Filling: Thick, slightly set vanilla custard 7.5/10 Pastry: Fresh, well defined layers and flaky 8/10 Presentation: Heavily dusted, great ratio of filling / pastry 8/10 Value for money: $4 - Medium/large portion, fresh and tasty 8/10 Overall score: 7.9/10 Central West Bakery in Braybrook was a good example of a Vietnamese/Aussie hybrid bakery done well. On offer they had a traditional vanilla slice, with thick white icing, a French vanilla with cream / custard and brown icing and this offering called a “custard vanilla slice” with the dusted sugar. I opted for his one as it looked the creamiest and contained the most custard, even though it was selling at 40 cents more than the alternatives. The custard, though slightly set, was creamy, sweet and with a hint of vanilla. Easy to eat with a fork or a good texture to consume with your hands as it wouldn’t squeeze out the sides. The pastry was really good; a rich, golden brown colour with neatly defined thin layers that crumbled with each bite. Worth a visit also for the large plane sculpture out in the car park that my boy loved.
