Ging Sun Ho King of Bun will open its first international outlet at Tampines Mall on 4 September 2024. The renowned Hong Kong eatery, known for its Shanghainese-style pan-fried pork soup buns, began as a modest 100-square-foot establishment in Mong Kok. The new outlet aims to bring its celebrated dishes to Singapore, offering a variety of signature items.
## Background
Ging Sun Ho King of Bun has gained significant recognition since its inception, particularly for its Shanghainese-style pan-fried pork soup buns. The eatery’s success in Hong Kong, where it started as a small outfit in Mong Kok, has led to its expansion. The brand’s popularity soared after being recognised by Michelin in 2016 as a must-try for street food in Hong Kong. This acclaim has allowed the eatery to open several branches across the city, including notable locations in Tsim Sha Tsui and Lyndhurst Terrace.
## Menu highlights
### Sichuan Dan Dan Noodles
Priced at S$11.20++, this dish features a nutty, creamy broth that complements the chewy noodles, offering a subtle kick of spice.
### Signature Pan-Fried Pork Soup Bun
At S$6.50++ for three pieces, these buns are filled with savoury pork, boasting a crispy golden base and topped with black and white sesame seeds and spring onions. Each bite delivers a burst of piping hot broth, so caution is advised.
