Day 8 - more quack quack oink

On Friday I had Beach Babylon's 'Oriental Bao Burger': Braised Longbush Pork belly with BBQ duck and Asian slaw in a steamed bun, with sesame-salted Asian street fries and sriracha mayonnaise. 

I was a huge fan of this burger. First, the steamed bun was not at all doughy (unlike Dragonfly's bun). Second, the flavour combination from the 'Asian slaw' and the roast pork was just right. Some in my group did not like the large bits of fat that came with the roast pork, but to me they just made the burger all that more delicious (albeit, they potentially drowned out the duck - but the five spice flavouring shone through). The mayonnaise that accompanied the fries was not very sriracha-y, but all in all a delicious burger that I would eat again. I award the Oriental Bao Burger 8/10. 


I did a big swim (1km) up at Karori pool before this burger.
