With few places left to sample in the South Melbourne area I opted for Romano's coffee whilst walking through the parade. What initially struck me was the overall look of quality custard and pastry, plus the generous sized portion. With my first bite the pastry revealed itself to be ever so slightly stale - well lacking real crunch anyway. With a good colour and bake to it the overall freshness was a let down. The custard, however, proved to be a a decent component. It's viscosity just right; it oozed out the sides with each bite and had definite vanilla content in the mixture. A light dusting of icing sugar gave the portion just enough sweetness to want more. Not a bad slice if on the neighbourhood.
