There is usually at least one type of food that represents a city, and when you are lucky, they are those that can be tapao-ed.

For Penang, it is the Him Heang tambun biscuit, from London, you shouldn’t miss the pork crackles, if there’s someone coming back from the States, get them to source you a pack of Reese’s peanut buttercup, and from Perth, the Corica Apple Strudel.


Corica Apple Strudel from Perth

When Val came back just the other day, it was Cheesie who had asked her to get a loaf of apple strudel from the original Corica Pastries all the way from Perth.

I became the courier for the prized dessert out of convenience since Cheesie was still enroute from Tokyo, Val and I had dinner at BU Centrepoint to complete the transaction and catching up some lost time. After all, we were together for some two years prior to her departure to the land down under.


KY, Horng, Kim, with Cheesie and Koyuki eyeing the Apple Strudel

The next day, Jaclyn, Eric, Kim, Horng, Cheesie, and I got to share the pastry (with Koyuki the huskies & Fatty and Ally the schnauzer eyeing us).

The apple strudel made of layers of crispy pastry with generous amount of apple fillings and custard in between, topped with a thin layer of caramelized sugar. Even though it was more than 36 hours since the strudel left the bakery, it was still awesomely delicious! Not overly rich nor too sweet, it was wholesome and definitely very fulfilling.

I believe a loaf costs over A$15, a bit on a pricey side, but I’d definitely want more! Val, you’re reading this right? 😀

    You mentioned “Reese peanut butter cups” from USA, you can get them from supermarkets here now. I used to buy loads from Canada but found that they already selling here.

    I remember that – they had mango strudel seasonally too! 😀 I lugged back a whole slab of the apple strudel when I left Perth for good…and it barely lasted 12hrs before being completely devoured (by the family who claimed they hated “sweet pastry”…aihh)

    There was a bakery at 1U that actually brought in strudel from Corica a few years back – not sure if it’s still in existence or if they still do it though..

    The one thing I really miss is the honey-roasted macadamias from Kakulas Brothers in Perth though…awesome stuff!

    Nice, Perth truly has some great places to eat at. You should try the ‘pay what you think its worth’ Indian restaurant near the Bell tower.
