This Leeds bar is serving pigs in blankets bao buns

If you needed any more excuses to get yourself a never-seen-before festive treat, this is it.

Little Bao Boys are really treating us to a three course Christmas dinner this year, but of course, it wouldn’t be from the resident chefs if the entire menu wasn’t based around their locally renowned bao bun.

On the menu, you’ll also find a savoury rendition of everyone’s favourite Christmas dinner dish: pigs in blankets.

The Pigs in Blanket Bao is a combination of your usual, fluffy bao bun encasing two pigs in blankets and topped with Sriracha sauce and tiny spring onion pieces.

If you have any more room for dessert, you can get a deep fried mince pie bao bun, potentially inspired by the company’s recent collaborations with sweet-treat experts Doh’hut.

Their successful collaboration of selling a Miso Caramel Cheesecake with miso glaze with a sesame snap and Hoisin Pulled Pork Toastie with spring onion and mild cheddar on Doh’hut milk loaf with sesame and garlic butter crust, only finished recently and was replaced by the mince pie baos.

The bao bun is deep fried and tossed in sugar before the middle is crammed with mince pie filling to give it a crunchy, yet still chewy, texture.

Usually, Little Bao Boys specialise in savoury dishes, serving their bao buns in pairs and stuffed with the likes of slow cooked pulled pork shoulder in Chinese five spice and crispy deep fried tofu in togarashi mix: both irresistible combinations, but recently the eatery have been tempting diners with this new, diverse range of flavours and it appears nobody is complaining at the experiment.

To wash all your baos down, grab a glass of mulled cider or choose from the endless ales from the taps at either Little Bao Boy locations.

The Little Bao Boy Christmas menu is only available on weekends from Springwell but everyday whilst stock lasts at North Brew, so make sure that you find the time in advance to go down to either location before the festive period comes to a close.
