Review of Baojaam the restaurant

As my influence in the crazy budget drinking field (sponsored by LIVIKO) is over, I'm desperately trying to find new input for this Circus blog. Fashion? Who am I kidding? Now I will try with food. 

Welcome to eat-pray-love Wilma edition.

Baojaam in Balti Jaam is my favourite fast food (yes, I am an adult and I have money, so bye bye Happy Meal). Praise the food lord, since Baojaam opened its restaurant version in the Old Town at the premises of Sinilind. NB! It's not a food chain, so be ready to experience something completely different.

I got to try everything on the menu, until I wa so full that I wanted to vomit. Free food made me a bit greedy, but tummy was full of yummy.

Here comes a little review.

I am a tea freak, so I gave feedback about the limited variety of tea selection and no possibility to order it in the teapot. On the other hand, Fred got to taste salty Old Fashioned cocktail, which is not yet on the menu. He died and went to heaven:

We ordered all the baos and all the light snacks!

Order everything or go home:

The moment when I try to process the food and 

guess the flavours that are tickling my sense of taste

(I am having food orgasm):

Let's move from top to bottom:

• Classic kimchi with coriander and onion 3 € – 

pretty straight forward. Fred loved it, but I like my Kim Chi in drag (I'm just not a kimchi girl). 

(Fred 3rd place, Wilma 4th place)

•  Pak Choy & broccoli with spicy nuts and miso 3,30 € – 

the greens tasted like candy and nuts made it nuts! 

(Fred 1st place; Wilma 3rd place)

•  Fermented carrot, mushrooms, cucumber and white radish (?) 3 € – 

in my opinion cucumber is pretty pointless vegetable, but if you can make it taste like that (!), 

then it gains the highest value.

(Fred 2nd place; Wilma 2nd place)

•  Wakame carrot salad with goma, sesame and kale 3,30 € – 

wakame always makes me come three times, 

but now it had chilli and amazing flavour to support it and I died. 

(Fred 4th place, Wilma 1st place):

We ordered all the baos, so we received one of each 

(NB! In Balti Jaam 1 serving = 2 baos. In Müürivahe 1 serving = 1 bao)

• Chicken bao 4,40 € – 

it had a big delicious chunk of crispy chicken, very classical and juicy. 

(Fred 2nd place, Wilma 5th place)

•  Octopus bao 6,50 € – 

forget about that rubbery octopus taste in the past, THIS is how it should really taste. 

(Fred 4th place; Wilma 3rd place)

•  Vegan bao with spring roll and cantarelle 4 € (pictured) – 

I would really like to order that spring roll separately, because that was yummy. 

One bao without mushrooms is also needed, since there's so many mushroom haters out there. 

(Fred 6th place; Wilma 4th place)

•  Shrimp bao 5,50 € (pictured) – 

absolute favourite for both of us. I love my shrimp big and in crispy dough. 

(Fred 1st place, Wilma 1st place)

•  Beef bao 4,90 € – 

yes, I eat meat and I love it shredded. Pretty straight forward taste with no extra fuss. 

(Fred 5th place, Wilma 2nd place)

•  Pork bao 4,40 € – 

that pork slice is massive. When I was younger and sliced myself such a big chunk

then my granny got really mad and said that "We aren't that rich". Look at my rich ass now!  

(Fred 3rd place, Wilma 6th place)

There's also ramen and two other main dishes, but we were too full to order those

(NB! the menu is about to change):

Damn, forgot about the dessert!:

Coconut ice cream, ginger sorbet and Yuzu cheesecake

aka

Bounty-licious, ginger refreshment after spicy food trip and Golden Girl favourite dish: 

Thank you Marleen & Mihkel for having us!

The greatest gift of love is good food:

Memmede suvetuur 2019. Again in Mustvee.

We have an annual tradition (we have done it twice now, okay) where we wave our boyfriends and babies goodbye and take our female selves to Mustvee. Why Mustvee? But why not?! It's the hidden gem of "Relax to the max" towns.

This time was extra special, since G had her first night away from her newborn baby aka the adorable new reason to be awake during early hours. So we made it count!

New car, old friends and adventurous Google maps:

Yes, this tractor is our trademark (last year, same pink):

My friend Pärna drove by this tractor once and was wondering why it looked so familiar?

That's because Memmede Suvetuur made it famous!:

Why we are badass? Because we can bleed a week straight without dying.

WIN!:

MENstruation, MENtal breakdown.

It all starts with men:

The moment I made a comment about Fred's penis:

33°C and butt crack full of sweat:

My milkshake brings all the cows the yard:

"Let's take a look at the city skanks, MOO":

That moment when you are suspicious...

...but you still want to put it in your mouth:

Hello, modelling agency.

Here is my selfie that got 0 likes, please hire me:

Looking closely if boyfriend vacuumed like she asked him to do:

Unemployed, barren and nightmare labor –

and more emotional baggage than should be allowed makes friendship tighter:

MINU KODUMAA! NII ILUS VÄ?!

Downfall is always easier than climbing up the stairs:

Cancel all our responsibilities,

because we have arrived to Mustvee:

There are no wounds Säästukaart can't fix:

Konsum has been upgraded to COOP,

oh the changes!:

Three girls with different flavour add up a delicious dish:

"OH DŽEISUS! Let the saw be easy on the boyfriends.":

Hands up, if you want to try catheter out,

so you don't even have to stand up to pee:

The pretty Instagram content:

The flabby reality:

Kalameestemaja eleganza extravaganza:

The drinks were warm yet glamorous:

Cheers for the hottest day during this summer:

Non-alcoholic rebels:

We support from each side:

Yes, gingers have more fun!

Sometimes two glasses are not enough:

Four ladies and a boat:

One can endlessly watch at burning wood, flowing water and working humans:

The boat crew tries to find their own champagne:

PMS = Prepare to Meet Satan:

Yes, I just had to put 100 picture of us in the water,

since we all wanted to see the saga of fishermen:

Kalameestemaja 10 out of 10 points:

When you have stayed up past AK time:

Shrek found his Fiona:

And they had cute green baby:

Our pores and conscience are clean:

The night was sweaty, but this bad boy gave us some breeze:

A little Nussica before we go-go:

Laena lõikelauda, Vanemuine (yes, all our boyfriends got a chopping board as a souvenir):

Next year is already marked in the calendars.
