Good pies are hard to come by and I’ve been disappointed with a number of specialty pie shops in Klang Valley until Jien took me to The Crusty Nest in SS15 Subang Jaya. He ate one of their pies during a meeting prior that week and thought it was good.
Fuss-free interior
Seeing how I’m also on a lookout for good pies, he suggested an impromptu brunch that weekend. Unlike most places in Subang, The Crusty Nest has a fuss-free interior with a display kitchen area where you can watch as pies are being prepared. You also get that delicious whiff of baked goods, which I liked.
Piezza
A cross between pizza and pie
I tried the Piezza (RM15) – a cross between pizza and pie where minced chicken, sour cream, tomato base and cheese sits in a pie crust. Good combination, but what impressed me more was the pie crust itself. Flaky, buttery and crisp, yet firm enough to hold the filling together.
#TCN Grilled Chicken Sandwich
I didn’t care much for #TCN Grilled Chicken Sandwich (RM8) though. You get a decent sized sandwich with grilled chicken breast (not my favourite part), vegetables and tomato sauce in wholemeal bread. Pretty average if you asked me.
Latte
Americano
Coffee isn’t their strong suit either – both the latte and black coffee was weak in flavour. But if you must have coffee with your pie, I guess the black coffee is a slightly better choice. Service was pleasant in general but when I was there, only two tables were occupied. Can’t vouch for them on a busier day though.
While I didn’t care for the coffee and sandwich, the Piezza alone is worth coming back for. The pie crust is also one of the better ones I’ve tasted in Klang Valley. ;)

Verdict: I feel the pie crust is one of the better ones in Klang Valley. Try the Piezza when you’re here.
