  mintyjo on Pie Society (Xingfu Li)
  04 Dec 2018

  A perfect place to reminisce over the UK.

  My BBF was visiting last week. We both studied in the UK almost six years ago, and have known each other for almost 20 years. We get each other without having to explain, so the second I told her about a British pie place, she said yes.

  The trip to Pie Society was my first time to Xingfuli (幸福里). It's chill but vibrant at the same time, with bookstores, fashion boutiques, coffee shops, a bakery and Chinese and western restaurants all within a short walk. 

  The weather felt like the middle of October, even if it was the end of November. People were sitting outside talking and enjoying coffee, and even having ice cream. Next to the fountain along the main stretch of Xingfuli, Pie Society overlooks all the action from its identical red tables and chairs.

  The lunch set is great value at RMB68 for any pie plus a side and sauce, and tea or coffee. We went for the full English breakfast (typical) and their most recommended pie, the Seriously Beefy, with minty mushy peas. The full breakfast was as huge as expected, almost enough for two. The crust of pie was perfectly cooked, crumbly and tender, and the minty peas had real mint leaves in them.

  There weren't many customers on a Friday at noon, but we still had to wait 20 minutes. Must have been the take-out orders delaying the tickets. 

  I have another friend who studied in the UK coming this week. Think I'll be back at Pie Society.
