butterisbetter Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 Just in case you thought flaky buttercrust pies were mythical objects, here are a couple photos of a slice from Butter is Better. One photos is about as close up as the rules of common decency allow. The slice in question happens to be Strawberry Rhubarb. But we also regularly make blueberry pie (when we can get wild blueberries - domestic ones, even when organic, don't have much flavor) and apple pie. We occasionally do cherry pies and we're planning on doing an apricot pie, too. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uptheos Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 Mr B is B can you actually get 'wild' blueberries here? I thought they needed a winter period to become dormant. Wild blueberries are a fantastic food! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

butterisbetter Posted July 3, 2012 Author Share Posted July 3, 2012 Mr B is B can you actually get 'wild' blueberries here? I thought they needed a winter period to become dormant. Wild blueberries are a fantastic food! We put on our hiking boots, gird ourselves with a basket and go to the frozen food section of Makro. Okay, it's a shopping cart. But what is a shopping cart if not a basket on wheels? You're right that wild blueberries wouldn't grow in this climate. There are cultivated blueberries being grown not just here but even in Indonesia. I haven't tried them because even if they were delicious, the cost of a pie made with them would be astronomical.

As for where to find it. Usually we have pie at all 3 of our branches. Our bakery/diner is located on Changklan Road just a bit south of the intersection where Pantip Plaza is.

GPS 18° 49.424’ N 99° 0.625’ E We also have an outlet at Nim City right next to the Rim Ping supermarket there. Nim city is located across the Mahidol Rd from Airport Plaza.

The frozen blueberries are good, but also pricey. I buy about 5 packets a week and eat them every morning. Blueberry pie is great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orang37 Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 Looking at those pictures this mouth comes as close to drooling as a human body's radioactivity-impaired salivary gland can manage Ahh, memories of picking and eating wild blackberries in Florida as a child, coming home stained blue. best, ~o:37; Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nattydread Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 £7 or $10.50 for a pie that by the looks of the 1/6th size i could easily devour a whole one at one sitting.......a rice field worker would have to slave for almost 2 days in the hot sun to buy that..........a tad overpriced me thinks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
realthaideal Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 Oh, Natty. It's been said before/ done to death - both for BIB and for other quality establishments in Chiang Mai. BIB will no doubt have something to say, but I can't help biting: You pay for quality. If you want something that will taste as good as anything you've ever had in your life, then you go to BIB. It's that simple. And what's a pie in your country cost, anway ? The price is competitive, all with natural ingredients, no mixes, sourced in this exotic land. You go bake a better pie for less ! And then, as to quantitiy ? Yeah, we big old Farangs can throw back some large quantities at time, but in this case it's up to you whether you need quality or quantity. I believe you could grab yourself the corn pie at McD's for about 30B. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
