Rou Bao (肉包) Steamed Pork Bun





Rou bao (肉包) (pinyin with tones: ròu bāo), steamed pork bun, is a family of bao zi (包子). It is stuffed with soy-sauce-flavored ground pork, sometimes also with chopped green onions. Rou bao is also a common breakfast you can find in traditional breakfast shops, markets, and some bao zi shops. It is also a good choice of afternoon snacks since it contains protein and carbohydrate, which provides you energy, and less oil because it is steamed not fried.

「以前國小上學肚子餓的時候，下課時間都會跑到一樓合作社買包子，包子一個10塊錢，很小一個，有肉包或筍包口味。現在合作社不知道還有沒有賣這種包子？也許是因為來回爬了好幾層樓梯才讓包子更珍貴也更美味。」——Mosa 想當年

Hi, I’m Mosa. This name is taken from the latter words of Formosa, the former name of Taiwan in 16th century which means “beautiful island.” Indeed, Taiwan does have ravishing natural landscapes and diverse cultures worth exploring. However, there is no much access for foreigners to learn more about Taiwanese culture in English. Here in TAIWANBOW. 臺灣飽典 I started by introducing Taiwanese food to arouse people’s attention to Taiwan since Taiwan has been voted as the country with the best food*. I hope that through this website I can make some contribution to Taiwan, where I was born and grew up.
