    The Witch Pie Factory

    having had one visit there already, I decided to take the wife and kids along to the Witch Pie factory in Thong Lor Soi 1.



    It's actually quicker to go there via sukhumvit 53, which has Thong Lor BTS station at the mouth of the soi. 200m into soi 53, take the first right into thong Lor soi 1. Then walk about about 50m and it is on the left hand side.

    Run by an Irish woman who I am told has lived in Thailand for 40+ years.

    Now the first time I went the service was diabolical because she was not there, but today she was and everything was fine, though the size of the add on portions was noticably smaller. Not that she was being mean, I think they messed up before.

    Anyway, junior ordered a Chicken and mushroom pie with mashed potato, mushy peas and onion gravy.



    My wife and I both had the steak and kidney pie.



    Both those pies were 90 THB, with the 3 add ons being 50B extra.

    The youngest had a baked bean pie, with mashed potato only.



    No accounting for the tastes of children, but he did seem to enjoy it.

    I had a heineken, the wife and junior shared a pot of tea and the runt had a Sprite.

    Total cost was 750 THB.

    the verdisct upon the meal can be seen clearly by the end reult of 10 minutes with junior.



    he thoroughly enjoyed it and was set up for an afternoon trip to the cinema at MBK.

    We'll certainly be going back again.

    Nice thread, good pics. I'm hungry.

    I'll have the chicken and mushroom. Can I replace the mushy peas with a second Heineken?

    I Looove Pies, really am addicted to them, I had a part share in a Pie factory in NZ .
    Had to to get out as i was starting to look like (take yr pick from any number of fat bastards on this forum)
    When I land in OZ first thing I do is make a bee line for where they sell pies, buy two and sit in the corner indulging myself.
    Dunno If I would go for a baked bean pie tho'.
    Do they make good pies where you come from (Dubbo wasn't it?) Willy ?

    erm, pretty much anywhere in Aus makes good pies Peter!

    on another note I was at a wedding last night, and the fella was a kiwi, so he was given a Haka.

    The indo's at the reception had never seen anything like it!

    Aussie pies are nuffin' speshal.

    What I can't understand, and there's two things really; why you bothered to go back to this place after lousy service the first time and why you went all the way to MBK for the cinema when there is another Major Cineplex around the corner?
    Mortals you defy the Gods, I sentence you to travel among unknown stars, until you find the Kingdom of Hades, your bodies will stay as lifeless as stone.

    The food was great the first time, the people serving were thrown out of wack by the fact that two people hadn't shown, including the owner.

    I'll give anyone a second chance if I feel they deserve it. My ego isn't so big that I can't tolerate some inconvcenience from people who are trying hard.

    as for why I went there to the cinema at MBK.

    a) you know where I live?
    b) you know any of the other things I needed to do that day?
    c) You know the timings of the film I went to see?

    feel free to question my actions when you feel you understand the full facts.

    Big on the Pies myself PP.

    Went to a Bread shop in Matakana in the weekend.Fcuk me if they didn't have THE best pies I've ever tasted.On the weekends they sell out of pies.Yep they sell 600 pies a day.

    Steak/cheese and bacon pie is just to die for...same with the steak and mushroom.Pastry is just right and they are chokka full of filling.Meat just melts in ya mouth.

    600 pies in a day is a fair effort indeed.

    I do love pies, but the sad thing is, i have had so many bad ones.

    i even gave up eating sausages for 3 years becuse I couldn't find anything worthy of the name. Rarely eat them in Thailand either.

    Just brought a few myself, these are from the Western wholesale meat Co. Will bang it in the convection oven (People that micro Zap then should be shot) and give you my critique. From the outside the pastry looks to be too short, but the proof is in the eating, just wait for the pie to up to temperature and the beer down to temperature and all will be revealed.

    I had reasons to go to MBK and Paragon afterwards. Paragon, the timing wasn't convenient so we chose MBK.

    I hope your furrowed brow is now ironed flat honey.
