BestInSingapore's Shepherd Pie's Delivery [Sponsored]

 

Sometime last year, I've mentioned about trying the yummy chicken shepherd's pies from Shepherd's Pie Singapore. Back them, they only had beef and chicken shepherd's pies available on their menu and now I'm happy to find out that they've expanded their menu (mac 'n' cheese, pasta, lasagna, burgers)! 
Not only that, but they're also rated as one of the best 5 pie delivery in Singapore by BestInSingapore! 

And to comfortably feed 5 adults for lunch (although I have to say my mum's appetite is more like a bird), I got a medium lasagna and a massive mac 'n' cheese shepherd's pie! 
First up, this time round the delivery was actually delayed by 45 minutes and the food just mere lukewarm. But it's probably due to the crazy downpour happening right at the hour of my stipulated delivery time; so can't blame them either. It's more of my lack of luck, I reckon. 

Mac 'n' Cheese Black Pepper Chicken Shepherd's Pie (Massive-800g) - $29.90

Why choose between the creamy goodness of cheese and the spicy kick of black pepper, when you can have both with our new Mac ‘n’ Cheese Black Pepper Chicken Shepherd’s Pie! Delicious Chicken Mac n Cheese with a generous serving of cheese and our special Black Pepper gravy. If you’re craving for some Mac n Cheese with Black Pepper Chicken, you can’t go wrong with this!

As compared to their standard Shepherd's Pie (which has a layer of baked mashed potatoes), the Mac 'n' Cheese Shepherd's Pie comes with a top layer of Mac 'n' Cheese (duh?!) instead. However, as mentioned earlier, the food came merely lukewarm, hence the cheese has considerably harden up when we tucked into the food, which was definitely a shame! And they're actually also rather generous with the cheese, so we really had some slicing work to do with a sharp knife to cut up the solidified melted cheese. 

The harden mac 'n' cheese aside, the black pepper chicken filling was so good! Instead of minced chicken they've previously used in the standard Shepherd's pies, this time round it was big chunks of well flavoured chicken meat! Love the savoury and subtle spicy kick of the black pepper, which definitely cuts through the heaviness (and would-have-been) creaminess (if the cheese was still melty) of the Mac 'n' Cheese to make you want to go for seconds. 

If you're a fan of Mac 'n' Cheese, and at the same time, want something meaty to "complete your meal", then this is your jam! 

ORDERED: Sienna's Traditional Lasagna (Spinach, Ricotta - Vegetarian Friendly) (Medium) - $25.90

DELIVERED: Pia's Homemade Lasagna (Medium) 

WITH BEEF & NOT VEGETARIAN FRIENDLY 

Sigh.... I was quite stumped for words this time round. My family and I (except for my HB) do not eat beef due to religion, hence I chose the vegetarian friendly version of their lasagna. But it ended up being OOS on my stipulated delivery date and they sent the BEEF VERSION without informing on the order being OOS and checking with us if it's okay to switch to the beef version. 

My parents actually ate the lasagna, thinking it's 'minced mock meat' and I dare not tell them the truth after finding out that they've actually sent us beef. *facepalm*

I can only say, the ignorant is not guilty. :(

Shepherd's Pie Delivery: shepherdspie.sg [Sponsored]

shepherdspie.sg journey started back in 2011 when they're looking to find some good old Shepherd's Pies for a Christmas Party. Back then, Shepherd's pies weren't that popular; and being unable to find anybody to bake the pies for them, they decided to do some recipes researching and bake their own! 

And over the years, they've since refined and perfected their recipe to what they believe to be the tastiest and freshest Shepherd's Pies in Singapore. 

shepherdspie.sg offers 3 different sizes of their Shepherd's Pies in two different meat flavours, beef or chicken. And since my household do not take beef for religious reason, we got to try out their delicious chicken shepherd's pies for my Sunday cheatday!

Medium Chicken Shepherd's Pie (left) 

9 x 5 inch loaf pan, good for 2 - 4 pax

Cupcake size, single serving

Massive Chicken Shepherd's Pie (not in picture)

9 x 9 inch square pan, good for at least 4 pax

Did you know that traditionally, Shepherd's pies are to be made with ground lamb while their cousin, Cottage pies are made with minced beef. But I'm pretty sure these two terms are commonly used interchangeably by everyone now, with, perhaps, the exception of Gordon Ramsay. 

I mean, what about pies using neither lamb or beef, but pork? Piglet pies? Pigsty pies? 

And how about those with chicken? 

Anyway, be it Chicken Shepherd's Pie or Chicken Cottage Pie, it doesn't matter. What matters is that they're delicious!

The minced chicken filling at the bottom is well seasoned with a flavour that rather similar to a sweet and slightly savoury Japanese curry, along with diced vegetables like carrots, peas and corn. The filling is neither too moist nor too dry, and the minced chicken is cooked just well enough to retain a nice bite to it while not being overly dry and tough. 

The yummy minced chicken filling is then covered with a thick layer of smooth and creamy mashed potatoes and then baked until the top surface turns golden brown. 

With the sweet & savoury chicken filling and the smooth & creamy mashed potatoes, this Shepherd's pie will definitely be thoroughly enjoyed by both children and adults alike. 

All the pies at shepherdspie.sg are baked fresh with ingredients prepared freshly, hence a minimum one-day advance order (cut off by 5pm) is required, and delivery will be made at 3 different time slots to your preference.
And do be rest assured that the pie(s) will be delivered PIPING HOT!
