Crumble Top - Newtown

This place is awesome! So many different options to pick from! Love that you can customise your own crumble! There's something for everyone! Instagram worthy! Staff are really friendly and welcoming! 5 stars!

This dessert bar is on King Street near Missenden Road. Their main offering are crumbles with a choice of topping, sauces, and ice cream. The service is super friendly and really nice. Order at the counter, make payment and if eating in, pick a table and they'll bring it out to you. It was a great dessert to have as it was a cold evening and just the thing to warm you up. I had the Granny Smith & Cinnamon, Oats & Spice, Vanilla Custard, And Toasted Coconut Ice Cream. It was a wonderful combination and a pretty good version of apple crumble. The custard and ice cream brought in extra flavour and moisture to the dish.

Headed over to Crumble Top after dinner tonight, Interesting place where you design your own crumble from the menu and they make it right there for you. Opted for the apple cinnamon with oat and spice crumble for the topping. Came out nice and fresh, apple cinnamon with oat and spice turned out to be a nice combination. Had a side of Belgium chocolate ice cream to finish the dish.

I don't understand Crumble Top. I'd seen a lot of people posting about this place, so decided to try it. I have to say it was the worst crumble I've ever eaten. My dish felt like two tablespoons of tart stewed rhubarb and apple (good) that was cooked separately to being in the crumble, so not integrated at all. On top, there was an inch of super-dry oats, that as I mentioned didn't integrate with the fruit below. When you cook this dish at home, the moisture from the fruit actually interacts with the underside of the topping. When you whack it under a grill, it simply doesn't happen. Vanilla sauce was fine but a bit bland and too thick to pour, and the pandan and coconut ice cream looked so toxic with artificial green colouring, that I felt funny about eating it. Yes, I recognise most pandan extract ice creams use artificial green colouring, I just prefer natural products. I would rather eat a white pandan ice cream than consume artificial colours when I don't need to. It cost $13.99 - though I suspect half of that cost is in the over-packaging, which dwarfed the crumble itself. I suspect I could have made a crumble four times as big and five times as good for $5-6. I consider this experience a lesson learned. missdissent.livejournal.com
