Rustic, I like. |
From the reviews that I've been reading, Pie Tin seems to be the place to go for top-notch pies. Yes, Australia is famous for their meat pies, but this place has dessert pies too! That includes American favorites such as Apple Pie and Pumpkin Pie. Actually, I was more excited to head there for the dessert pies! I even considered skipping lunch and jumping right on board the dessert train! But I didn't have brekkie and having dessert just wouldn't seal the deal with my rumbling tummy.

See? The place was PACKED. |
|
APPROPRIATE!
My favourite number. |
It was chilly and drizzling yesterday, and there was nowhere else better to go than Pie Tin for some freshly baked hot pies. Freshly baked stuff really get me.* I've also got a thing for beef pies! I never get any other savoury kind. It's the bomb diggity! They also had a couple of choices which got me excited.
|
Smoked beef brisket pie with field mushrooms- $5.80 |
This is what I had. Yes, the picture is not lying, the smoked meat was a tad dry which is frankly a bit of a letdown. There weren't as much mushroom chunks as I thought there would be. For one thing, the meat was smoked spot on though.
Any possible better beverage? NO.
|
Side by side. |
My friend had the beef and tomato one if I was mistaken. There weren't any particularly harsh comments from her, unlike me.

Snickers Pie- $7.50 |
The piece de resistance is finally here, dessert, baby. I've been reading a lot of good reviews particularly from the Snickers pie. I have to say, I would pick a fruit pie any day cause fruit almost never fails to be beautiful especially when it's in season. But since a lot of people were suggesting it, I just couldn't say NO. The custard on top was very silky and sort of peanut-buttery which is a star for me.** Underneath that, there were chopped up Snickers bars, they were ooey-gooey. The only thing I wasn't a big fan of was the crust.
So.. I deduce, that I am totally willing to head back to Pie Tin, perhaps try something new on the savoury menu and for sure give their apple pie a shot!***
The Pie Tin
1a Brown Street,
Newtown, NSW
*Yes, its one of those things that I'm a sucker for! Nothing hits the spot quite like it!'
** Since I moved to Sydney, I realized that I actually love peanut butter a lot. Those au natural ones. The ones with way too many ingredients never make the cut with me. And I like the chunky kind.
*** The apple pie was a rather huge one. It's called the pie that ate NEWTOWN. The woman in the other table had it and it looked scrumptious!
