Tim Ho Wan Extends Sales of Black Truffle Chicken Bao Until March 31st, 2026

The much-acclaimed dim sum restaurant, Tim Ho Wan, famous for its Michelin-starred dishes, is extending the sales period of its highly requested Black Truffle Chicken Bao until March 31st, 2026. This limited seasonal item combines the classic flavors that Tim Ho Wan is known for with innovative culinary twists, making it a standout choice this winter.

A Fusion of Tradition and Innovation

Tim Ho Wan, which has gained popularity worldwide, especially in Hong Kong, is well-known for its baked char siu bao, often referred to as “char siu melon bun.” The new Black Truffle Chicken Bao introduces a luxurious experience with juicy chicken stuffed inside a flaky bao, generously infused with the rich aroma of black truffles. Upon the first bite, diners are greeted by a delightful crunch from the outer skin followed by the deep, refined scents of truffle, complemented by the savory flavors of chicken that lingers pleasantly.

The bao is baked to perfection, boasting a light yet crisp exterior with a fluffy inside, creating an indulgent dining experience branded around its exclusive “black surprise.” This unique dish is crafted to bring an array of culinary excitement, offering diners the chance to indulge in both classic and inventive tastes.

The Twins Experience: Two for One Offer

For those craving a combination of flavors, Tim Ho Wan appeals with their “Twins Style” offering. Diners can enjoy a plate that includes both the classic baked char siu bao and the newly introduced Black Truffle Chicken Bao, allowing for a colorful and tasty exploration of these diametrically opposed flavors — the black of the truffle bao and the white of the char siu bao. The interplay symbolizes the playful essence of Hong Kong’s dim sum culture, reflecting its rich history while embracing new culinary creativity.

To add to the excitement, Tim Ho Wan has initiated a limited-time promotion for twin guests. Those who dine at any Tim Ho Wan location as twins will receive a complimentary Twins Set dish, which includes both the Black Truffle Chicken Bao and the iconic Baked Char Siu Bao. This initiative encourages friendship and fun among twins, inviting them to experience the unique black and white dim sum journey together.
