🍞 Bao Platter of 6
📍Ju Hua Tai (@juhuataisg)
📌 9 Duxton Hill
💰 $50++
One of the most beautiful bao platters my undeserving eyes have ever graced. Each bao comes in either a steamed or fried bun and contains a different kind of protein.
🍗 Crispy Chicken Bao
The fried chicken is pretty thick but a little on the tougher side, however I loved the lao gan ma mayo that it came slathered in.
💛 Grilled Eel Bao
Comes with salted egg sauce, I’m not a fan of eel but actually liked this quite a lot. The eel meat was tender and a little mushy while the salted egg was a nice balance of sweet and savoury.
🦀 Soft Shell Crab Bao
Batter on the soft shell crab was really tough, but the general flavours were really nice. The curry sauce was really aromatic and good.
🐚 Scallop Bao
Unfortunately this was extremely tough, the batter was super hard and the scallop was pretty small. However, I really liked the addition of the tobiko, which gave it a bit of a juicy pop.
🍖 Pork Belly Bao
Sooo good, the tender pork pairs perfectly with the crispy fried bun. The lao gan ma mayo and caramelised onions gave the whole bun a robust flavour.
🥩 Beef Rendang Bao
The beef rendang was flavourful and aromatic while the meat was tender. Also, the pickled cabbage added some crunch. Really good!
The buns are also available a la carte, personally found that some buns were definitely better than others but overall not bad!
the ju hua tai cocktail is lit af and definitely suitable if you have a sweet tooth. the jelly on top is really tangy and sweet too. we also ordered the pandan cocktail which was part of the special one-off menu and it was really good, since the pairing of the cake and cocktail goes really well. Music is great too.

- Szechuan Spicy Dumpling “Chao Shou”🥟
- Bao Platter of 6🍔
- Lamb Skewers🍖
- Chicken Skewers🍗
- Chrysanthemum’s Secret🌼
- Meeting across the Milky Way🥃

Must order the spicy dumplings and xiao su rou! Spicy dumplings quite springy, with a hint of spicy oil, nice~ Xiao Su Rou was crispy and goes well with alcohol!
Not a fan of cumin powder, feel can skip the lamb and chicken skewers…
We had the crispy chicken bao, soft shell crab bao & scallop bao platter of 6, would recommend the crispy chicken ones, the soft shell crab and scallop ones so-so, the sauce not that distinct, pretty normal…
Yusheng was nice but quite pricey, CP ratio not so gd that is…
Overall, not bad a place to drink and chill with friends~
