In a suburban backstreet of Sunshine North lurks a small, mainly derelict shopping strip with an unassuming South American bakery propped in the middle. There's plenty of people coming in and out, proving these guys clearly have great word of mouth custom. I purchased an interesting looking vanilla slice, Mrs B a dulce de leche circular puff tart. Clearly dulce de leche is heavily used in South American baking as even my pastry included a thin later of the sweet caramel spread nestled inside the biscuit-like layers. This made the whole thing incredibly rich, but enormously satisfying. The custard was average by comparison, but still rather nice; a decent consistency and sweet, but perhaps lacking in quantity compared to the overall size of the slice. Mrs B found the dulce de leche tart very rich, but did well to finish the whole thing on her own! A great little find off the beaten track.
