Kicking off 2023 at HamBaoBao & Lils TapRoom! (7th Feb 2023)

HamBaoBao first started life as a food stall located at Beauty World Food Centre in 2014.
Fans and supporters will be aware that after 5 years, they ended operations in 2019.

Well, they are back with version 2.0 physical store at Sam Leong Road in Jalan Besar!

An additional piece of good news for CBA members is that HamBaoBao & Lils Taproom is also a Brewer Friendly Bar ~ this means that we can bring along our homebrews for future member tasting events!

Burgers and Beers are one of the irrefutable simple pleasures in life - and it gets even better with like-minded mates around having beer-fuelled discourses on Craft Brews and the meaning of life - No ChapGPT required here!

We were hosted by the affable couple Ryan and Claire who served up a curation of Asian-inspired Burgers - cue the Peranakan influenced Ayam Buah Keluak Burger where the classic Peranakan dish (of chicken in a curried gravy topped with a painstaking preparation of Keluak Nuts) is transmogrified into a chicken patty burger infused with the meaty nut flavor.

Craft Beers on Tap had a broad selection from Hazies, the Garage Project Nelson Sauvin hopped one, to the classic Stone WootStout which we could not resist. Best part was that we had a $10 pint offer with each burger purchased, and $4 off each pint the whole night. Classy….

We ended the evening with a treat for everyone, and especially for the Homebrewers present - Brett’s Gose and a monster IPA, doped with a massive dollop of a dominant Chinook supported by a stellar cast of worthy Centennials, Amarillos and what have you…
