Deep Fried Twinkie at The Abercrombie, Broadway

6 November 2011, 20:45


OH HAI! How was your weekend dudes? Anyone hit the beach? Perrrrfect beach weather oh man looks like summer is upon us soon! So word on the street was that there were new deep fried items on the menu at The Abercrombie (100 Broadway, Chippendale- corner of Broadway & Abercrombie St). Armed with a ziploc baggie of ‘rave juice’ ($10 during happy hour, normally $13), the agwa and Red bull concoction is brightened up by a glow stick and makes for a happy Friday arvo with some awesome peeps.


YEAH BABY CHECK IT OUT YOU GUYS IT’S A DEEP FRIED TWINKIE ($8)!!! Ok a lil too much excitement but omg I heart Twinkies! If you haven’t tried a Twinkie before it’s basically a sponge cake filled with creme, and deep frying it makes it magical! The marshmallow sauce/creme/topping on top with the 100’s & 1000’s was a little too artificially sweet but the Twinkie itself was awesome, crunchy batter and soft fluffy innards with a river of molten cream.


The Philly cheese steak sandwich and fries ($17) is an incredible sight, the roll smothered in gooey cheese. While incredibly tasty it was a shame the steak was in cubes instead of slices.


Hot damn the Pie stack ($15) is one tasty pie! Super flaky buttery pastry with crazy tender beef, this is one pie I would drive across city for. Tho maybe not for the mushy peas haha


Deep-fried pizza ($9) rounds off our meal, each bite a crunchy cheesy pepperoni sensation that we gleefully and shamelessly dunk into the rich gravy that comes on the side. All too soon tables are cleared and the lights strobe in all colours of the rainbow, ol skool tunes play while a balloon man pumps out balloon hats and swords for all. Cheers to the freaking weekend!
