Sydney’s Tokyo Lamington makes $300,000 off Australian dessert Business by Sarah Sharples 27th Apr 2021 11:07 AM When borders snapped shut due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Aussies Eddie Stewart and Min Chai were trapped in Sydney and unable to return to the cafe they had set up selling lamingtons in Tokyo. With quite the hospitality pedigree - Mr Stewart is the former chef at cult institution Black Star Pastry in Sydney and Mr Chai is from N2 Extreme Gelato - the duo, who are both 36, decided to set up a shop called Tokyo Lamington in the Australian city. They partnered with chocolate brand Koko Black for one day and their entire stock was sold out in 40 minutes.
