Baker Street…

There was this song way back in the late 70’s that I used to like a lot. I do not know the lyrics, I do not even know what the song is about but I just like it – the melody, especially the introduction. I am talking about Gerry Rafferty’s “Baker Street”.

However, this post is not in any way related to the song, other than the title and that’s probably by sheer coincidence, but instead, it is going to be about pies…

I’ve tried the (chicken) pies at some of the local bakeries here but I have never found one that I thought was nice and worth the calories…but when I saw these at the supermarket sometime ago, I thought I would just give them a try. You just take them out of the freezer, frozen…

…place them on a baking tray and pop them in the oven for some 15 minutes and they’re ready, piping hot and nicely browned…

I find the pastry very nice, the filling is not as substantial as I would have liked…but on the whole, they’re nice enough (but definitely not as nice as Yan’s) and I would not mind having them again…

There is also the curry chicken variety but I think I prefer these. For one thing, they’re not too expensive, especially when we compare them to those imported meat pies, but I do not remember the exact price, probably around RM6 or 7 something for a pack of 4.

Sam, Gundot and Lindy had these for tea during their short stay at my house and they all gave their thumbs up! Not great…but good enough!
