KURIMU Southern Cross Station — Restaurant in Melbourne

Update: I’m a sucker for cereal. Literally grew up on the stuff. Breakfast, after school, dessert. Had my doubts about straying from the original Hokkaido cheese tart - which is very very good, especially if you can catch it freshly made. The dripping, warm, oozing cheesy sweet goo… sigh. But at Southern Cross Station, just before closing, no such luck. Nothing is fresh at 6pm. And here’s where the oddly named ‘salted caramel’ tart came into its own, because cornflakes are still good stale and chewy. Work with me here. Though maybe you shouldn’t because I’m also a soggy cereal fan, but I digress. This breakfast cereal-clad salted caramel tart was sweet, yes, so sweet, and delicious! Yum! Loved the textures, loved the ooze, loved the surprise of the caramel half/half filling. $4.50

Original: The choux was filled with fresh cream by the staff and was ok. Too sweet and rich for me, but good crunchy textures. The original cheese tart was lovely but a stiffer pastry base than my favourite Uncle...

Unique Dish: Everything looks delicious and beautifully hand crafted. Tried the Chicken Puff (limited edition) - the chicken is so soft and creamy that it melts in your mouth.

Puffs of the right sized.

Service: Cashier / Server is neat, well presented, smiling & polite.

Atmosphere: White/Pink Tile Theme & Clean. Chadstone Mall's Temperature is Climate Controlled. Mall's Toilet is extremely clean and classy.

Pastries are baked in store as needed so it is always fresh.

I give it 5 / 5 stars.

I will surely come back again to try different dishes & drinks as they all look tasty.

I highly recommend you to bring your family, colleagues and friends there this week for a pleasant gastronomic & shopping experience.

:)

This lovely dessert place is located next to PappaRich in front of Collins Street Tram Stop D14 at Southern Cross station. I stopped here for a take away and I was happy with the service which was prompt. They serve a few variety of baked desserts which includes choux and croissants. The croissants are freshly prepared and are nice and flaky. They have a few different options with a normal croissant at $5.50 each while the ones with fillings are $7.50 each. You can have an assorted pack of 4 for $28 (prices as of October 2022). The croissants are filled on order and they taste delicious when warm. The packaging is also robust and well designed. Overall experience is great and I would recommend their charcoal croissant options which are different and...
