Swisslink Bakery & Cafe

Yay! Managed to grab the last one off the shelves from this old school bakery that specialised in pies and puffs.

Love 🫶🏻 this soul-warming pie with chock-full of minced beef, mushrooms, carrots, onions and peas fillings, topped with golden brown cheesy mashed potato. 🤩

As you can tell it's huge. More than feeds one. Crust was light and flaky, filling has more onions and potatoes than meat but overall, since it's solid and not a flour based gravy, it's pretty decent actually.

I hate pedestrian meat pies but this one was acceptable

Carrot cake @ $4.80

A tad expensive in my opinion especially when there's Balmoral Bakery just further down selling cakes at $1.60.

It's not bad, there's good amount of fillings of nuts and possibly pineapples and a little bit of carrot here and there. Just that the outer layer cream is too sweet for our liking. We ended up eating just the sponge part of the cake and tried our best to not touch the cream part.

Guess I'll go back to Balmoral for cakes but would try other pies and pastries from here!

Chicken pie @ $5.50

Quite a good pie, in terms of portion and amount of filling, and rather tasty too. The centre part that "pops up" is actually because of half an egg underneath. Would be better if it's consumed hot.

Chicken pie also sold in a whole (think should be four pieces). And they also sell apple pie and curry chicken puff and other pastry and cakes. Definitely will be back to try other pastry!

If only a video was allowed to be posted here - I could show you a video of how crumbly Amd gooey this was .

The apple filling is tart and not the sickeningly sweet kind .

The pastry is crusty , tender and light .

Probably the best apple pie ever .

Pies are freshly baked and warm. The crust is flaky and the filling is generous - just abit too salty for me. Love the hard boiled egg and potatoes inside. I tried it one weekend and went back the next weekend, addictive!

Curry puff was good too.
