Discover $14 secret pie driving Aussie foodies wild—so exclusive; it's sold without storefront!
- Replies 9
In the bustling streets of Sydney, a culinary treasure is being whispered about among the most ardent food enthusiasts.
It's a pie so delectable, so unique that it doesn't need a storefront to sell out.
This is the tale of Blood's Bakery, a hidden gem that has pie aficionados across the city (and beyond) clamouring for a taste of their exclusive, mouthwatering creations.
Blood's Bakery, started in 2021 by the renowned chef Alex Lynn, formerly of Mr Wong and Ms G's, has taken the concept of the humble pie to new gastronomic heights.
The bakery operates under the radar, selling its wares not through a traditional shop but via a modern-day speakeasy method—direct messages on social media.
Every Tuesday, the bakery releases its menu on social media, and the race is on.
Customers must slide into Blood's Bakery's DMs to secure their order, and with a fanbase that's as dedicated as it is hungry, the menu sells out every week.
Despite having only a handful of Google reviews, the word-of-mouth buzz has been enough to sustain and grow this underground pie phenomenon.
The show's star is the Chasu Pork Belly and Ramen Egg pie, priced at $14 for a single serving or $23 for a 'bake at home' box of two.
The Sydney foodie Antonio Khant, behind the social media account @thepieboi, shared his 'mouth-watering' encounter with the pie, describing the aroma as 'so buttery' and unlike anything he'd ever encountered.
‘I just got my hands on one of the most exclusive pies in Sydney, maybe even Australia,' he said.
‘Straight off the bat, this smells so buttery. I've never smelled anything like this.’
The pie's allure lies in its perfect fusion of Asian and French flavours.
Layers of flaky, butter-soaked pastry envelop a rich filling of chasu pork belly and mushrooms.
The pork belly is slow-cooked in a blend of ginger, sake, and soy, then nestled in a ramen-like broth with sesame, seaweed, and shallot.
The finishing touch? A gooey ramen egg yolk that oozes over the top when bitten into creates a symphony of flavours, with even the most discerning pie lovers singing its praises.
‘This pie is awesome, one of the best pies I've had in Sydney,’ Khant continued.
Fans were raving over the video, with one woman praising Chef Alex for making Sydney's best pies.
Another viewer described the pies as ‘incredible,’ while a Kiwi humorously remarked that only a New Zealander could be trusted to judge the pastry, given Antonio's Australian background.
With the Chasu pie in high demand, the bakery is taking pre-orders for August 23rd and 24th.
Chasu Pork Belly and Ramen Egg Pie are just some of the draws.
Blood's Bakery also offers other Asian-inspired pastries, such as the Ramen sausage roll, and sweet treats like the 'Cornflake Tart’—a delicate milk custard with stewed strawberries and rhubarb crowned with crunchy cornflakes.
Blood's Bakery's creations can also be found at Solstice Cafe in the Inner-West suburb of Summer Hill every Saturday for those who prefer the charm of a face-to-face purchase.
‘Obsessed. I rush to Solstice Cafe to buy your products. They are the perfect weekend treat, and the flavour combinations are so unique and perfectly done,’ a customer commented.
‘Amazing Pies! Must try. A real hidden secret,’ another commented.
In related news, Lode Pies and Pastries in Surry Hills offers a $20 meat pie, which has sparked debate over its price.
The pie, made with wagyu brisket and accompanied by a side of chicken sauce, takes three days to prepare. Read more about it here.
