🎉 Last Day Hoorah – Saturday 30/8 🎉 10.30am-2pm

Hiya fam! 💛 I’m inviting you to join us for our very last day in the shop this Saturday, 30th August — let’s go out with a bang!

We’ll have: Bao trio
🥧 Plenty of pies
🥐 Roti Khurasan
🥟 Curry Puffs
🌭 Hot Dog Croissant Buns
🍰 Basque Cheesecake
…and whatever else we can whip up on the day!

Everything will be grab & go or there’s plenty of space to sit and enjoy.

☕ Note: we won’t be serving coffee this time — it’s all about the food!

📸 Come and let’s take a picture together — I’d love to remember this day with all of you.

Come through, share the love, and help us celebrate the journey one last time in this space. ✨

Howdy everyone, just a quick note to let you know we’ll be closed today and Friday for a big clean-up (last-minute changes to the schedule).

✨ Our very last day in the shop will be this Saturday, 10:30am – 2pm. ✨

While this chapter is coming to a close, NYGP/Flying Chillies isn’t disappearing. We’ll still be active at the farmers markets, still creating food with heart, and still looking for a prep kitchen to keep things rolling.

I couldn’t be happier to share that I’ve been able to sell the set-up to a new owner who is passionate about starting a desserts bar. Knowing the space will be filled with sweet new beginnings makes the goodbye a little brighter. 🍰✨

I won’t lie — I feel sad. But I also know I need this change. Sometimes there aren’t words to explain the reasons, just a deep knowing that it’s time.

Thank you for every smile, every meal, and every bit of love you’ve shared in this space. This isn’t goodbye 🌶️💛

See you out there, and see you in the future.

— Lilly

BBQ Duck Char Siu & Pineapple Tart Pie 🥧🍍

“Inspired by the festive flavours of my Malaysian heritage and crafted with Ballarat’s finest local produce, this pie brings together the buttery nostalgia of pineapple tarts and the smoky richness of hawker-style duck,” shares chef Lilly Wright.

Truth is, I created this pie in the middle of a whirlwind — juggling deadlines, emotions, and way too many ideas at once. But somehow, the flavours aligned. It’s a humble offering from my kitchen to yours, made with care, memories, and a little bit of madness.

Not perfect, but real. Just like me. Available from 1st-31st August
