What a saucy tart!

Boy couldn't fit in a Voyages session this week so it was left to Schwester to wave the flag for exploratory eating.

She trudged off to Vauxhall on a slightly hungover Sunday where she cured any possible illness by indulging in some awesome Portuguese custard tarts at the lovely Cafe Madeira with CM. Cafe Madeira is part of a small family run business that specialises in Portuguese food.

Not only was their coffee excellent - CM's black coffee came with lovely thick crema on the top - but the custard tarts were amazing. Schwester had two (they are small!) and would highly, highly recommend them. They were the perfect consistency - the custard was set but not firm, the pastry was still crisp but not hard. They were perfect reminders of why custard tarts are popular and how far the real deal is from those nasty, blanched things you find in the supermarket.

The only downside to all this is that Schwester's discovered there's an outlet very near her flat that sells them which means she can access them whenever she wants...
