[CLOSED] Pies & Coffee (Rochester Mall)

Had Chicken Cheddar Pie. The pie is just awesome. But everything besides this pie, are just norm. So, go there for the food, but not the customer service, ambience etc.

Speak about pies and Chicken and Mushroom Pie is a classic for me since it was my mum's de facto choice of pie when I was young that she would pick for me. Beneath the buttery crust is the chunky mushroom and chicken, where the usual creaminess lies a bit more towards the earthy mushroom flavours here with most of them infused into the sauce. Generally nothing to shout about, though I thought there could have been a better balance between the chicken and mushroom chunks for there seems to be just a few pieces of chicken around.

Saw this and gave up my usual Flat White for it. Pretty similar to The Art Space's Creme Brûlée Latte where you get a layer of sugar flame-torched above the coffee so you get the similar crackling top as per a Creme Brûlée. Pretty satisfying for it's like a dessert and coffee all in one — take a gentle sip to munch on the sugar, while leaving the remaining to dissolve on its own to add a little sweetness to your coffee if a little sugar is what you fancy in your cup of coffee.

The food here always screams Comfort to me! Trying out the Nachos cheese and Steak Pie that comes with a side of mash potato and fresh salad greens ($11.90). I was half expecting the steak filling to be rather dry and limp. However, when I cut open the delicate pie crust, the meat chunks appeared tender and juicy. The marinate was delicious and I fully enjoyed biting into each tender beef chunk that will not get stuck between your teeth, nothing of that sort. But! The Nachos cheese spread over the pie was underwhelming. When eaten together, the fragrant buttery pie crust seemed to overpower the taste of that layer of cheese. Maybe the cheese would have had a louder voice if it was drizzled over the beef inside the pie. 😍
