In one word: Tremendous
I drove out to the leafy eastern suburbs in search of Pure Bread Bakery on another tip off of great vanilla slices. The drive was most pleasant, as was the slice!. Tremendous value for money at only $4.20 a slice, with portion size and freshness very generous. The pastry was fresh, thin and cut beautifully with a sharp knife, making it easy to eat in 4 mouthfuls. The custard was equally lovely, with a yellowy, fluffy texture and striking vanilla flavour and speckled appearance. The triple layer structure worked very well with the textures and the quantities provided, unlike many others I have tried. What could have made this even better would be a gorgeous sticky icing on top.
