Tarts & Pies @WindowSill

The first time I tried WindowSill's tart was at Creamier.  Passed by it during my last visit to Tiramisu Hero.  So finally, I get to try more of their pies and tarts.  They specialises in pies, but only the sweet type, no savoury ones.  Thus they are very clear what they are capable of doing/making.

You can find more than just coffee over here.  A small chalkboard is placed in front of the cashier.  Can give a try for their specialty tea.

 

You got to walk to their front display of the pies & tarts to have a good look on what's available for the day (a little fogged out by the condensation on the glass).

Behind the main door, you will be greeted by a cute version of forest & woody feel, tapped with cement screed walls on 1 side.  The shop may not seem big, but it is sufficient to make every customers sitting there comfortably to enjoy their desserts and drinks.  Good thing is that you won't feel compel to quickly finish your desserts and drinks though there are constantly new customers coming in.  As the flow of walking-in customers is still manageable.

 

Love this little hut-like frame that houses 2 tables.  I got to get this table the next time! haha

 

The only picnic bench available in the shop for big group.

I like their presentation, using a wooden tray instead of usual plate.  The only shortfall would be it maybe harder to balance as the pie/tart may sway here and there.

In order to sample their pies & tarts better, we chose to go with tea.  Besides, smelling the tea leaves yourself.  The other, quickest method is to ask the staff!  Recommended by the staff and partly influence by the name of the tea, I chose the Muscato Blanc. 
Muscato Blanc ($6 per pot, refillable) - Slightly revealing a tint of sweetness on your palate, and nice smelling at the same time.  Different from the usual fruity or floral tea you have tasted, this tea will definitely give you a pleasant surprise.  It is so good that you will keep refilling the pot and still have a good blend without diluting the goodness.

 
[Pardon if I didn't get the name of the desserts (below) right as there is no label/signage stating clearly.  Can only based on the verbal description the staff gave me.]
S'mores - Nice try.  The marshmallows on top were a little over burnt (uncertain if it was done intentionally or not).  The chocolate body topped with dark chocolate fudge, is my favourite! However, I like their unique pie "crust" most.  It tasted and flaked off like pastries, rather than the normal crunchy pie/tart crust.

Banana Almond Brittle - Not bad.  The sweetness of bananas are captured on the top cream layer.  Salted caramel in chunks (too big a chunk) are embedded inside the mousse cake.

 

Will come back again to have more pies/tarts!  Cute & cheerful place with dainty desserts.
