The first brush with Windowsill Pies was at Savour 2012 though prior to that, I was aware of its presence at Pandan Valley Condos. I suppose they have not looked back since.
One random night, we decided to just pay them at visit at their not-so-very-new premises. The design already stands out, don't you think?
A little bird gave the secret away.
Enchantment seems to be the theme, or at least the owners wanted to create an environment that childhood never ends - I remember wanting to dine in the park like little red riding hood did as a kid, basket in hand and skipping along cobbled paths looking for grandma. Yes, I was that imaginative as a kiddo. The tree really looks straight off the pages of Noddyland!
I digress but here's a tray to sniff your way to your choice of tea if coffee does not appeal.
I spy a yellow SMEG fridge! Guess what they store within!
Bottles of water, so please help yourselves. I am already tempted to get a SMEG fridge after this visit.
Iced coffee for the caffeine addict, really good stuff he says.
Chomp therapy! I love how these are served on a wooden tray. These are plated almost immediately upon your order at the entrance.
Morello Cherry Pie
Sugared shortcrust pastry, this resembles a danish pastry from the Royal Dansk. Those were my favourite within the tin of neverending layers of buttercookies as child. Nonetheless, cherry pie this is - I have not encountered a cherry pie here before. We were warned that it would be "sour" but the level of sourness was pleasant. Encrusted with sticky morello cherries, this was too delicious to stop at one forkful.
Coconut Lime Vodka Pie
Yet another sour one. Pastry is different for this alcohol infused item. Intoxicating cubes of vodka jelly and topped with a swirl of coconut cream, I completely cannot ask for more. The vodka cubes are godsent awesome as with the pairing of lime curd with it. A gentle number that proved to be more than pina-colada exciting!
Pecan Pie
Tucked away from public view, we were told that there was a lurking one in the chiller if we wanted to try. Try we did! Pecans topped on pie filled with pecan filling that it resembled sticky date. Too sweet infact with all its richness, I would prefer that they had chopped pecans with the filling too.
Grasshopper pie that I wish I had space for!
Each pie slice starts from $7 and have increased since their Pandan Valley days which is perfectly understandable but let's just hope the increase does not continue.
Cute mementos for takeaway! Each comes with a different design.
Addictive pies for sure and we already made plans for returns to check them all off our list! If you sense that we are hooked, we sure are. :)
