St Malo Bakery Crows Nest

St Malo is fairly new in Crows Nest (close to North Sydney), probably about 1 yr old. I have been a loyal customer of St Malo Bakery since day 1 when they opened their door & they are the best bakery in Crows Nest (there are 4 bakery within the area).
Artisan organic bread, pastry, quiches, pies, birthday cakes, pre-made sandwiches are available. Everything is made fresh on the spot & priced reasonably.

Simple French decor with limited seating areas. My favourite spot is the 'aquarium' - sitting inside the glass room next to the kitchen & you can watch the chef playing with the dough - twist, flatten, shape, roll, bake, etc. My little words of wisdom 'come early to avoid long Q, breakfast can go a little crazy here'.

Ju-Rin

I am running out of ideas to take my best friend Handi out for his birthday. I realised he has never been to Ju-Rin in Crows Nest. He is happy with the idea as it is a little suburbia and easy for him to find parking. Booking done, we picked the 8pm seating, we were quite lucky to get a table as I did last minute booking (3 days prior to the dinner).

We also ordered the Beef tongue miso udon but I forgot to take photos. The soup is really tasty & the beef tongue is really tender, a definite must have when you visit  Ju-Rin.

Ju-Rin today's special

Torched Salmon with avocado sauce, the sauce is really refreshing & it complements the perfectly grilled salmon

Zucchini flower tempura stuffed with prawn paste, crunchy and tasty prawn paste stuffing

Wagyu beef karubi, very tender and juicy wagyu

Dessert Menu

Sakura Mochi, cherry blossomed flavour mochi with red bean filling, if you like low level of sweetness dessert, this mochi is your best friend :o)

Tempura green tea ice cream red bean, the portion is quite generous, it can be shared for 2-3 people. I marked the tempura ice cream 5/10, presentation yes... the quality of the vanilla ice cream & the tempura batter not so great
