Comments on: Huong Viet and Chehade El Bahsa & Sons Sweets, Bankstown http://www.notquitenigella.com/2008/10/25/huong-viet-and-chehade-el-bahsa-sons-sweets-bankstown/ The slightly eccentric eating, cooking and travel adventures of a Sydney girl who loves cakes, cooking, Nigella Lawson and eating. She eats, breathes and dreams food and indeed will never get cable TV as she'd quit working and watch the Food Channel all day long.

Wow, that's a lot for baklava, these ones were only $1.30 a piece. Rancid nuts are hideous and will spoil the enjoyment of any dish. I'm afraid I am always in the mood for good baklava, it's probably a good thing that I don't live near here as I'd probably stop off every day! Unfortunately no, it's not really nearby at all, although there are supposed to be some really good Lebanese restaurants in Surry Hills which isn't as far. Hi Christie-There's a limit as to how much I can eat and baklava is my weapon of choice and it's more moist. Hi Cappucino-It is, I don't think I've ever seen Bubble tea so cheap! Hi FFichiban-Haha I will defend my square of Baklava to the end! :lol: Hi grace-What exactly would you do for Baklava!? :lol: I've made it once and I won't make it again as I can actually eat a whole lot of it, it's dangerous. I don't think I have the sugar regulator where baklava is concerned. Hi snoooky doodle-You're welcome, you may be able to find Bubble tea if you have a Chinatown area near you :) Hi Maria-LOL that would be way too long I think.

If I saw one somewhere I wouldn't be able to resist going in and buying something to eat! I enjoy the occasional Lebanese type pastry. It's a struggle in this town though to find something good and fresh. I've too often spent too much money (like $4.50) on a piece of baklava, only to find the nuts rancid..and it just 'oh-so-wrong'. I then get cross with myself! I know of a place in Melbourne that has some fresh Lebanese pastries, but I'm only there when I catch the train with my girl and meet up with friends for a Max Brenner morning tea and some lunch at Melb Central. We usually do this every 3 months and are long-overdue for another trip. However, I'm not always in the mood for such sweets so whether I buy any or not depends on my mood. These pastries look fresh..and lovely. You don't need much though do you, as they're so rich. My American brother-in-law would enjoy that place, however Bankstown isn't an easy commute from Naremburn is it?
