Fat Bao

Although the "fat" might logically refer to the pudgy little steamed buns these Chinese sandwiches are folded into, it also might reasonably apply to the clientele after one too many servings of planko-fried avocado. Fat Bao's Chinese fusion is counter-service casual at its finest: baskets of curry-dusted roast cauliflower, pork belly and tofu baos and bottles of Topo Chico have a distinctly Houston feel when served together. Have a hankering for something sweet? Dessert baos are a twist on the savory version with puffy, fried breading and fillings like banana and Nutella or s'mores. Right on the moneycat.
