Originating in London and taking the international culinary scene by storm, the legendary BAO team is making a flash return to Taipei with their brand-new fast-food concept, BFF (BAO Fast Foods). Nestled in the alleys of Taipei, they have set up a ‘BFF Convenience Store Lab.’ Using the familiar medium of the ‘Asian convenience store,’ they have creatively deconstructed and elevated everyday fast-food classics, such as the Bang Bang Chicken Drumstick and beef noodles with a shawarma twist.
This is not just a pop-up shop; it is an open-source brand incubation project welcoming public participation. Tomu is incredibly honored to be invited as a collaborative partner in this exciting experiment, co-releasing a limited-edition ‘Sparkling Millet Wine’ to join the lineup inside this limited-time convenience store!
Insiders Only: The Trendiest Taiwanese Food & Drink Pairing
Imagine this: inside the BFF convenience store after dark, taking a bite of a freshly made, crispy-on-the-outside, juicy-on-the-inside ‘BFF Bang Bang Chicken Drumstick’ while popping open a chilled bottle of the BAO collaborative sparkling millet wine.
As the dense bubbles burst on your tongue, they instantly release the signature gentle sweetness and acidity of millet, perfectly balancing the rich, satisfying savoriness of the fried chicken. This ultra-refreshing taste profile is undoubtedly this summer’s most captivating, must-try Taiwanese food and drink pairing.
To blend seamlessly into BFF’s playful, street-style convenience store setting, we took a bold approach with the bottle design. Incorporating BAO’s iconic contemporary visuals, we’ve shattered the stereotypes of traditional terroir wines, allowing local island flavors to showcase their trendiest, most modern face.
Pop-Up On-Site Experience Guide
As the BFF Convenience Store Lab is open for three weeks only, our special Taiwanese-inspired eats and drinks are available on a first-come, first-served basis, while stocks last. On-site, in addition to enjoying piping hot fried chicken paired with our limited-edition collaborative sparkling millet wine, you will also find a curated selection of brand merchandise. We highly recommend visiting in person to soak in the unique atmosphere of this contemporary convenience store lab. For those who love BAO’s signature aesthetic and thrive on fresh experiences, we suggest arriving early to join us in Taipei’s alleys and witness this incredible crossover collision!
