Hi Lemon8 friends! ๐๐๐ป iโm sure you all have heard of the juicy news between the two famous Katong banana pies - Dona Manis and Auntie Peng ๐. Curious to see whose banana pie tasted better, I made a trip down to purchase both to compare and decide on my ultimate pick. Soโฆ which pie fared better? Hereโs my review:
Auntie Peng:
๐ฐ $3.30/slice
๐ The pieโs crust was flaky, pastry-like and crunchy. I could taste the crushed almonds and shredded coconut well, and the banana filling was sweet and moist. Overall, I felt that I could taste the distinct layers and flavours well.
Dona Manis:
๐ฐ $3.50/slice
๐ The crushed almonds on the pieโs crust was chopped bigger, which lent a more prominent taste along with the shredded coconut. They were really generous with both as well. The banana filling was also really packed, with bigger chunks of moist banana.
๐ญ Overall Thoughts:
Between the two, I preferred Auntie Pengโs! In terms of appearance, it was noticeable that Dona Manisโs pie looked much more voluminous as opposed to Auntie Pengโs flatter pie. Both pies were generally really crumbly, so you do have to eat them carefully!
Price-wise, Auntie Pengโs was slightly cheaper at $3.30/slice, as compared to Dona Manisโs $3.50/slice.
For Auntie Pengโs, I felt that it tasted like a good mix between a pastry and pie (personally really love pastries), and the consistency and texture felt more balanced to me ๐. The flavours and textures all complemented really well, making it an awesomely satisfying banana pie. Dona Manis on the other hand, evidently did not scrimp on their ingredients, though overall I felt it tasted way too moist for me. I could not taste the distinct layers well, and it was like a wet, mushy sweet dessert ๐ .
In conclusion, my crowned winner is Auntie Peng! ๐ ๐ if you have tried both, which one do
you prefer? Letโs chat in the comments down below!
