Over the summer my husband and I had various errands that took us past a mom-and-pop eatery called Mama Angie’s, which specializes in Cambodian steamed buns (called “steam buns” on the brief menu) with a fusion twist. This week was our second visit, which proved as good as the first.
Mama Angie’s does not have seating, so we had takeout for lunch. We made a meal out of sharing three generously sized buns. The first was stuffed with a spicy noodle mixture.
The second was chicken mango heat. This one packs a truly spicy kick of habanero heat.
Third up was BBQ pork, stuffed with pulled pork in barbecue sauce.
Though I’m no expert on steamed buns, the fluffy texture and slight sweetness seem just right to me. These filling buns are a bargain at less than $5.00 each.
Mama Angie’s caught my eye because of an article by Kara Baskin in The Boston Globe earlier this year. Glad I noticed.
