Considering that there aren't many dessert pie-focused stores in Singapore, it's great to see that they have been around for years (though I miss their spacious Jalan Besar outlet with the fun cabin-like interior and decor), presenting us with a sweet, homely alternative to cakes and ice-cream. Flavours have definitely changed up over the years (or maybe I've just been MIA from their stuff for way too long) with classics having been retained after all these years!

The Maple Latte Pie ($7.50) was something new to me, and having just come back from the stereotypically presumed land of maple syrup not too long ago, I was definitely drawn to this quite instantly. The creme is more of a coffee base with distinguishable traces of maple, and nuts, for a balanced bittersweet flavour and the cake (?) layer is pretty interesting and unique to the dessert. The cookie bits are added upon order just to make the pie a little prettier than already is. 🥰

One thing that has caught my attention though is the drastic decrease in their base thickness; it's pretty thin to the point where - especially with this one - I feel like there's no pie base at all. I did experience this the last time I was at their Upper Thomson branch, but simply don't recall it being like this couple of years back. The base of a pie is surely essential to the foundation, and overall texture and taste of it so that aspect did disappoint a little. 😧 That said, flavours are still pretty spot on and overall, it's still a place I'd go to when I'm craving for a dessert that simply stands out from the conventional without feeling like an Instagram gimmick. 😌
