wild honey pie bakery

There has been some talk about the new Wild Honey Pie Bakery that had recently opened its doors at The Promenade @ Pelikat — other notable F&B establishments that are situated in this building will include the likes of JM (Sisters) Noodle House Traditional Ipoh Hor Fun and Bandit's Joint. Wild Honey Pie Bakery is an establishment by the same folks behind Cat in the Hat Bakery that is situated at Golden Mile Food Centre that is best known for serving up small bakes; Wild Honey Pie Bakery itself still is pretty much a takeaway only bakery that is situated within a hole-in-the-wall shop space at the basement of The Promenade @ Pelikat. Whilst one can still find bakes such as the likes of Madelines, Financiers and Caneles which are being offered at Cat in the Hat Bakery as well, Wild Honey Pie Bakery also does serve up a wider variety of bakes that comes in full-sized portions such as the likes of danishes, sandwiches and dessert pies.

The Sourdough Pork Katsu Sando is served in halved portions and comes wrapped in a cling wrap which makes it pretty easy to be picked up considering how Wild Honey Pie Bakery operates as a self-service bakery where patrons would pick up the bakes that they wish to have using tongs and trays provided before making payment at the counter. Coming at a price of $4.50, it is noted that the Sourdough Pork Katsu Sando does come with quite a sizeable portion of deep fried pork cutlet in between the sourdough bread; one can also find a lettuce leaf that sits within the Sando — all that with some form of dressing (?) and Tonkatsu sauce in between as well. Taking a bite into the Sourdough Pork Katsu Sando, the Pork Katsu is definitely chunky; this does seem to be quite a premium slab of pork that does come with a good bite considering how it consists of fatty parts that requires a little bit more chew amidst the bite while the golden brown batter on the exterior is also crisp — could imagine how good this would be on its own if the Sando is being had heated up. The inclusion of the Tonkatsu sauce does add a savoury-sweet note with a slightly gingery-touch that kept things refreshing, while the sourdough bread does come crusty on the exterior with a fluffy interior that requires some tension to pull apart; all whilst carrying a slight tanginess that came from the fermentation process in the making of the bread.
