Not quite the crossover you’d expect.

Alain and Doug Ai & Om met at 19. The eating and drinking followed. Growing up in Toronto, Jamaican food was a shared favourite, with Doug's Jamaican family roots making that connection all the more personal. Plenty of meals, late nights, and maybe a few stories we shouldn't ask about.

And the relationship runs deeper. Chinese and Jamaican cooking have been crossing paths for generations, dating back to the arrival of Chinese communities in Jamaica in the 1800s. The two are bringing that history, and a few personal favourites, into the Bao Bei kitchen.

Monday, October 19. 5:30PM — sold out.

Guest-chef specials alongside a selection of Bao Bei signatures, all à la carte. Beverages sponsored by The Beverage Collective.

Reservations are open through the link in our bio.

On October 5, our friend Macià Bagur Gomila of Meo makes the short trip over to Bao Bei for the first of our Collab Dinners.

The idea is simple. We invite chefs we admire into our kitchen and let them cook Bao Bei their way. Macià brings his Spanish and Korean family roots to the table, which is how chorizo ends up in a steam bun. It’s very good. We checked. Several times.

His dishes will be served à la carte alongside seven Bao Bei favourites.

From 5:30PM until sold out. No tickets required. Reservations through the link in bio.

Macià goes first. More guests to come.

Negroni Week at Bao Bei.

We’re joining in with a few takes of our own.

Bitter, bright, boozy, maybe a little unexpected. The bar has been playing with the classic for the occasion, and they’ve given us a few good reasons to order another.

Seven days. See how many reasons you find

Every legend has a few versions. So do ours.

One legend traces mantou back some 1,800 years to Zhuge Liang, the famed strategist of the Three Kingdoms period. As the story goes, somewhere along a military campaign, necessity called for an offering, and steamed buns shaped in place of human heads became the answer.

The history gets a little hazy from there. The bun, thankfully, stuck around.

Ours have had a few lives of their own. Different fillings, different forms, different years at Bao Bei. We went digging through the archives to see just how much has changed.

Legend has it, they found a home on Keefer Street.
