I know Gareth loves red onion, so I thought this would be a great review. 😇😇.
