Filling: Powdered custard mix 3.5/10 Pastry: Under baked, but fresh 4/10 Presentation: Effort there but lacking finesse 6/10 Value for money: $3.60 - Wouldn't willingly pay for another 3.5/10 Overall score: 4.25/10 Whilst visiting Newcastle on the Central Coast it took me ages to find a vanilla slice in a bakery, let alone one that looked good enough to buy. On my penultimate day in the city I stumbled upon the Daily Bakehouse in Kotara, selling a rather ropey looking 'traditional' slice and this 'French' offering. I knew straight away that the pastry would be a bit of let down by its very pale complexion and lack of icing sugar on top. The custard too could have gone both ways, with a nice yellow hue to it and unknown texture until purchased. My first bite gave me all the answers; weak, tasteless, thin layers of fresh (at least) pastry sandwiching plump layers of powdered custard mix with a slightly slimy texture. Yes it was fresh, but altogether it wasn't great.
