Exploring the Variety of Bao Buns at L’Oasis
Bao buns are a delightful lunch treat, and L’Oasis Café & Restaurant offers an enticing selection that caters to diverse palates. Here, diners can choose from four distinct options, each bringing a unique taste to the table.
- Chicken Karaage Bao Buns: These buns feature juicy and crispy fried chicken, perfectly seasoned and combined with fresh coleslaw. The crunch of the pickled onion and the smooth aioli adds layers of flavour, making each bite satisfying.
- Pork Belly Bao Buns: This classic choice delights with tender pieces of flavourful pork belly. Slow-cooked to perfection, the pork belly inside the soft bao bun is complemented by the light and tangy coleslaw and the refreshing pickled onion, balanced with creamy aioli.
- Crumbed Barramundi Bao Buns: For seafood lovers, the crumbed barramundi option is a must. The fish’s golden crust offers a delicate crunch, contrasting beautifully with the pillowy bao bun. The accompanying coleslaw and pickled onion bring brightness, while the aioli rounds out the flavours.
- Crumbed Tofu Bao Buns: Catering to vegetarian preferences, the crumbed tofu bao buns provide a delicious plant-based alternative. The tofu is crispy on the outside yet silky inside, paired with the zesty slaw and aioli for a delightful taste.
Each bao bun is thoughtfully prepared to ensure a marriage of textures and tastes, providing a satisfying lunch choice that leaves patrons eager for more.
