Foreign Pie News

 Japanese Gala Apple Pie:  Beard Papa's food outlet, Iconsiam Shopping Mall

A surprise find this one. We only went in the mall to escape the thunderstorm raging around us. (And given that we were on a river cruise at the time, you perhaps see the peril we were in)

Anyway, the pie.

Pastry:  Perfection. Crisp yet at the same time managing to be ever so slightly flaky, enhanced by innovative caramelisation plus a dusting of icing sugar. Marvellous.

Filling: A cheeky addition of custard inside the pie raised it to another level. Apple recognsible as such and very tasty.

If I have one reservation, it's that the custard (unexpected as it was) tended to splurt out uncontrollably.  JB and I wore custard beards for  a time.

Nevertheless, a pie of unsurpassed greatness in Thailand (Admittedly, the bar's not that high)

Well done,  Beard Papa!
