Ostrich & the Egg is Australia’s first food truck for the iconic South African donut called koeksisters. Using a unique blend of locally sourced ingredients and spices the koeksister is hand forged from start to finish, the dough is spiced prior to rolling, pan fried, placed in a house made syrup then dusted in coconut. With over 350 years of various cultural influences, it bursts with unique and humble flavours.

Using our tried and tested family recipe, we will produce koeksisters from our ‘Koeksister Kart’ for all market and festival goers to chow down whilst soaking in the bustling atmospheric conditions! We absolutely can’t wait to share this unique treat with all of Melbourne!
