Fonda x Wonderbao

Overview

Everyone loves a good food collaboration, especially when it involves a couple of longtime favourites. And Melbourne's latest joint culinary creation is a doozy; the brainchild of Mexican-accented restaurant group Fonda and the masters of soft, fluffy bao at Wonderbao.

They've joined forces on a new limited-edition bao-centric menu to star at all Melbourne and Sydney Fonda stores until the end of July. On it, you'll find two pillowy steamed bao varieties; loaded with your pick of crunchy zucchini ($9) or crisp fried chicken ($10), along with chipotle aioli, cabbage, pickled carrot and onion.

Also on offer is the newly launched Mexi-bun, which features classic Mexican flavours piled into a pillowy Asian-style bun. With a filling of Fonda's beef chilli con carne, these beauties are deep-fried until golden, then teamed with a queso dip and the Jane Fonda Salsa. A serve of two Mexi-buns will set you back $17.

The Fonda x Wonderbao menu is only available for dine-in — you can make a booking at your local Fonda eatery online.
