Rhubarb danish - $4.50 (?)

Passionfruit Meringue Tart - $5.50 

[L to R]: Lemon Curd Tart and Ginger Creme Brulee Tart - $4.50-$5

[L to R]: Strawberry Meringue Tart and Lemon Curd Tart - $4.50-$5

Pork and Fennel Sausage Roll + Tomato Sauce ($4.50)

Ah, who doesn't love the smell of freshly baked bread. Bourke St Bakery began in 2004 by bakers/chefs Paul Allam and David McGuinness, whom both shared a love of good food. Now in 2013 they have 4 bakeries/restaurants.

Delayed post - but this continues on from my food journey last holidays. I finally got a chance to pop by the infamous Bourke St Bakery and try out their sweet goodies and almighty sausage roll. The pork and fennel came highly recommended and failed to displease. The pastry was layers of crispy goodness, and the pork was well seasoned (not too salty). 
My favourite tart had to be the Lemon Curd, definitely a great balance between sweet and tangy, the cream was a good consistency that went well with the short crust pastry. The Rhubarb danish was a disappointing. The subtly sweetness of rhubarb was not present and seemed... overnight :O

To be honest, I think I'd prefer froyo over pastries for my sugar fix but I would def go back to try the other rolls and pies.
