Filling: Smooth and creamy, eggy semolina custard 9/10 Pastry: Fine layers of syrup soaked filo pastry 8/10 Presentation: Simplistic but appertising 7/10 Value for money: $0 - Free at a party, but I’d buy one for sure N/A Overall score: 8/10 An interesting Greek twist on a vanilla slice that was a desert at a friends daughter’s birthday party. Similar in concept to baklava, but with baked semolina custard filling, the pastry element is filo soaked in honey or syrup. A rich golden colour and wafer thin, it had more than a hint of cinnamon and was delicious. The custard too was really tasty; full of egg, a hint of vanilla and a slight semolina texture, also allowing it to remain rigid enough to be cut and portioned. With only the two elements to concentrate on I took out two slices of this and would go back for more if I could. Better than birthday cake for sure! Not quite a vanilla slice as we know it, but effectively the same elements.
