PHOTOS TAKEN MOMENTS BEFORE DISASTER
We stopped at New Shanghai Workshop in Ashfield on our way to see a house that we ultimately locked ourselves into a $10,000/month mortgage on. Whether or not that was the right decision ultimately remains to be seen, but every day looking at my bank account and a series of consecutive interest rate rises I do wonder.
We had a number of pastries, that were all generally quite good.
Specific memories that I had include the egg yolk short cake with custard crisp ($5.50), which was rich, flaky, and not too sweet.
And the pan fried prawn bun ($5.80) which was only slightly above room temperature, didn’t have much flavour, and kind of sucked.
It’s just a shame we won’t be able to afford to eat here again for the next thirty years.

Congrats on the new house!
You bought an apartment? Condolences/Congratulations…
@10,000/month that would have to be a very very big apartment.
Love this blog, wish you were more active on instagram where I consume most of my gluttonous content.
At the risk of doxxing myself, $10,000 a month could buy you a very very big apartment, or a very very small house.
I tried Instagram for a while, but the effort to reward ratio for me just wasn’t in the right spot. It’s so hard working out which tags to use, and schedulling the posts in advance, plus it’s nigh impossible to link to the actual blog posts themselves.
You could always just skip the tags or scheduling?
Biggest issue is probably word count, maybe ChatGPT could summarise 😆.
The Bankstown Viet post on the gram caught my attention though.
