The Humble Pie and The Ugly Cakes Shop

The name of the open concept cafe is amusing. It called itself The Humble Pie, then added The Ugly Cake Shop. Wonder why any business would call itself The Ugly Cake Shop!! It's not ugly but a very considerate cafe! It was only 10.15 am when I arrived after settling some matters at the embassy. I was quite hungry and the cafe only starts operating at 11 am. I was here yesterday and saw the shepherd pies, pork and beef cottage pies. The Irish pie was not available. The operator was having her breakfast. I asked to sit to wait till she started business as I was quite hungry and won't want to move around elsewhere. She graciously allowed me. Once she finished her breakfast, she took my order. It was only 10.30 am! I was delighted at this kind gesture. Kudos to the company who has this kind of staff. The beef pie was good for people like me who want to customise my taste. It was just nice, but I added some black pepper and a little salt. The cafe latte was nice. After recovering from CoVid, somehow coffee doesn't taste the same anymore. However, this one tasted so good and I was satisfied. Overall, my food is healthy. No harm dropping by for Irish pies, which according to the operator, sells off fast. So don't wait.

The Humble Pie and The Ugly Cake Shop offers a variety of shepherd’s pie and I got to try 3 of them. The Beef Pie, Lamb Pie and Chicky Pork Pie. Depending on the meat you will love, I will specially vote for the lamb pie as I really enjoyed the well flavour combination with juicy minced lamb, spices and herbs topped with mashed potato. I fell in love with their tofu brownies and carrot cake instantly. Their tofu brownies is a guilt-free dessert to go for as its almost zero sugar. The dark chocolatey flavour was intense. I really like the dense yet smooth texture and the added crunch from the nut. The carrot cake had many layers of flavours which I enjoyed. The carrots, dried fruits, the cinnamon, the cream cheese and also the added crunch from the nut. It’s just so comforting to have

Update on 3 Aug 2023: I bought cottage pie today. Priced at $10.90 but the serving size is miserable as compared to past purchases. The piece I was given doesn't even fill up 1/2 of the box (see photo) and I felt ripped off. I buy this regularly and in the past, each serving was given in an aluminium tray and serving size was reasonable and consistent. I will not buy again. Very disappointed. Past reviews: Bought 1 Chickypork Shepherd Pie and a beef lasagna. Both items are so very delicious. Service staff were very friendly and courteous. Gave instructions on reheating items at home. Highly recommended and will buy again.

Shepherd's Pie - Lamb Chicky Pork Pie 🍜 Food wise: Crusty side crust with soft and fluffy top crust, so savoury that one wouldn't mind eating more of it. Generous amount of meat and other ingredients in this small pie! The lamb was more delicious than the pork pie, the flavour just feels right and good for the lamb. For chicky pork pie, probably not for me. Shall try the Cottage pie (beef) and the Lasagna(beef) next time! ✨ Ambience wise: Nice little stall with pet fish by our side! 🤵🏻 Service wise: Great! 💵 Price wise: Got them at 1 for 1 @ $8 only from @chopesg

Classic cheese scone and carrot cake. absolutely love the classic cheese jumbo scone. It’s not the usual super flakey dry scones that you usually get. This is moist and somewhat chewy (I think due to the cheese). I love how they were generous with the jam as well. The carrot cake was good too. Cake itself was not sweet but the cream cheese was pretty sweet. I actually like how the food here feels as though they were baked in your own kitchen. Humbly made with honest and generous ingredients.
