Tim Ho Wan's New Black Truffle Chicken Bao

Tim Ho Wan, the celebrated dim sum restaurant recognized by Michelin stars for its excellence in Hong Kong, has just announced a delectable addition to its menu for a limited winter period: the Black Truffle Chicken Bao. Known for its iconic dish, the Baked Char Siu Bao, this innovative creation marks a fusion of tradition and modernization that aims to delight food enthusiasts worldwide.

A Unique Flavor Experience

The Black Truffle Chicken Bao promises a luxurious experience with succulent chicken enveloped in a rich black truffle aroma. Each bao is expertly crafted, with the chicken filling beautifully encased in delicate dough and baked to perfection in the oven. Upon the first bite, guests will experience a satisfying crunch from the outer layer, followed by the sophisticated and earthy notes of the truffle that subtly compliment the savory chicken flavor. This fluffy and aromatic bao serves as an exquisite winter surprise, offering a taste of elegance and comfort.

The Classic Meets Innovation

In Japan, the much-anticipated launch includes a unique promotional twist. Diners can enjoy a Twins Plate, featuring both the classic Baked Char Siu Bao and the new Black Truffle Chicken Bao together. The Baked Char Siu Bao is a customer favorite, renowned for its tender and sweet-salty barbecued pork filling, enclosed in a perfectly baked crust reminiscent of a melon bun. This popular dish is a must-try, celebrated not just for its taste but also as a symbolic representation of Hong Kong's playful and innovative dim sum culture.

Exciting Promotional Offer for Twins!

To make the experience even more delightful, Tim Ho Wan will offer a special promotion during this period for twin visitors. Customers visiting the restaurant with their twins will receive a complimentary Twins Set, including one Black Truffle Chicken Bao and one Baked Char Siu Bao for every pair. It’s a fun opportunity to share and enjoy the innovative flavors of these two dishes together!
