Best Humbow - Pike Place Market

Caught this guy in the act of buying a Humbow at 9:50 am!
Seems the word Humbow is not known to everyone so I included a web site so you can see a photo and learn about it.

OK Constance...at the risk of sounding really stupid....what on earth is a Humbow? Great shot though.

[Henriette Sparkes]

Sorry...just googled it, no comment :-) I'm vegetarian!

[Tanya]

We call them Char Siu Bao or just Bao. According to the meat eaters in our family- yum Tokyo, ok in Singapore, hit and miss in China (possibly due to the variety of please dont ask fillings) but yuck here...mostly gristle and jelly like stuff. Funny that its morphed to 'humbow' in Seattle....Chinglish in reverse?

[Constance Brinkley]

@hinhoutbay Chinese steamed buns filled with BBQ pork or chicken.

[Cori]

It's not just for breakfast anymore!

[Fiona Kierans Dunne]

Nice capture! I googled too lol :)

[Constance Brinkley]

@hinhoutbay They also make vegetarian humbow so you won't be left out!!

[Emer Hyland]

nice capture

[Rick Schies]

Oh I don't see any problem ordering tht for breakfast.

[Kirsty .P]

I can't even face food in the morning let alone one of those things,yuk!
neat capture of the early morning Humbow muncher,lol!

[Henriette Sparkes]

Thanks Constance...glad to know that I won't be starving when/if I finally get to Seattle!

[Isabel]

his work day might have been something other than the standard 8-5? one more place to add to the Seattle treasure hunt....I think I'd buy one regardless of the time!

[Karen Hurd (hwy61)]

OK, I never heard of this but now I want one ...right now. Overslept this morning and have not had breakfast...read the article at the link you included and am SURE I would like it for breakfast also! (Will have to see if I can get them around here somewhere.)

[Karen Hurd (hwy61)]

Ooooh, just read Tanya description of the (don't ask") fillings ....guess I would think twice depending on what country I am in!

[Carolyn R]

Checked out the link...looks very good. I'm not a breakfast person, but brunch or lunch - I could do a Humbow! Nice capture of Seattle!

[Vicky G]

I have never had one of those before, but it will definitely be on my list for the next time I make it to the market.

[Diana Moss]

I hadn't heard of them , but they sound very tasty , nice shot

[Bill Dodsworth]

[Laerke Thorndal]

I love these everyday street captures that you do, it is so real :)

[Tiina Kaaria]

Again a great everyday action shot. I'd like to taste Humbow. Never heard of them ever before:)

[Naomi]

I don't think I'd like to eat that at that time on a morning! Good capture :)

[JohnnyMitch]

There is no wrong time for a Humbrow.

[FunnyFace]

Great capture again, your street shots are fab :-)

[Karen Lepp]

Great shot!

[Jennifer Loftin]

I didn't know what is called either but I have been the lucky recipient of one. They are delish. I hope you ate one, too.
