Restaurant Review: Bourke Street Bakery"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>One brisk Saturday afternoon in June, we decide to try the esteemed <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bourkestreetbakery.com.au\/\">Bourke Street Bakery<\/a> in one of it newer, humbler locations. <\/p>\n<p>The quiet side-street in Marrickville is flooded with wintery sunlight. We perch ourselves on a pair of rustic, wooden benches under an ice-blue canopy of cloudless sky, and um-and-ah over the mouth-watering menu, finally ordering ourselves a couple of soy latte&#8217;s, a pork and fennel sausage roll, and a ginger brulee tart. <\/p>\n<p>YUM.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/sugarpopblue.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/07\/bourke.jpg\" alt=\"sugarpopblue | in pursuit of earthly delights\" title=\"Bourke St Bakery\" width=\"400\" height=\"400\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-130\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sugarpopblue.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/07\/bourke.jpg 400w, https:\/\/sugarpopblue.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/07\/bourke-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/sugarpopblue.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/07\/bourke-300x300.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><br \/>\n<!--more--><br \/>\nThe unassuming little bakery smashes out a gourmet meat popsicle that has my palate begging for more. The sweet, moist pork is seasoned with just the right balance of spice, and is wrapped in a light, flaky, pastry that breaks away like an autumn leaf in May. It is served with a slightly chunky, sweet but tart, tomato chutney. Sharing this with my partner was a bad idea as I wolf down my half, and am suddenly left salivating for more. Heaven.<\/p>\n<p>Next, we approach the tart with bated breath, unsure of whether this petite dessert could possibly match the accomplishments of its former companion. Forks out, we go in for the kill.<\/p>\n<p>The skin on top is burnt to a caramelised crisp; the perfect brulee crunch beneath our silver. The ginger custard is luxe and creamy, a decadent treat that whisks me away to an exotic Moroccan marketplace with its subtle but delicious blend of flavours. The pastry, alas, is not short enough, but it is a shortcoming I am happy to overlook!<\/p>\n<p>Will definitely be storing this one in the &#8220;visit frequently&#8221; pile.<\/p>\n<table>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"20%\"><strong>Ambience<\/strong>:<\/td>\n<td width=\"80%\">7\/10<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"20%\"><strong>Food<\/strong>:<\/td>\n<td width=\"80%\">10\/10<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"20%\"><strong>Service<\/strong>:<\/td>\n<td width=\"80%\">9\/10<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"20%\"><strong>Value<\/strong>:<\/td>\n<td width=\"80%\">7\/10<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<p>Featured on: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.urbanspoon.com\/r\/70\/1472417\/restaurant\/Sydney\/Bourke-Street-Bakery-Marrickville\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Bourke Street Bakery on Urbanspoon\" src=\"http:\/\/www.urbanspoon.com\/b\/logo\/1472417\/minilogo.gif\" style=\"border:none;width:104px;height:15px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The unassuming little bakery smashes out a gourmet meat popsicle that has my palate begging for more.
