Baozi (or stuffed steamed buns) are everywhere in China. They are about as iconic as the noodle. In Chengdu, arguably the best baozi can be found at Han Baozi. They’ve been making steamed buns since 1914, and the city has even dubbed them a ‘famous snack of Chengdu’. I tried 6 different kinds (I think the location I went to had a total of 7 options though). I found them to be awesomely delicious - as I do for most steamed buns in China. Are they better than some of the other restaurants and food stalls that I’ve tried? Well, there are certainly more options - my favourite being the BBQ pork, which is sometimes difficult to find in Chengdu. Han’s steamed buns are juicier, the pork seems to be of better quality, and the flavours are more complex.

HOW TO GET HAN BAOZI IN CHENGDU
With multiple locations across the city, Han Baozi isn’t that difficult to find. I went to the smallest location, but also the most central (http://ditu.amap.com/place/B0FFF9UNAD).
In Chinese, the characters are 包子 , but that will only get you so far.

In this series, I am eating my way through a deck of cards. I bought a deck of food themed playing cards that feature a different Sichuan dish on every card. Every week, I'll shuffle the deck and pick one random card to hunt down and sample.
