YUM BUN

Award-winning Yum Bun serves handmade dumplings and fluffy buns known as gua bao in their native Taiwan. These are steamed, split and filled to order with higher welfare British pork, chicken and sustainable fish, and local seasonal veg. The playful menu takes inspiration from founder Lisa Meyer's Japanese upbringing and travels around east Asia. "The crispy fish and green chilli sambal bun has featured on our menu during the summer months since 2015," says Lisa. "We make limited amounts of this zingy fresh sambal and it always feels like sunshine in a bun to me." Find Yum Bun at The Kitchens in Old Spitalfields Market and Kerb Seven Dials Market. @yum_bun
