“Not too sweet” is a key characteristic at this striking turquoise corner shop, a destination for Asian-influenced baked goods such seven-layer honey cake; doughnuts filled with pandan custard or crème brûlée; chiffons; Basque cheesecakes spiked with matcha or Thai milk tea; strawberry shortcakes; and coconut mango Swiss rolls.
The exquisite cakes belie the fact baker Yeen Verasenee is self-taught, via hundreds of test bakes based on recipes adapted from websites and cookbooks. The first thing he does when working on a new creation is cut the sugar percentage. The results are cakes and sweets with gentle flavours – like pandan, black sesame or young coconut – that are delicate and well-balanced.
The business started life at Sydney’s various markets under the name The Baking Lists. The new name, Khanom House, means “dessert house” in Thai and honours Verasenee’s heritage. With it comes this permanent location, including 15 seats inside, 16 on the footpath and coffee from Marrickville’s Double Tap.
