Nice Pies & Awful (Iced) Coffees

 We headed out to Rochester Mall at Buona Vista for some pies and coffee last Sunday, for dinner to be exact.

 We reached there at about 8.30pm. Just opposite One Rochester with cheers of 'yuuuuummm ... seng ...!'

Desolate yet cosy, with very few patrons having their night-tea, or dinner, like us.

 A neat gadget. You place order at the counter and take this back to your table. When your order is ready, it lights up in red and you proceed to the counter to get your food.

 Mushroom soup. I'm a big fan of mushroom soups, but in this case, I prefer Jack's Place's.

Lamb shank pie. It comes in kid's, and normal, size.

The meat was broken up into tiny pieces to make the pie very eatable. The crust was so feathery it tore readily as you sink your fork in.

Lamb shank taste was unmistakeable. Soft and warm.

But Coco and I found it hard to eat the whole pie. Coco stopped at half of it while I forced the last one-third down my stomach. Not because it's awful, but for some reason, we felt very full.

 Chicken and mushroom pie. William had this and he commented that lamb shank pie was better.

 Judging from the content, I did not doubt his word.

It's a small cafe, with more seats in the open facing a zen fountain. But very cosy and relaxing atmosphere there. A kid-size pie cost $5.45 while a normal-size one cost about $9.95. Oh, forget about their iced coffees. They are literally 'ice' + 'milk coffee'! I'll take Starbucks and Coffeebean for their ice-blended anytime!
