Rating: 3/10 In one word: Predictable Friday night, new store, $3 vanilla slice...I should have guessed. Every vanilla slice I have had from Moonee Ponds so far has been pretty disappointing, so I shouldn't have been surprised. This one looked like it might have some interesting features, but sadly appearances behind glass did not materialise. The custard was not fresh and fluffy as it looked in the display case, rather rubbery and clearly set with gelatine. It lacked taste in all areas, not just the custard, partly to do with the lightly baked pastry and rather unusual chocolate (was it chocolate?) icing. Nothing ventured, nothing gained. |
