Sheng Jian Bao - pan fried pork buns

We are Aunt Dordordor, an independent artisan food producer specializing in handmade Sheng Jian Bao (Pan-Fried Pork Buns). We moved to Edinburgh from Hong Kong in 2021 and have just launched our small business making authentic homemade Sheng Jian Bao. Originally a century-old Shanghai heritage street food (since the 1920s), these buns are now a staple in Hong Kong’s popular street food scene. We’re excited to bring this authentic craft to Edinburgh. We focus on one thing and do it perfectly—handmade buns with a fluffy top, crispy golden base, filled with pork and rich savory soup inside. We use traditional Hong Kong methods to recreate the authentic "street-side" experience. We sizzle our buns on-site, adding a fantastic aroma and visual appeal.

More about Craigmillar

City of Edinburgh, Scotland

Craigmillar sits right on the edge of Edinburgh, offering a quiet corner where you can catch a local performance without fighting for parking in the city centre. It is that perfect spot to wind down after work or take the kids somewhere green before dinner. With no big venues listed yet, we keep an eye out for pop-up markets and community gatherings that might just be setting up shop nearby soon. Keep checking back as things grow, because this neighbourhood has a way of surprising you when you least expect it.
