Cafe Kentaro

I love a good Asian fusion cafe, Cafe Kentaro was no exception. Situated in the leafy Surry Hills, it's a very chill spot with a rustic interior.

Soft-shell tacos are a well-loved Mexican classic with the expected brown rice, veggies and lime. The Japanese influence really shines through the gooey egg, mustard and tangy pickled radish. The soy-braised pork belly was absolutely delicious.

The Matcha Mille Feuille is a must-try, especially from the self-proclaimed matcha experts. As a sugar lover, I enjoy a classic mille-feuille or napoleon. The sweet custard you expect is replaced with bitter matcha which is a very bold choice. This is balanced by the sweetness of crunchy puff pastry and fresh berries. I was very impressed by how beautiful and tasty this dessert was.

This toast was wonderfully stacked with pork belly, chives, garlic shoots, bean sprouts, yakiniku sauce and of course, kmichi.

Bf review: I loved the kimchi and the poached egg added the perfect flavour.

I haven't tried the original cafe yet, Cafe Oratnek but I am excited to! From the looks of it, Cafe Kentaro has heavier Japanese influences but they both serve the classic Matcha Mille Feuille.
