New In Town: Bao Bun

It’s a-bao time Chinese street food arrived in Reykjavík. Parked outside Skúli Craft Bar, the Bao Bun food truck offers steamed buns filled with not-so traditional fillings like fried fish, portobello mushrooms, beef strips or pulled pork with Korean kimchi. You can try two for 1500 ISK, served with sweet potato fries and sriracha dipping sauce. It’s a good shout for anyone who can’t stomach yet another Icelandic hot dog before a night out.
