Pastry: Pale and lacking crunch 4.5/10
Presentation: Built high and iced with thick fondant 6/10
Value for money: $4.20 - Medium portion, not fresh and heavy going 6/10
Overall score: 5.6/10
The slice was heavy, both physically in terms of size to weight ratio and stomach space. I noticed the below average pastry first, as it proved tricky to manoeuvre the slice from bag to fingers to mouth. With sheets on the slightly thicker side and baked quite pale the pastry wasn’t really up to task, but at least not soggy from being sat out for hours. With a large serving of custard I was pleased it had some merit. Heavy and gelatinous aside, it was cold, creamy, smooth and tasted of vanilla. The icing was about twice the thickness it needed to be and was overly sweet (obviously).
Sadly, overall the slice was quite forgettable, but by no means the worst around.
