This morning before work I ventured to Newtown in search of Black Star Pastry. On arriving at my location (277 Australia St, Newtown) I was greated by the beautiful smell of fresh ground coffee and a huge plate of Macaroons, The flavour in subject : Coconut and Passionfruit. After waiting some time for service I purchased my treat for $3.50 and in turn took my first bite. Traditional? No. My palate being new to the taste of macaroons I was subject to the less traditional coconut coated version of the sweet. Fan? not really. Frankly, the sweet was a little sweet. And from what I have read and been told a macaroon should have a subtle sweetness and not a 'Ive put to much sugar in this passion fruit filling' kind of taste. And on the subject of filling, once again a less traditional approach was taken. Instead of a creamy flavoured ganache I was greated with Icing sugar mixed with passion fruit. Im not saying it didnt tasted good, but I can safely say this macaroon will not take out the title of 'The Best Macaroon in Sydney'I award Black Star with 2 Stars.
