French Twist, Chermside, Brisbane
August 31, 2013
Bit overdue on the photos but, came here for coffee and cake and its location is in the newer food court area, near woolies and opposite the newsagent... Seatings are both inside and outside but I prefer outside as its more spacious in a way and you can watch people passing by...
Ordered the 'Vanilla Slice' and the 'Millefeuille' (aka. vanilla slice, napoleon slice, custard slice).. Without realising, yes we did get some sort of 2 vanilla slices, but they were different in outlook and texture and taste... It was somehow similar with the 2 layered custard and all but they did have their differences...
The 'Mille-feuille' is a pastry of French origin (duhh...).. It's basically three layers of puff pastry, cream and layered also by jam or whipped cream which this time it's jam, and dusted with icing sugar... I have to say that this pastry might look as simple as what, but definitely a must try... It gave us both foodgasms...
The 'Vanilla Slice', you can probably find this about anywhere in bakeries or coffee shops, it's a popular dish, maybe more popular than the one above, but it basically has the same layout as well.. puff pastry and creamy custard topped with glazed icing/fondant and brown chocolate striped pattern... Both were hard to break, so it kind of got messy after we started eating.. Good coffee and nice ambience..
Recommended if you're looking for a good coffee shop in the mall and frenchie yummy cakes~ Have you tried their breads as well? They're pretty exxy for some, but they too are lovely so have a try..
