The Chicken Floss Salted Egg Yam Square Pie is the savoury-sweet member of the Kek & Crust Signature Square Pie collection. It combines smooth yam, salted egg custard, a creamy milk-egg mixture and generous chicken floss inside our golden square pie shell. Dry seaweed finishes the topping, adding another savoury element to the chicken floss. Unlike most of the collection, which leans toward dessert flavours, this pie is intentionally built around familiar Asian savoury-sweet ingredients. Yam contributes gentle natural sweetness, salted egg adds richness, and the chicken floss provides a light, savoury finish that immediately distinguishes the flavour from the fruit, coffee and chocolate pies.
At the base of the filling is a layer of yam, giving the pie a soft, slightly earthy foundation. Salted egg custard follows, creating a richer and more savoury middle layer. Above this sits the milk-egg mixture, made from milk, whipping cream, whole egg, egg yolk and sugar, which adds creaminess and connects the yam and salted egg without overwhelming either flavour. Chicken floss covers the surface generously, rather than appearing only as a garnish. Thin pieces of dry seaweed are scattered through the floss, providing colour and additional umami. The surrounding pastry gives all of these softer fillings enough structure to be eaten as an individual handheld-style Square Pie.
The flavour moves between sweet and savoury rather than sitting completely in either category. Yam gives a mellow sweetness and soft texture. Salted egg adds a distinctive savoury richness, while the milk-egg layer makes the centre rounder and creamier. Chicken floss brings both saltiness and an airy fibrous texture, and seaweed contributes a slightly marine, roasted note. This combination makes every bite feel more complex than a typical custard pie. The pie shell also plays an important role by providing a neutral buttery base that allows the stronger salted egg and chicken floss flavours to remain balanced.
This flavour is ideal for customers who usually prefer savoury pastries, Asian-inspired desserts or combinations such as salted egg and chicken floss. It works particularly well in a mixed Square Pie box because it provides contrast against sweeter flavours. It is also suitable for office sharing, gifting and afternoon snacking when a fully sweet dessert may feel too heavy. For customers looking for something different from conventional cakes and tarts in Kuala Lumpur, the Chicken Floss Salted Egg Yam Square Pie represents the more adventurous side of Kek & Crust.
