"Introducing my kids to a favorite from my time at the Capital. The shop is described as the Underground because it is! A labelled awning will tell you that you are at the correct building, and then find the shop 's heavy door 'round the back. Stairs only lead straight to the tiny basement ordering window. Due to reduced business in the winter, they did not have ginger-mint soda or banafee pie, which was a disappointment. In a fit of nostalgia, I ordered every pasty on the menu. The crusts were a bit darker than expected. Each pasty is about a half lb of food. The Pig was well filled with tender pork and the apples were tender-crisp, not mush. My youngest devoured the Traditional so fast he nearly burned his mouth on the freshly-made beef pie. My oldest said that the Chicken was really good and well seasoned. As much as they liked the chicken, they appreciated the soft veggies too. It really was like a hand-held pot pie. The Thai surprised my hubby both because he hadn 't expected any such thing AND because it was very well done and delicious. The eating area was clean, but had only 3 stools in a tiny, narrow and tall eating nook back at the top of the stairs. Music was played from this kitchen, and was a slasher/head banger sort of style."
