Black Star Pastry Rosebery NSW




The Sunday afternoon scene.


Customers lining up all the way to a wide counter from the entrance and up the several steps of slight stairs.  The sun shining with a high level of humidity outside.  Chatter at small tables and almost all seats filled up.  3pm on a Saturday afternoon.  The place is really full but the counter has enough attractions.  Our requested strawberry drinks and coffee comes within a reasonable time despite the huff and puff.

The staff that day find it perhaps hard to cope.  Used tables with clutter are not cleared sufficiently on time.  The crew in the kitchen look preoccupied, they are busy,  They utilise plastic hand and arm holders but I wish one or two of them do not wear sleeveless when working handling food.  Maybe they should have a fan to help cool them down in such an enclosed kitchen.  We sit watching them through the wired netting that separates the customer space from this kitchen.

The staff outside look even more unhappy, especially the sole barista, it has been a real busy day since morning.   Bottled water for customers to help themselves is left unfilled.

Customers get what they came for - the star items that BSP is well known for - and organise themselves to seating.   Many already know the hassle and confusion with lack of seating - the price of success?   At a corner junction, the turnover of parking cars is fascinating  - driver sits in the vehicle, accompanying passenger jumps out, gets the goodies from the Black Star Pastry and comes back usually within 15 minutes.

Aunty Gaik Lian's - Straits Chinese, Georgetown, Penang

Image
A simple but appetising egg omelette as starters. Gulai Ikan Tumis or sour and spicy fish curry. The previous long standing branch of jewellers B.P De Silva, almost at the corner of Bishop and Beach streets in the old quarter of Georgetown, has a few months ago been transformed into a hub of Straits Chinese cuisine. Straddling two shop lots, located in an evening quiet location but near to the banking district on  business days, Aunty Gaik Lian's provides a refreshing change to the Nyonya food landscape on Penang island.  I have always found that the best Straits Chinese food is found in homes in Penang, like what my Mum dishes out, and it has been exasperating to be really satisfied with commercial outlets in this cuisine.  The Penang variation of such Peranakan food tends to be more influenced by ingredients and cooking styles from Thailand and the Malayan peninsular , when compared to the Malacca version (with more of stronger Indonesian influences and the use of the

85 Degrees Bakery Cafe Hurstville NSW

Image
There are several outlets of this bakery cafe for several years now in Australia.  Did they coem from the USA? Each franchised outlet is in a busy area, often in suburbs so-called by a diverse Asian demographic.   The one in Hurstville is rather roomy and lots of baked stuff on its shelves.   The base of Sydney operations is in Chester Hill, a suburb south-west of the Sydney city centre. Some of the cake creations would be viewed as rather leaning on the East Asian dimension  - Strawberry Angel (with chocolate base and top) and Mango Cheese ( with yoghurt).   However, to counter this perspective, there are also Death by Chocolate, US Cheesecake, Coffee Brulee and Blueberry Marble options.     The pastries are definitely filled with ingredients more suited to perhaps  Anime loving fans and non-mainstream cultures - for example, garlic, pork, tuna, green tea, red bean, shallots, pork floss, coconut, Hokkaido butter cream and Boroh or pineapple buns.    Sung
