I noticed whilst wondering through the Foodhall in the basement of David Jones that there were two types of vanilla slice for sale. The first was being sold at the Espresso bar and resembled the Costco slice. The second was this offering from the Patisserie that looked very unique in comparison. It's neon yellow custard was better than expected and was quite creamy and sticky with definite vanilla content. The pastry let the side down, with some risen areas of pale looking layers and some darker more compact sections. Sadly the pastry was not fresh and coupled with slightly-too-thick icing made for an average experience overall.
