A Passion for Pork Buns, Personified

One of many passions that is shared among my family and friends is an undying love for pork buns. I'm Taiwanese, what do you expect? We take this shit seriously, ya'll. My dear friend Patty is currently blowing shit up with her ode to buns as BaO, a play on Korean pop star BoA. For those unaware, the word "bao" is Chinese for "bun", and Patty's almost shot-for-shot spoof of BoA's music video for her hit "Eat You Up" is simply brilliant.

Naturally I have favoritism toward this project as I consider Patty as a sister, not to mention my brother Ted produced the track for the video. In all seriousness, I know this was a labor of love for her, and I truly couldn't be prouder.

Where, where, where can one go for an edible bao in Portland??? I've given up, but maybe you know? (Jade has a decent if totally non-traditional one....)

dds: Honestly, I really don't know! I rarely eat out for Chinese food in Portland. Wong's King does them okay, the few times I've been there, but I have a suspicion they're using quality frozen pork buns that you can probably buy at Fubonn. I'd love to know too! Especially for soup dumplings.
