Here's version 1 of the chicken pie. I think the pastries are okay but the filling is actually quite terrible.
I got this Little pies and cake recipe book from sis as a birthday present previously. Saw these mini party pies which I thought are so cute and I like things in smaller sizes... So adapted the filling recipe from here... Hmm... it's actually quite bad. The pastry dough in this book are all ready to roll, so I took the pastry recipe from another recipe book.
I needed 2 types of pastries for the chicken pie - a shortcrust pastry for the base, and a puff pastry for the top. The puff pastry took me about 2 hours - you need to chill the dough for 30 minutes after every roll and fold. Next time I shall make the dough in advance and freeze them.
Here are pictures taken on the one MC made. She made a giant chicken pie with a very thin pastry but delicious filling. It was like eating fillings :). But I think there should be some pastry... and perhaps not use can soup since according to MC, cousin bro could tell that it was Cambell straight away.
I'm now in between throwing away the pies, or torturing my tasters. Haha...
Okay, till then...

looks like egg tart! hahaha
good luck in your future "experiments". hopefully your tasters don't run away :P
:p sigh...
Looks like egg tart because of the shell shape right? hehe... It's not supposed to be like that lah. Next time I'll place them in the foil container :)
It's actually quite a despair... these savoury testing thingy... will tell more later.
Never give up! Never surrender!
Just keep trying lor.. afterall, you have been doing sweet indulgences for a long time before you get such success lately. So keep trying!
MC, exactly what I noticed and was trying to say. I might have to go through this for a long time before it can be done properly sigh... I have been baking for more than 20 years. I'm not upset just because this experiment is a failure, it's the thought of having to do this "for a long time before i get such success".
