Visit websiteAbout Oriental Bakery
Mermaid Beach’s unpretentious counter serves house-made Cantonese dim sum alongside crisp banh mi and Aussie bakery classics. Tradies fill the doorway around smoko—an easy tell for the quality and low prices. Behind the glass, oversized shumai packed with water chestnuts steam beside warm char siu bao, flaky curry puffs, and sausage rolls. Regulars grab a bolo bao split with cold butter and a bag of hot dim sims before heading to the sand five minutes down the road. Parking sits tucked around the back of the building.
- Handmade Dim Sum: Plump, house-rolled pork shumai studded with crunchy water chestnuts, served hot alongside steamed prawn dumplings and dim sims.
- Fresh Bánh Mì: Banh mi layered with cold-cut pork, pickled carrot, and fresh coriander, built to order without delays.
- Cantonese & Classic Baking: Warm pineapple buns paired with thick cold butter, soft red bean donuts, flaky meat pies, and curry puffs.
- Family-Run Counter: A longtime husband-and-wife storefront offering welcoming service and takeaway items largely under five dollars.
