A Bite-Sized Legacy
Pork buns (also called baozi) have a rich cultural history across Asia. At Kampung, they reflect our dedication to authenticity with a Malaysian twist.
Chef Mary’s recipe is closely guarded—a blend of traditional spice, texture, and technique learned from her mother. These buns are more than food—they’re culinary heritage you can hold in your hand.
Fried vs. Steamed – What’s the Difference?
🥟 Fried Pork Buns
Golden brown with a crunchy base, chewy top, and a juicy pork center. These are pan-seared to perfection and have a satisfying crisp with every bite.
Best for:When you want something savory and hearty, almost like a dumpling-meets-sandwich hybrid.
🥟 Steamed Pork Buns
Soft, warm, and fluffy on the outside with a tender pork filling inside. Steaming preserves the bun’s delicate texture and makes it melt-in-your-mouth delicious.
Best for:When you crave something light but filling, or prefer a classic dim sum experience.
Not Just Popular—They’re Famous
We don’t just sell these buns in Duluth. We recently shipped 1,000 pork buns to a discreet client in Tennessee. Why?
Because when you bite into one, you’ll understand. Our pork buns are made with care and demand, and they travel well.
The Secret Is in the Filling
Our pork is:
Marinated overnight in house sauces
Lightly sweet, deeply savory, with hints of soy, garlic, and sesame
Chopped and mixed for the perfect meaty texture
Wrapped in freshly kneaded dough and sealed with care, each bun is a compact bundle of joy.
Pair Your Buns With…
Warm Soy Milk – a creamy, nutty balance to the savory richness
Spring Rolls or Dumplings – perfect for sharing
Chive Pockets – veggie-packed and crispy
Thai Iced Tea – for a little sweet contrast
