Plan B’s Banana Custard Tart will take you to the climax you are after!
If you’ve eaten Bécasse’s banana crème brulée dessert (see bécasse entry) and moaned over this then you will know what i’m on about. This is by far the nicest banana tart you’ll ever find. I knew I was in instant love when the first spoon went in my mouth. This is some serious deadly good lovin’ moan worthy stuff that is bound to blow any girl off her chair.
THE TASTE
Banana Custard Tart
Delicious short crust buttery base with sweet crumbly peanut brittle and salty peanuts sprinkled on the creamy banana custard. Under neath the custard is a thin layer of caramalised rum infused banana which is a surprise I didn’t expect. For the record, the custard isn’t like any normal custard in a regular tart, its actually like eating a creme brulee.
Rum Infused Banana
Thought I’d show you a photo of the rum infused banana which is embedded on the bottom of the tart. I wanted you all to experience what I experienced when I first picked this with my fork. Its like finding gold in a mine.
While N and I bought the remaining tarts, this cheesecake was calling me to buy it and try it especially since the presentation of it was one that I could not resist.
Vanilla Bean Cheesecake
Very light cheesecake that doesn’t make you feel guilty. Its soo light its almost like eating a creamy mousse only a tad heavier with a subtle yogurt taste. Vanilla bean extracts are embedded through the cheesecake and the biscuit base is light and crunchy. The blueberries are fresh (as you can see from the image), and delicious golden cubes are pears which seem to be soaked / marinated in a sugar syrup of some sort. – Perfect way to enjoy afternoon tea.
There’s no point going to Plan B if your not going to have their signature burgers. This seems to be a popular one with the boys.
Wagyu Beef Burger
Huge burger which makes it a blokey burger! No way I could stomach a whole one of these so N and I went half. The wagyu beef isn’t dense its a really soft, moist patty that crumbles and melts when you eat it. The patty is one of a kind and its not one to be dry. It comes with melted cheese, rocket and beetroot. First thing I noticed about the beetroot is that It didn’t taste like it was from a can as you could taste the earthiness of it. – Fantastic!!!
Lamb Sausage Rolls
N heard great things about the sausage rolls so we went half. My god the sausage rolls are good! The pastry was buttery and flakey. The sasuage roll came with a tomato chutney with caramelised onions.The lamb is soft, almost like lamb that was slowly cooked. Its not minced, and you can tell that its actually good quality meat. Its fairly expensive for a sausage roll ($7) but judging from the filling it pretty much explains why.

Hey Belle, are you still in Melbourne?
Im still thinking about this tart. Couple of wk colleagues are wanting to go there for the burgers so im thinking about giving them money to get me some tarts. I could get one for you too try it. It is a bit of a trek from our work saves us from walking there ^_^

I always end up getting burgers and other savoury stuff there, and haven’t tried dessert yet. Seems like I have to go back soon for that!

Hi Jin,
I use the standard canon 450D and I use either the 50mm or 60mm macro lens and the rest is all from natural light.
As for photo processing, I shoot with natural light my kitchen is quite bright saves me time from not having to process unless necessary. If i do I use Adobe Lightroom.
Hope this helps.

[...] The deadly sins of desserts Wentworth Cheesecake Wentworth cheesecake seems to be their signature dessert. The flavour was subtle (I couldn’t taste the cream cheese) and the volume was so light it was almost like eating a cake with a mousse like texture with soft sponge. Similar to Plan B’s vanilla bean cheesecake (read entry) [...]

My aim is to bring forth all the places I think are great through the eyes of a normal everyday customer hoping one day you'll try a particular place I posted.
I like to portray the experience I had using photos to capture the beauty of a dish. Sometimes people don't have time to read everything so from a visual perspective, i like to provide readers with a photographic experience that will hopefully lure and tickle their taste buds.

Aki’s prawn vendakai curry featured in masterchef! Back in the 90′s when growing up, Indian food was always stereotyped as looking unfriendly (considering nothing could be seen underneath that delicious curry sauce). Over the years Indian food has definitely reached the mouths of many cultures and become a cuisine where people are not afraid to...

I like my fried rice to have lots of ingredients. I don’t like fried rice with scummy bits of chinese sausage, egg, shrimp, etc. I prefer one that has lots of ingredients in it to make it a meal in itself! Each mouthful should have a tiny piece of everything. There are many different kinds...

Etch is a small modern European (French, Italian & Spanish influences) restaurant with excellent prices. Instead of paying lots of money for a fancy dish, Etch's prices are reasonable. In my opinion its market is aimed at those who want a fine dining experience which doesn't leave pockets completely dry. Early last year I first went to Etch for a colleagues birthday (read previous entry). Since then I had fond memories of some of the dishes I had. After being so long since I last visited, it has been one of the places the girls had been wanting to try for approximately 1 year. Finally, there was a reason for us girls to get together in celebration of spicyicecream's birthday *whoo...
