A meat pie shop.

AO the fat content is the a major factor in a good sausage, I to think the pork here is OK,though there farming methods very different to our home countries pork and the climate.

Agreed hence I add fat even when making my copycat "southern sausage patties" I just add fat from the pigs belly.

Smart cookie you wife supply the product,don't go to the expense of opening the outlet

Actually it was my idea to use existing outlets as she wants to have her own place and she has moved over 1,000 products in the last 6 weeks. SHE ALSO MAKES COOKIES...............

Problem is I drink the profits when delivering the produce.

Have been approached only yesterday by a bar owner who wants 50 of each product per week. Also Shenenigans want to move her produce so all is looking promising.

For those that are looking for great meats and others try Smithfields located in North Pattaya. Their hamburger patties are delicious.

AO the Belly is good.

Slightly off topic anyone know why pork ribs in Thailand are more expensive than meat.?

[Horatio Hornblower]

Ye but you not make the excellent product.

Their display cabinet looks a bit empty...was it a busy day at the pie shop or do they just know their customer base


or does it took like this earlier in the day ???




BTW... Next door to the Pieshop is a Bar,I noticed they had a sign up saying "FREE PIE or FREE W*NK with your first pint".

So I went in and there was a 'fat Isaan Lass' behind the Bar

I said to her "Are you the girl who gives the free w*nks?"

She smiled and said seductively " "Yes I am hansom man ".

I replied ."Well go and wash your hands sweetheart ,and get me one of those Chunky Steak and Kidney Pies..I'm starvin' "

[nidhogg]

whereby I deliver them .

Low profile on that LT. Always some cnut out there who would bring a farang down, just because......

[Dillinger]

Nidhog, you'd be thinking of Yorkies most likely. Not sure if they're still in business but their pies were not good.

Their pork pies are nice if you put them in the oven for 15 minutes to crisp up the soft pastry

[grasshopper]

Bought two of the new shop's pies. Beef ones and I think 150 bht per. demolished the pepper chunky beef post haste and bunged t'other in freezer. Quite good but would prefer if left to brown in oven a little more and firm up the base.
Best pies I ate were in school footy canteen,more oval than round. Put on weight when rostered on same ....... Glad, sort of, when the kids finished school. Two reasons, the fees and the bloody pies.

[Loy Toy]

My wife's pies you can pick up in you hands and eat and a little gravy may run down your forearms which you can lick off which is an Aussie custom.

She also adds a few chunks of cubed veal to her beef and onion pies which adds to the culinary experience.

At present she does chicken curry, lamb curry and beef and onion and her sausage rolls are the best in Thailand by far.

The pastry is the secret and as a master pastry chef she has nailed the perfect combo.

Her pies are on average 100 baht ex-works and the sausage rolls 80 baht.

[Storekeeper]

^You're 100% right there Nige. But at least he's trying something that Pattaya has never had before, .

Not 100% sure, but have a feeling there have been a couple of pie shops previously in and around Patts?

Think there was a decent butchers along Jomtien that also did good pies?

Sorry, been a while now.

There were at least three places I used to pick up frozen pies. One in Naklua, one in Jomtien close to Pratumnak and one close to the old Carrefour.

[beerlaodrinker]

Good deal,I would happily pay that, is her pastry light and flaky? Trick is to not skimp on good quality butter with the pastry or so I'm told, it's got me fucked why I can't get a great pie or sausage roll here in Lao, They seem to be able to manage to knock up a fuckin croissant due to there French influence, but that's all the kunts taught them fuk croissants. They are poove, If Lao airlines had a Vientiane to Pattaya direct flight I could get LT to put the produce on the plane, but on the downside that would bring hordes of the unwashed visa runners and soap Dodgers, better not make it to easy eh?

[Jools]

I've visited about three times since they opened. Very good staff with a good sense of humor. The pies are top notch, as well.

H can u elaborate for me please, made salami a few months back , turned out very dry and crumbly, very good flavour and guess the fat content is/was to low. cheers for feed back.

[PeeCoffee]

On another "Isaan-based" forum Tinnies Australian Pie Shoppe in Pattaya got a very fine review.

[aging one]

I like 25% fat content, sometimes 20 is okay with a course grind. For me I add pork fat from the back to the ground pork to get the ratio right. The fat keeps it moist and the flavour is absorbed more. Good luck.

[lob]

cheers AO

[lob]

while i think of it does anyone know where i can get the false casings for salami, in pats please. i used pigs intestine last time, salami is to thin.

[Humbert]

Gee, meat pies what a find.

[Headworx]

^Humbert there's always been meat pies available around Thailand. And they've always been shit. This guy's pies aren't cheap compared to the rest, but they're way better than the mystery bags of poor pastry and cheap fillings everyone else is dealing up.

[Bettyboo]

A good meat pie shop should be commended. Good luck to the fella that started it, hope he has the business and maintains quality for many years to come. Just a nice option to have if you live around that area; what's not to like?

Right, I'm off to Burger King!

[Headworx]

^If you've ever had pies in Oz or NZ, which I have no doubt you have, these are equally as good or better than you'll find in most pie shops/bakeries down that way. But so they should be, the guy + his Thai wife and her sister had a successful pie shop in Tasmania. They sold it, looked at opening another shop in another state, then decided to set up in Thailand instead. And there's no end of customers who are glad they did!. His latest creation is a sea scallop mornay pie, which was his biggest seller in Oz but it's taken him some time to source the right ingredients to replicate it here. They're sublime

[Bettyboo]

^If you've ever had pies in Oz or NZ

I worked as a glazier's mate for six months in Sydney many moons ago, and the highlight was lunchtime pies!

They're sublime

Good news for the local community; hope they support him with their custom.

My wife's pies you can pick up in you hands and eat and a little gravy may run down your forearms which you can lick off which is an Aussie custom.

She also adds a few chunks of cubed veal to her beef and onion pies which adds to the culinary experience.

Her pies are on average 100 baht ex-works and the sausage rolls 80 baht.

Where can your lady's pies be bought from loy toy?

[jabir]

I do like a good poi so had a go when it opened, but first thing as I walked in was the stench of cheap/rotten/burnt oil. Could be the munchers in there didn't notice, but haven't been there since.

Same with the Jolly Friar in Jomtien and soi LK, never been back.
