What are bao buns?

But what exactly are bao buns?

Originating from Taiwan, these fluffy delights are a popular street food known for their light texture and delicious fillings. Traditionally served hot with roast pork, pickled cucumbers, coriander, and hoisin sauce, over the last few years they've become a popular dish among diners Down Under.

Now, thanks to Aldi, Aussies can enjoy the bao bun experience in the comfort of their own homes. Priced at $14.99, the Char Sui Pork Bao Bun kit comes complete with everything you need to whip up eight mouthwatering buns, including veggies, meat, sauces and accompaniments.

And it seems that once you've tried them, there's no turning back.

"So good and so quick and easy to make," attested one satisfied customer. "They've become a once a week meal in our house!"

Finding the Aldi bao buns in store

But like all good things, there's a catch: finding them. Despite their popularity, tracking down these coveted kits in Aldi stores can prove to be quite the challenge, with many shoppers reporting difficulties in locating them in their local Aldi's meat department.

"I've looked two weeks in a row and can't find them in freezer section or meat section. I looked everywhere as I so wanted to try them!" lamented one hopeful buyer.

Another chimed in, expressing similar difficulties: "I can never find these either."

For those in the West, the situation seems particularly dire. "If you're in WA, you're hot out of luck," confirmed one disappointed shopper. "We don't even get them," shared another Western Australian, "maybe your area is the same if you can never find them."

Nevertheless, for those lucky enough to snag a kit, the reward is well worth the effort. With rave reviews pouring in from satisfied customers, it's safe to say these bao buns have firmly secured their place as the latest must-have meal in Aussie kitchens.
