I was specially invited by Estelle from Openrice to a food tasting session at Pies & Coffee! And here I am reviewing it immediately on the day itself! This is my first time having shepherd's pie for lunch. At first I thought I won't be full after that but how wrong was I! I was so full and satisfied after this meal and I totally love the food here.

This is my first time having shepherd's pie for lunch. At first I thought I won't be full after that but how wrong was I! I was so full and satisfied after this meal and I totally love the food here.
Chicken & Cheddar $8.95
About the food: What I had was the chicken cheddar pie and I can't emphasis how much I love this. The cheesy flavour was just nice for me since I've always been a cheese person. What was amazing about this dish is the marvelous combination of a crunchy crust on the outside and a soft and smooth mashed potato fillings on the inside, filled with generous amount of chicken and real potato chunks.
Each pie is coupled with house salad. I thought the salad dressing was very appetizing since it carries a sour taste. The whole dish was then topped with generous amount of sauce, which I have no idea what sauce was it, pardon me!
I especially love the crunchy yet soft crust! On top of the pie is the a ball of mashed potato and the texture was prefect. It was not so soft such that it will go out of shape, neither was it too hard.
Iced Mocha $5.80
About the drink: If you are a coffee person and you like the bitter taste, you probably will love this. But usually, I like my mocha to be sweet rather than bitter. But since after eating the pie and I was quite thirsty, I kind of enjoyed the drink! But to be honest, nothing much special about the drink. It's the pie that was nice.
Seafood Laksa Shepherd$8.95
Wagyu Beef Cheek $9.95
I got this try a bit of this and wow, the taste of the beef was indeed strong and authentic! The beef chunks was tender for easy chewing. It is the taste of it that makes this dish special. If you like beef, you might want to try this out.
A small little cozy cafe with limited seats indoors, they have more seats outdoors for larger group of people. This time, I went in a group of 10! About the ambience: My feeling of the cafe is a very relaxing and cozy cafe located in a pretty much isolated corner of Rochester mall (which is why I took very long to find this place). The cafe is quiet and it shall definitely be a good place to chill out with your friends, no matter it's just two of you or a group of friends. But since there are limited seats, you might want to give them a call and see if they accept reservations.
A group of people definitely has to sit outdoors. And if you know that you have to sit outdoors, I suggest coming in the evening because the place is pretty humid and hot in the afternoon, at least that was how I felt when I had my lunch there.
About the waiting time: Since the pies are ready made and they just simply heat it up, the waiting time was not long at all! Yay! About the price: I thought the price here is slightly about average, but for the quality, I think it's very worth it!
To conclude, I wouldn't mind bringing my boyfriend or good friend over to this cafe if we need a place to chill or hang out, grab a coffee or frappe and enjoy ourselves at this cozy little cafe. I wouldn't mind having this as lunch too because the portion is just nice and since it's all about potatos, the carbo in it is good enough to keep me full.
With all the open-ricers. Beside me is Estelle, who invited me to the food tasting session. Thank you! Hui Yan-
