Half-eaten churro...Last April, we - Honey and myself managed to have brekky at The Churros Corner at Blacktown. We were one of the first ones in this small upmarket food outlet that morning. I love churros and so is my wife, everytime we go to Disneyland and in the US, this is one of our favourite snacks.
I have read this local cafe in my local paper and since then we've been meaning to go - except that the store hours coincided with our working hours - so we made sure that one Saturday we will make time to sample their churros.
We were not dissapointed with the churros - some of which are either filled with chocolate, but my favourite is the caramel-filled ones. The coffee is passable.
The empanada pie.But what truly impressed us was the empanada; this pie-like pastry [which literary meant to wrap or coat in bread - Spanish verb empanar] is similar in look and size to the Filipino variety except for the fillings as well as the pastry. The South American, particularly Argentinian version; the pastry is less sweet and the filling is moist instead of the drier and sweeter Filipino version. Our Argentinian host; and I suspect the baker/owner - admittedly knew the difference. He was obviously aware of the Filipino variety when we were discussing his empanada.
According to The Blacktown Advocate, the Saraceni family took over this pie shop over a year ago and reopened with a distinct South American/Argentinian feel. Other must have is the $3.90 omelette [which I suspect is a Spanish variety], all of which are freshly made onsite giving a "homemade" and authentic touch.
