It is so hard to find really good meat pies in HK. If you love your aussie meat pies and aussie meat, you would know what I mean when I say I miss the ‘raw’ taste of aussie meat. Some people don’t like it, some people crave it and I am one of the latter.

One night over the long weekend, we really wanted a meat pie, one with loads of fillings and a crispy puffy top. So I decided that we can bake one ourselves.

We added our own ingredients, mince beef (of cuz! and from oz too hehe), onions (finely chopped by Mr Lee), mushrooms (i know it’s not a chicken and mushroom pie but that’s how we like it), a bit of mustard, bayleaves, pepper, tomato sauce and cheated with some beef stock.

Shortcrust pastry also sold out at the local supermarket (yuh and it was only frozen pastry.. ) so we only had puff pastry on the top and decided to do without the crust haha..

How it turned out??? Taste was yummy because we were able to add whatever we wanted. The puff pastry and fillings turned out better than we expected. A spoonful of fillings with crispy puff pastry is not a bad idea.

Except, dont watch tv while you are baking. I burnt the pie b/c even after buzzer went off, I kind of ignored it 😛 So all-in-all, it was a good-enough-for-now pie to stop our craving for better pies..for now..
