The humble steamed bun is taking Hong Kong's culinary scene by storm - and scooping up awards along the way.

May Chow, the owner of restaurant Little Bao, has just been voted Asia's best female chef by a panel of over 300 experts.

The 32-year-old's restaurant serves what she calls Chinese burgers: steamed white buns filled with braised pork belly, fried chicken or fish.

And there are even burgers for dessert, in the form of fried buns sandwiched with ice cream.

That does sound tasty.

The really good part is that soon enough we’ll start seeing it here in the US, but probably even betterized.

You can get fried chicken or fish.

A tasty twist on the classic American burger.

I've been to Hong Kong...and China.When there I always stick to Western-style food.Why? Because I've seen the Chinese countryside.

Quite an effective idea; she should take a bao.

a variation I am familiar with is the deep fried pork tenderloin sandwich. It's typically a Hoosier thing but I first tasted one at the Ono Loa Grill in Kona Hawaii. I got home and had to make them myself. so good. This is what we're talking about:

It's pretty easy to make and sooo good.

I’m not a fan of steamed white buns (no pun intended). I don’t like their texture or taste. Put that pork belly on a Whopper bun and you will have something.

WTF is a "Steamed Bun"?

Sounds rather soggy and unappetizing.
