Scrumptious pies any day any time from Tai Tai Pie Pies

Tai Tai Pie Pies (Admiralty)

I have always wanted to get pies from TaiTaiPiePies but never made it to their popup stalls at the markets.

Previously I tried their pecan pies when they did a joint venture with Secret Ingredients and Blue Smoke for Thanksgiving.

I was so glad to see them at Great supermarket and try other flavours which I could not get my hands on before.

However, there are still some flavours I would like to see such as: Spinach Pignoli Nut Quiche, Asparagus Cheddary Quiche, Cheese & Onion Quiche, B3P (Big British Breakfast Pie), Country Strawberry-Rhubarb Pie, Coconut Dreams Cream Pie, Prosciutto Wrapped Figilicious Pie.

Their online ordering did not work for me because they only did the family sized pies but here you can get bite sized ones.

The pies here are all cold and refrigerated when you buy them so you need to reheat them when you get home.

All the pies are cooked right through so theoretically if you don't heat it up properly you will not get food poisoning.

They have an oven to reheat the pies if you should need it.

Basically they had savoury pies and sweet pies.

I was surprised to see Asian flavours: Three Cup Chicken Pie, The Hong Kong Beef Curry Pie, The Hong Kong Chicken Curry Pie, P10, Perfect 10 Vegetarian Hong Kong Curry Pie.

Although I do not like Chinese food, the tastes of the Asian Flavours probably taste good because TTPP pies are delicious.




After placing my order, they packed the pies in the bag and all I had to do was take them to the counter and pay.

It shows that they trust their customers and make life easy for them!!!

Most retail stalls will not give you your goods until you present the receipt.
Let's hope no one abuses this system by running away with some delicious TTPP's!!

In the box, there are some clear heating instructions.

The Ultimate Cottage Beef Pie:

I was really glad I got the cottage beef pie, it had chunks of sweet suede in it and the mash on top was delicious and dreamy.

Drunken Apple Crumble:

The alcoholic taste wasn't very strong but still a decent apple crumble.

Wholly Heavens Chocolate Sin Pecan:

The pecan chocolate pie was lovely and gooey with thick but not cloyingly sweet chocolate!

Wholly Heavens Pecan:

The pecan pie was also delicious and I am sure anyone would like it, the sweetness was just right with lovely pecan nuts and chewy filling on a delicious butter shortcrust.

Fishalicious Pie:


The pepper taste was a bit too strong for my liking because it was stronger than the fish.
But I liked the peas and carrots in it giving a balance to the spicy pepper taste and the pieces of fish.

Tart Cherry Sweet Crumble Pie:


This was my favourite, deliciously buttery crumbs on top with tart cherries on the bottom.

Great cottage pie at Lamma

Jing Jing Bar (Lamma Island)

While I was stuck on Lamma Island looking for food I chose this place because there was Cottage Pie and it was reassuring because lots of expats were dining there.


The other items on the menu were the usual pub grub.

There was the tuna patty burger but it was sold out that day and the oven baked breakfast looked appealing because not many places serve that.

The prices were reasonable too and slightly cheaper than dining in Central, Sai Kung and Wan Chai for the same kind of food.


I was surprised it was not listed on OpenRice and it took quite a few times to get it listed to their database!

On my first visit, I tried the Cottage pie and on the second visit I tried the All day breakfast.

Cottage pie:

When it came, it just looked really authentic, I loved the browned top on the cottage pie.
The mashed potato was really silky with a hint of cheese and the mince below it was gorgeous infused with light herbs.
There were diced carrots and fresh vibrant green peas on top.
Anyway I really loved it because it tasted and reminded me of the cottages pies at school.

All day breakfast:
I don't know why I chose scrambled eggs but they were scrambled nicely. The piece of patty in the middle that looks like a burger is actually their homemade hash brown.
It was the highlight of the breakfast because the potato pieces in it were nice and there were pieces of crunchy vegetables in it.
The bacon was crisp and not too salty.
