🥧Paua pie
This pie is quite rare to find in bakeries. The gravy is creamy, and the filling is full of pieces of paua, reminiscent of chowder soup. One suggestion is that for this somewhat expensive pie (NZD11), the paua could be cut into larger pieces to enhance the overall texture.
🥧Duck pie
The filling is packed with duck meat at the bottom of the pie. The gravy tastes like sweet bean sauce, aiming to resemble Peking duck. However, a less salty and rich flavor would better complement the duck, as duck meat is already naturally rich in taste.
🥧Bacon and egg
The egg is at the bottom of the pie with pieces of egg throughout, along with egg custard. The taste is average, and there’s nothing particularly noteworthy to recommend.
Final Thoughts
Overall, those pie tastes good, a bit overprice but I rated it 4 out of 5
