The Humble Pie Co., Section 17, Petaling Jaya

N, being the most established food aficionado amongst the team, recommended this cafe for lunch. Besides pies, the restaurant also offers non- pie delectable entrees. And on this special day, we were fortunate to stumble across the Tuesday special, buy 3 main meals and get the 4th one for free. Guess how many of us were in the party? Yup, lucky four!

The place was quaint, similar to the hipster trend of industrial looking decor with exposed pipes and bricks. I guess it looked almost the same as the other cafes we have been to that serve similar food. But as we have reiterated time and time again, we judge an eatery mostly on its food. The looks are,like us, secondary. We scored the place 7/10 for its generic comfortable ambience that seems to appeal to the young set. The waitress were prompt with serving the menu and getting our order. For that, we rated the service was 7/10.

N, J and S all had the roasted quarter chicken with side servings of roasted carrots, humongous potatoes and salad . All of us rated our food as 8/10. The portion of the chicken was satisfactory and it was well cooked. Taste- wise, it was okay. We were just thankful it was not dry. The gravy complemented the and the vegetables were tender without being overcooked. The potatoes really did us in, filling us to the brim. We rated our food 8/10.

Defying peer pressure, R decided to go for the Humblerger, which is essentially a chicken burger sandwiched between brioche and slathered with gooey melted cheddar cheese and served with a good portion of potato wedges and mayo.  He also rated his meal 8/10. 

Overall, an efficient lunch service which provided good quality food with a medium to high price range. Our meals cost from RM 18 to RM 22 pre-tax. Though plain water was free and free-flow, so that really helped.

As you can see, none of us ordered any pies. Most probably that was because none of us felt that a piece of pastry can sustain us for long. Maybe we will try them in the future for desserts. We hear their speciality banoffee and musang king pies are to die for. But we will probably go through the pasta list first before trying the pie.
