[2025 Bangkok Restaurant] Travel Guide for กู่ หลง เปา ซาลาเปาโบราณ (สาขาทรงวาด Song Wat branch) Gu Long Bao Artisan Bun Shop 古笼包 包子店 (Updated Jun)

Walking on the streets of Bangkok, I was attracted by the delicious smell of buns from a distance before I even saw the store. The aroma was so strong that I couldn't help but quicken my pace and walked to the door of this super popular Guluobao shop. As expected, I was not disappointed! The store is filled with steaming steamers, and the most soothing scene is when several Thai staff members are concentrating on making handmade buns. Everyone is so professional and skillful that I can't take my eyes off them. There is also a very cute mural outside the store. The style of the painting is playful and a bit nostalgic, which matches the overall atmosphere very well. In addition to eating, people can't help but want to take photos and check in. If you come to Bangkok, don’t miss this old-school and charming bun shop!

#GetDiscountsWithoutLuck #GayInTheKitchen Today, we will take you to eat steamed buns that have been passed down from generation to generation at the shop “Gu Long Bao Artisan Bun Shop 古笼包” or “Gu Long Bao Ancient Steamed Buns” at the Song Wat branch. Let me tell you, if you walk around this area and don’t stop by, it’s a huge mistake! 🍞💨✨ ⸻ 🥢 Gu Long Bao Song Wat — Steamed buns that are not just soft dough, but are the soul of the tea route! Hello, Mom! The other day, I stopped by the old town of Song Wat with my food-loving friend who knows me. She dragged me to Gu Long Bao with a serious face that said, “You, this steamed bun shop is a cultural heritage passed down through the mouth.” I was like, what the heck… but oh well, let’s try it — and Mom!! She screamed with the word “delicious!” Not because it was spicy, but because it was… Good for real, no kidding 🤤🔥 🥮 The origin of “Gu Long Bao” that didn’t come easy This shop was started by a Chinese family who intended to continue the recipe for “ancient Chinese bao” that emphasizes soft, fluffy dough, fragrant without having to add flavoring, and stuffed with fillings in every piece! The name “Gu Long Bao” literally translates to “ancient buns in bamboo cages,” which refers to the traditional steamer for steaming buns. The shop emphasizes meticulousness in both the dough making process, fermentation, and steaming process, which takes time and is like a slow bar in the bao industry. 😌🍃 ⸻ 📍A location that is good for the heart, easy to walk around and take fun photos The shop is located in Song Wat, an old neighborhood that hipsters, art lovers, and foodies must check in to. Those who walk from Yaowarat to Khlong Ong Ang will find it very easy to pass by. 🕘 Opening-Closing Time: Open every day from 10:00 - 18:00. (Recommended to come at noon because some items sell out very quickly) 📍 Location: Click to see Google Maps here. 🚶♀️ Getting there: • MRT Wat Mangkon Station and walk for about 10 minutes. • Or you can take a taxi/tuk-tuk. It has another kind of charm. 🚗 Parking: It's a bit difficult to find parking in this area. We recommend parking at Leng Noei Yi Temple and walking a little. It's also very chic. ⸻ 🍽️ The bun menu that we highly recommend 1. Chashu Pork Bun — This is the highlight! Japanese-style stewed pork that melts in your mouth. The rich flavor contrasts with the soft dough. It's really good. 2. Minced Pork and Salted Egg Bun — Juicy minced pork filling with tempting salted egg. Salty, rich, and smooth, mom. 3. Mixed vegetable buns — For health-conscious people, the flavor is light but fragrant with sesame. Eat it and feel good without feeling guilty. 4. Red bean buns — Not too sweet, sweet and smooth like a gentlewoman. Prices start at only 30-45 baht/bun! It's a very cute price when compared to the quality and care taken in each bun. ⸻ ☕ The tea-sipping and photo corner is just as cool. There is a small seating area in the shop where you can sit and eat with hot Chinese tea. It feels like you are in a 90s inn in a Chinese movie. It's so chic. If you like classic Chinese aesthetics, this is the place to go! 📸🧧 ⸻ 🧧 It feels like you are eating snacks with your grandma, but ten times cooler. We want to say that... Gulongbao is a "must-try" in the Song Wat area. Because they don't just sell steamed buns, they sell "feelings" and "culture" through simple but very memorable food. Whether you come to eat alone and chill, chat with friends, or bring your foreign lover to see the world, it's all suitable! This place combines deliciousness and culture in one word! ⸻ 🎉 Short summary but the most amazing ✨ Steamed buns are as delicious as hugging grandma ✨ Soft dough, full filling, smooth taste ✨ Beautiful shop, photogenic from every angle ✨ Good location, easy to travel ✨ Cute price, worth getting to know ⸻ 🔖 Hashtags to attract hungry people #gayinthekitchen #gaytravel #eatatshops #oldstylesteamedbuns #GuLongBao #YaowaratSteamedBuns #EatOldArea #MustComeSongWat #FoodiesMustGo #ReallyDeliciousNotFake #SoftFluffyBunsFullOfFilling #SteamedBunsInBangkok #HiddenShopsInOldArea #EatAndTakePhotos #RecommendGreatShops #Review of great restaurants #I love dim sum #Steamed buns are awesome #Chinese lovers must visit #Ah Mui takes you to eat #Soft and fluffy rice noodles ⸻ If your girlfriend is going to hunt for steamed buns and wants you to take her to eat somewhere else, just tell me where to go, Mom. I'll make you another big set! 💁🏻♀️🔥✨

An ancient bun shop that is over 100 years old. We had the chance to visit Song Wat and tried the buns from Gu Long Bao. We tried the minced pork and salted egg buns. I personally like the dough a lot. The minced pork filling is also delicious. The price is affordable. 📍Address: Song Wat Road, Samphanthawong District, Bangkok 🕰️bOpening hours: 10:00-19:00 #GetDiscountsWithoutLuck #Bangkok #TellAboutDeliciousFood #BangkokFood #Song Wat

If you still think of Song Wat as just an old riverside neighborhood, it's time for an update! There's now a secret alley that's become a hotspot among young people and chill seekers. Take a stroll deeper into this alley, and you'll feel like you've entered another world filled with charming little shops, each with its own unique style. Start with the matcha tea shop, offering a variety of choices from rich, original flavors to matcha lattes or creative matcha blends. Green tea lovers will absolutely adore it! Walk a bit further, and you'll find a Thai craft chocolate shop. It's not just about the rich flavors but also the fascinating production methods. If you're into dark chocolate or want to try authentic Thai chocolate, this is a must-visit! And don't miss the fragrance shop, featuring aromatic candles, essential oils, and other delightful scented products. The packaging is adorable, and the scents are so soothing you'll want to take them all home! The atmosphere in this alley is truly heartwarming—a peaceful retreat hidden amidst the hustle and bustle of Bangkok. There are plenty of chic photo spots, making it perfect for a leisurely stroll, enjoying delicious treats, or sipping tea and coffee while chatting with friends. If you're looking for a place to recharge your spirit or discover unique cafes, make sure to pin this secret alley on Song Wat Road. You'll fall in love with it!

#One-day trip plan 1 day with Song Wat Road Address - Song Wat Road, Chakkrawat Subdistrict, Samphanthawong District, Bangkok Getting there - You can take the MRT subway and get off at Wat Mangkon Station, then walk through Yaowarat Road, then enter Yaowaphanit Alley, walk straight ahead and you will find Song Wat Road. Or if you bring your own car, I recommend parking on Song Wat Road, which is a private parking lot. There are many places where I parked. The shop I parked at was opposite Song Viet Add Song Wat. The parking fee is 40 baht per hour. For 1 day with Song Wat Road, I will not recommend any famous shops. 1. Ruen Klang Nuea Restaurant is a true beef noodle shop. It has its own unique identity, whether it is the decoration of the shop or the food. Inside the shop, there are about 10-15 tables. The beef noodle soup is very delicious. The dry beef noodles have a well-rounded taste. The soup smells very beefy. In addition, opposite the shop, there is another branch that has just opened called Pork Refinery Shop 2. Gu Long Bao Ancient Steamed Buns (Song Wat branch) is a shop selling steamed buns and dumplings, traditional recipes. Steamed buns come in many flavors: white sesame, black sesame, red pork, minced pork, both small and large. They also have steamed buns, various herbal drinks, and the shop's specialty is baked steamed buns, all of which are delicious. 3. A cool photo spot at the entrance to the Ko Chai Issahak Mosque (Wat Ko Mosque). The mural art is at the entrance to the mosque and on the wall of the Gu Long Bao shop. It is a steamed bun. This is another place that people like to take photos. 4. A photo spot before the entrance to MAHAPHO RIVERVIEW (Bodhi tree by the river). This is different from other spots because it has old-style stickers and papers advertising various things from the past attached to the walls. This is another corner where you can take beautiful photos. There will also be painted letters next to it. 5. The side walls of the Chang parking lot The Chang parking lot is a private parking lot, but what catches the eye are the pictures painted on both sides of the building in the parking lot. Huge and colorful, anyone who dreams of it must stop and take a picture because it is a high angle. 6. Pink wall, art on the side of the building Pink wall is a spot that people like to take pictures of. It is located near Wat Pathum Khongkha, which is uniquely outstanding. We have received information that this picture will change according to different festivals or important times. 7. Choch@SongWat, a craft cocoa shop It is a shop that specializes in cocoa drinks. It is a newly opened shop. The shop is decorated on the outside as an old building, but the inside is a modern style mixed together. For those who like cocoa, I highly recommend it. There are many flavors and varieties to choose from. #Songwat Road

Strolling, taking photos, and finding food on Song Wat Road. After going to resolve your bad luck at Wat Mangkon Kamalawat, keep walking and you will find a very hip coffee shop, Song Wat Coffee Roasters. There are many different coffees to choose from, many menus, good taste, delicious desserts, but very crowded. After sipping coffee and eating desserts, walk along Song Wat Road. There are cute shops to stop by and try. The noodle shop, the beef distillery, is not to be missed, but we didn't eat there because it was very crowded and very hot. We couldn't wait. Eka Restaurant, another recommended Thai restaurant, is full of cafes along Song Wat Road. Every shop has delicious desserts. You can walk, take photos, and cafe hop all day. Very enjoyable. Anyone who has never been here should come at least once. #Bangkok attractions #Song Wat

Go for a walk on Song Wat Road. There is a bun shop which is an old shop that has been around for over 100 years. This shop sells buns in the old style. The process and method of making them are still in the old style, making the taste quite classic, chewy, soft, delicious. It is not like the modern buns that are dry and stick to your hands. My personal favorite is the mantou, which is just plain bun dough. It is delicious. This shop seems to have 2 branches: one on Song Wat Road and one on Yaowarat Road. It is easy to notice that if you go during the day, there will be a lot of Chinese people sitting in front of the shop because it is quite a famous shop. #Chinese restaurant

The soft yellow steamed buns are a unique Teochew recipe that has been a legend for over 100 years. The dough contains sweet potatoes, making them chewy and soft and light yellow. Every steamed bun is molded and pleated by hand, and traditional methods are used in each step of making them, making it a unique feature that many people love and want to try at least once. The shop offers steamed buns with many fillings, including steamed buns. There are both baked and steamed buns, and the price of each filling is different. Steamed buns start at only 9 baht, or you can order a set with baked pork ribs in soy sauce, custard, or Thai tea. You can order it right away. We ordered the minced pork and salted egg filling and black sesame filling, both of which were delicious. We recommend coming in the morning to avoid long waiting times. While you wait, there is a picture corner next to the shop for you to take pictures.
