Ask me what my best food memory from Sydney is, and I'd say the ginger creme brulee tart from Bourke Street Bakery in a heartbeat.
Spicy creme brulee with the perfect consistency sitting in a crunchy and tasty tart shell and crowned with pistachio bits. Mm mmmm... I can't believe we got it as an afterthought, but I am sure glad we did.
Creme brulee in a tart was something new to me at that time. And so when I heard from a friend that The Muffinry on Telok Ayer Road does creme brulee tarts, I headed there for lunch the next day, excited about reliving my best food memory from Sydney.
We had sandwiches, coffee and the creme brulee tart. With Sarnies' just down the road, I don't think I would be back for The Muffinry's sandwiches and coffee any time soon. But their creme brulee tart, of almost runny custard sitting atop a cumbly tart base, is worth a try. It definitely wouldn't surmount its counterpart from Sydney, and I wished they cooked their tart bases and torched the custard surface for longer, and maybe threw in some vanilla beans and more heavy cream, but I would go back just to get close to that ginger creme brulee tart from Bourke Street Bakery again.
