Taking place on Pennsylvania Avenue, the “Red Eye Market” was an open-air market celebrating the foods and cultures of the Asian diaspora in D.C., with more than 50 stalls.
Taiwanese delicacies, including gua bao , or pork belly buns, as well popcorn chicken, were among the items so well-received that attendees had to wait at least 30 minutes to grab a serving, according to CNA.
Bao Bei , one of the Taiwanese brands behind the popular treat at the market, prides itself on the use of 40 ingredients to make the stew that defines the flavor of the snack’s centerpiece — the pork.
