Abhi's Bread - South Fremantle
Found at: 270 South Terrace, South Fremantle / Fremantle Markets Website
Price: $4.20
It's been a while since I have found a decent Vanilla Slice but they seem to be showing up in places again, or perhaps because winter is starting to turn into spring I'm looking a bit harder?.
The southern end of the South St. precinct in Freo has spawned all sorts of various foodie delights (don't get me started on the RunAMok hotdogs), and amongst them a few bake houses.
One of these, Abhi's Bread is heaven.
Firstly they know how to bag a vanilla slice, which means you can carry it back to the office without having to be too delicate with it and its contents will remain in tact and the glaze is not stuck to the bag.
Closer to a traditional mille-feuille with its three pastry layers, this was a fine example after such a long hiatus. Pastry was flaky and the glazing wasn't to sweet and had that nice colour of chooclate decorated into it. The custard was vanilla'ery, velvety smooth and creamy.
Size was spot on and not excessive in price, a welcome return to form.
