I wasn’t out shopping for a vanilla slice but I walked past this little place in the middle of Westfield and couldn’t resist. At first I thought it might have been a Costco bought slice, but the chocolate drizzled pattern on top is definitely different to theirs, so I took a punt. The slice is most likely bought in from elsewhere, but at least it was fresh and overall pretty satisfying. The custard was a nice yellow colour, fluffy and light in texture and creamy in flavour. There wasn’t much in the way of vanilla, but it ticks a few boxes. The pastry too was well assembled, dark brown and consistent in thickness and bite. The flavour lacked slightly, but the two layers did their jobs effectively for picking up and biting through. Finally the icing; a good thickness, sweetness and nicely decorated with chocolate. Perhaps it would benefit from also being a little larger!
