This is the smallest Banoffee Pie - MYR12.50 each (nett price)
Top view
Cross Section view - The base is made from disgestive biscuits. The banana tastes a bit on the unripe side but still ok because there is no taste of the slight bitter tastes of tannins that are in unripe bananas. On top of the biscuit base and in between the bananas, there is melted toffee which is not very sweet. Then on top of everything I assume the white dome is made of whipped cream. It is just an ok sweet pie for me - I can't see what is the big deal about Banoffee Pies.

The Humble Pie shop
I see your point! Same with me - I don't know what's so special about banoffee pie ...
ReplyDeleteHave you made one before?
DeleteI've not eaten banoffee pie neither. Looks very creamy. I'm not too sure if I'll like it. I guess I must really try it first. Haha
ReplyDeleteI think Ayden will like to eat the cream! Haha
DeleteHaha, I won't want to eat Humble Pie, which means to be forced to admit that you are wrong and to say you are sorry
ReplyDeleteDoes it have to be forced?
DeleteGosh. For such a price, I would expect bigger portion. I never tasted it before but again I am not so into sweet pastry.
ReplyDeleteThere are bigger portions but at bigger prices! :D
DeleteBanoffee pie is one of my favourite desserts! The caramel and base have to be just right though, and the bananas too of perfect ripeness.
ReplyDeleteOh so have to use ripe bananas for this pie but the one I ate the bananas do not seem to be ripe.
DeleteGood grief! The price!!! That, I must say, is far from humble. Looks really rich, worth a try...but I guess that would be it, not at that price!
ReplyDeletesave a year to eat a pie?
DeleteFirst time I hear banoffee pie, looks very creamy on top.. Would like to try it, but I prefer savory pies, like beef pies or chicken mushroom pies..
ReplyDeleteThey sell savoury pies too! Fresh ones too.
DeleteThe price...do they have other pie or other food? Or they just selling this...I thought if like selling this kind of price the store one must be famous or located in pavilion or KLCC those high-end places. If not by selling this kind of prices for just one kind of pie, I guess not many people willing to buy and eat lo!
ReplyDeleteYes, you can order other pies and food and they will then make the food so the other savoury pies are not sold under the counter. But the rental in pavilion or KLCC is so much more higher so the price of the pies if set up there will be more expensive too.
Deletehigh five!!! I agree with you that I don't find it a point that "you are not a pie shop if you don't sell banoffee pie".. it just doesn't seem any special to me, and the shop is not as "humble" as the name suggests, hehe!! :p
ReplyDeleteMaybe the person is a pie lover so expects all kind of pies to be included to qualify the shop as a pie shop.
DeleteI've not eaten banoffee pies before...and looking at the pic, I don't think I want to! There's just too much cream on top. Anyway, I'm not into sweet pies, I like savoury ones especially chicken and mushroom :)
ReplyDeleteBut if share a small one with another person would be fine and with a nice cup of hot coffee (disclaimer: I don't drink coffee - the most is a sip out of someone else cup).
DeleteThink i saw this shop before. But since not a fan of pie...so tarak go in
ReplyDeleteIt is on the same row as Kanna Curry House so you would have seen it!
DeleteDon't even know such a pie exists. I'm trying to imagine banana + toffee, but they don't seem to go well together. Hmm...
ReplyDeleteThe toffee is not those hard thick sticky ones but quite soft and liquid like so the combination works. I would not ask you to try because your mother will scold me.
DeleteI've checked the recipe previously and saw how it is made on TV. My conclusion is that this is a very sweet American dessert.
ReplyDeleteWiki says it is English. Funny thing is I have not seen it when I was living in UK but then I seldom eat out when I was there.
DeleteHey, I'm new to these pies! I want a bite! xoxo
ReplyDeleteYou are such a good cook and good at baking too so you can make your own. :)
Deleteoh it has real banana inside.. i thought it was just banana flavor...
ReplyDeletewell i love banana and i love coffee so this would be very ideal dessert for me ^_^
Yes, quite a large amount of real bananas inside.
DeleteBanoffe? hmmmm, not really my thing, but just like you, i havent tasted it yet so let's give that yummy-looking dessert a try! AM GONNA EAT YAH! :) #NumNum
ReplyDeleteYes do go and give it a try!
DeleteI like the name of the shop. :) Arggh the price for a pie THAT size isn't humble at all though.
ReplyDeleteYou also find it expensive! I guess you can easily make this pie as you can eat banana, digestive biscuits, toffee and cream easily.
DeleteThis is new and unique to me. Just reading your description is enough to convince me that it is delicious and fattening. LOL
ReplyDeleteFattening is right, LOL!
