Tom's BaoBao, a shop selling baozi (steamed buns) in Harvard Square in Cambridge, Massachusetts, has gained increasing popularity with customers since its opening in July.

The shop is the first overseas branch of Hangzhou-based Gan Qi Shi. Tom Tong, founder of the chain that has more than 200 restaurants in China, majored in automation control in Tongji University. He values precision in the measurement of flour and filling in his baozi, requiring that each baozi should not deviate by more than two grams.

The steamers are made of bamboo from the Yangtze River Delta region. The lowest price of a baozi is is about $3, enticing many customers. Tong plans to open more shops in Rhode Island.
