Pastry: Slab-like, rubbery 2/10
Presentation: Presentable, but misleadingly poor 6/10
Value for money: $5 Medium portion, pastry thrown away 3/10
Overall score: 3.8/10
To look at this one I’d have expected a reasonable product, maybe a 6/10 kind of slice, but instead I was left very disappointed. The pastry layers were hard, rubbery and unable to penetrate with a fork. After a few attempts I gave up with the pastry as it offered nothing with taste either. Instead, I forked out the heavily set custard and the odd piece of passionfruit icing. This in all honesty was not that great, but I hate waste. The custard was very well set and somewhat slimy in its texture. The flavour was that of milk rather than cream and lacked a rich custard taste. The icing was also underwhelming, with only a slight hint of passionfruit running through.
Can’t win ‘em all.
