Crowd-favourite Tokyo Lamington has expanded its dessert empire with a concept bakery in Marrickville. The mission of this new branch is more than just dishing out the cubed desserts the brand is known and loved for; it is to expand its offering into all sorts of new savoury ground with a full roster of artisanal baked goods, all paying homage to the local melting pots of Asian and Australian culture. But don't panic, lamingtons are still on the menu. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Tokyo Lamington (@tokyolamington) The dessert slingers have introduced new additions, like a Vietnamese coffee lamington. This cubed delight is a tribute to Marrickville's migrant communities, featuring a gluten-free sponge soaked in Vietnamese coffee and filled with a coffee cream made from rich Vietnamese coffee beans and condensed milk, finished with a coating of white chocolate. But there are plenty of its classics on the menu, including its iconic raspberry jam and vanilla cream, the yuzu curd and blow-torched meringue, and the colourful fairy bread and popcorn. But that's just the tip of the iceberg. Tokyo Lamington & the Bakery expands the offering beyond delicious sponge cubes to include a wide spectrum of baked delights, including pastries, cakes, breads, savoury pies, quiches and even sausage rolls. The cultural fusion is plain to see when looking at the ingredients — quiches made with savoury custard, miso and mushroom, pies with Japanese chicken curry and sausage rolls with pork, ginger and katsu curry sauce. It's all in the spirit of fusion, a direction that the Tokyo Lamington team takes to the tastiest levels.
