Some time ago i stumbled upon a lovely little cafe on crown street, claiming to sell 'chimney cakes'. Of course i was intrigued! It has become a regular visiting place, and with great coffee and an ongoing range, i think i'll have quite a number of visits up my sleeve before i've tried everything!
Kurtosh is a street food originating from Hungary, with a literal translation to chimney cake, because well, it resembles a chimney (isn't that obvious??). They are made by wrapping a dough around a wooden rolling pin lookalike, then baked for a few minutes. They are served warm and come in a number of flavours such as cinnamon, pistachio, walnut. My personal favourite - another obvious - is the nutella. They are baked so as to build a crunch on the outside while still maintaining a gooey centre - YUM!
Kurtosh not your scene? Never mind, there are almost 30 cakes and slices to choose from, sold by weight! All so delicious, that if you're anything like me, you will spend about 15 minutes carefully deciding which cakes to try. Eventually settling for the fact that you will be coming back again… and again… and again.
For something different yet satisfying, Kurtosh is a must for any Sydney locals or visitors. You can drop in any time during the day for a coffee or late after dining out (or before!). While i'm usually all about the food, the service and the overall atmosphere of these cafe's is as sweet as their desserts.
