- Hanbaobao spicy chicken burger: $7.90 (two for 1 deal)

My friend and I were happening past this place while it was doing a grand opening promotion, so we came in and tried it. It's a burger chain from China, which is kind of interesting - basically a Chinese American-style burger restaurant, in Australia? 

It's basically fast food, and very similar in vibe to Marrybrown or KFC. Even at full price, this burger is relatively affordable at less than $8. It was good. It was kind of spicy but just about tolerable for me, and the spiciness didn't linger in my mouth. There was a good amount of lettuce and mayo. I could also taste the black sesame seeds on the burger bun. 

It wasn't particularly groundbreaking in any way though. The chicken was definitely good, crispy, slightly sweet, although the meat inside seemed more pink than white which did give us pause - but neither of us got sick, so it was fine. Would consider coming again.
