I have read about BAO on the papers before they were open. Since I am just staying 5 mins away, I decided to check it out on the first day of biz.

BAO is a collaboration between Patisserie G's Gwen Lim & ex pastry chef of Candele Christophe Grilo. The chef was presented that day and could be seen at the kitchen baking away Liberty coffee also had a pop up on the first day of biz serving coffee to customers.

Snapped a quick pic of the shop front from the escalator. The food and cafe scene around Lavender and Jalan Besar is indeed thriving~
