Bao buns – those fluffy, cloud-like morsels originating from the bustling streets of Asia – have now made a remarkable journey into the heart of modern culinary trends, particularly in the realm of vegan meal delivery.
The Humble Beginnings
Traditionally, bao buns, or 'baozi', have been a staple in Asian street food. Originating from China, they have delighted food enthusiasts with their soft texture and versatile fillings.
Initially filled with a variety of meats and vegetables, bao buns have been a reflection of local flavours and culinary practices.
Veganism Meets Tradition
The rise of veganism brought with it a challenge: how to adapt traditional dishes while staying true to their essence? This is where the evolution of the bao bun began.
Vegan bao buns emerged as a creative solution, offering the same delightful experience without any animal products. Stuffed with ingredients like spicy tofu, jackfruit, or mixed vegetables, they have become a symbol of how vegan cuisine can be both innovative and respectful of culinary traditions.
Bao Buns Enter the Meal Delivery Scene
Amidst this culinary backdrop, Pamela, the founder of Pam Pam, brought her own unique flair to this classic dish. Born in Thailand and later moving to Sydney, Australia, Pamela grew up in an entrepreneurial family, witnessing firsthand the challenges and triumphs of business life. This experience, combined with her deep-rooted passion for food and her Thai heritage, laid the foundation for Pam Pam in 2017.
Starting modestly, Pamela first sold and delivered plant-based steamed buns to friends and customers' homes, gradually expanding to local markets. The positive response was overwhelming, and within two years, Pamela took the bold step of renting a premise and setting up a dedicated factory.
Customer Experiences: A New Way to Dine
