Contribute Feedback What Baz Juan Pablo Sanchez likes about Cloud Thief:
I can understand some people scoring this place poorly based on that they’re not traditional but you need to sometimes let go and enjoy the ride. I think they’ve done a wonderful job of delivering a great range of Bao whilst not starting to far from the original View all feedback.
Cloud Thief (formerly Bao Stop) has opened up in World Square! Why is this such great news you ask? because Matt works at World Square and has been waiting patiently in anticipation for a long time now for their opening. Perhaps it's not a good thing because it's not cheap.. oh well!. We were lucky enough to be invited to the launch just prior to leaving on our honeymoon. It was the perfect excuse as well to test out the new camera so it made perfect sense. Besides.. Cloud Thief wants to serve us all you can eat bao, who in their right mind would refuse! Cloud Thief brings Taiwanese street food to a whole new level. It’s just a little bit fancy with bold flavours and amazing, amazing (yes, I had to repeat that) fillings.
The perfect stop for lunch tastes amazing. The restaurant is very clean service is good. I had the Pork Belly Bao (2 for $13), they were excellent a little too much coriander though.
I've heard they were stealing clouds so I've stormed in to investigate them. I've tried Classic Bao (Braised Beef Short Rib and Braised Pork Belly) and Braised Pork Belly Rice Bowl. I love pork belly. The buns were **** soft as expected and I loved the short rib bao. Pork belly was ok. The rice bowl was a bit of let down. It looked bland and tasted bland. Brown rice was too hard for my liking and mayo unfortunately killed the presentation of the dish. I give this place 3.5 bears.
Formerly known ‘BAO STOP’ has been taken and transformed into ‘CLOUD THIEF’ . Making their first re-appearance at the ‘Night Noodle Markets’ this year, they have certainly gained a following… I was promised succulent Peking duck fries, super soft Bao amazing flavour combinations! THEY DELIVERED!<br/ My favourite bao was the fried chicken..i mean.. am i right!?And i absolutely loved the way they have turned Brussels Sprouts into a delicious side dish! I recommend both of the above, and i also loved the braised pork belly bao which had great flavours! The peking duck fries are another gerat dish to order :)I wasn't a huge fan of the tofu bao but everything else was quite enjoyable.And to be honest the FLUFFIEST BAO I HAVE TRIED! (just like CLOUDS).Check out my full review!
Do you Bao? These delectable light fluffy pillows filled with delicious goodies are hard to resist. The Cloud Thief outlet in World Square gives Sydneysiders plenty of choices for their bao fixes and they seem to attract plenty of bao-fans. So what to choose. They all sounded so good. We started with Spicy Fried Chicken. This was a bao filled with Taiwanese spicy fried chicken, Asian slaw, shallot, sriracha sauce and spicy sriracha mayo. It was a great combination. The next one was Mongolian Lamb. The bao was filled with braised Mongolian lamb, roasted red capsicum, spring onions, XO mayo and cumin praline sprinkle. Another tasty one.
