Yes! Broccoli. I say again Broccoli.

I went in and bought myself one to take home. It costed 29baht(about 90 US cents).

The close up….

Ok let us talk about what it tasted like, I actually liked it alot. The pastry was crispy & slightly sweet, the filling is broccoli, mushrooms & some sort of mornay sauce. The flavour of the broccoli is pared back, it does not dominate. Their is also a hint of coconut, I don’t know what it is from but it is pleasant……..

McDonalds should put this pie on the menu globally, broccoli is good for you………. what do you think?
