Filling: Above average, smooth creamy custard 7.5/10 Pastry: Thin layers but not baked for a rich crunchiness 6/10 Presentation: Nicely proportioned, misleadingly iced 8/10 Value for money: $4.50 - medium portion size, nice enough but not what I expected 7/10 Overall score: 7.1/10 The big drive from a Melbourne to Brisbane. My first pit stop an hour and a half into my first leg found me in Seymour. Having never visited the town before I took a punt of a pie and bakery shop for my obligatory vanilla slice. With a double espresso to sharpen my driving skills and a (so thought) passion fruit vanilla slice in tow I consumed them in the car with the cat to my side in her box. Upon the first bite it was obvious that the icing was not passion fruit at all, but plain and that the pastry might cause some serious custard dropping on my lap. The filling was served in a large dose and provided some precarious biting and nibbling action to halt the eruption. The pastry’s rigidity made the experience less than enjoyable and let the slide down overall. The custard was airy and light but lacked a killer punch of vanilla. The icing was fine, just not passionfruit.
