26th May 2021



 

Here at Pokéloha, we are always looking for ways to maximize taste and highlight each and every deliciously exotic and locally sourced fresh ingredient we use, in exciting and healthy ways. We also strive to live up to our reputation as a local foodie trendsetter, by consistently perfecting and introducing new ideas, techniques and flavors, from all around the world.

This is exactly why, the ever-evolving Pokéloha menu, is once again, rolling out brand new additions, this time, harnessing the Bao Bun sensation that has recently surged in popularity across Europe.

A BUN in a Million Experience
The Bao Bun was completely unheard of outside of Asia up to a few years ago, but its history dates back to China’s Three Kingdoms period, around the 3rd Century. It originated from the coastal regions of the Fujian province and quickly became a prized delicacy throughout northern China.

Recently, it has become known in the West through the creative bravery of a few highly acclaimed chefs that understood the endless options this unique steamed bun offered. It’s fluffy pillowy texture and slightly sweet taste, makes it the perfect vehicle to accompany bold flavors, while its versatile shape makes it easy to hold and ever easier to love, delivering quick and satisfying bites that can be enjoyed at the table, or on the go.

Our BUNderful Menu Additions
At Pokéloha we now offer six new menu items, starring two carefully crafted bao buns each, steamed onsite and upon order, loaded with unique flavor combos that work for everyone.
