balo Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 I think a price range from 80 to 120 baht would be more acceptable and correct pricing, but you're paying for the location. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edd Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 I think a price range from 80 to 120 baht would be more acceptable and correct pricing, but you're paying for the location. Well I travelled about 30 minutes each way to try them. So not convent for me but if it had been a good pie I would have traveled 3 times as far. Ha- Ho!! Still hoping for a miracle. Come on Pattaya You can do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcfish Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 Do they have those pointy plastic tomoato sauce dispenser, where you injected the pie with as much tomato sauce as possible without bursting it..

JohnC Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 I have the tried the London Pie Shop on Chaipruk2 the old Western Wholesale Meat shop, tried steak & ale & Chicken Pot both were tasty and at 85baht well worth it. Don't think I will venture down to this new venture to spend 120 baht on the off chance they might be half decent. Yes I suspect it is prime location attracting higher rent hence the expensive pies.

TheCruncher Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 You're right about the pastry - excellent. And to me that makes up for the filling that lacks a little something, although I think bland is too strong a word. Let's not forget he's using Thai beef, so the cards are stacked against him from the start. Nobody forces him to use Thai beef. Yeah, 150B is a bit high, but compared to the competition I rate them as much better value for money. I haven't tried the vege patty yet, I'll give it a go today. So he's making a pie using cheap ingredients and is still overpriced? I might ask him to get some prime Kiwi beef cuts and do a special batch of 20 beef pies for me. He seemed like a nice bloke so may be prepared to do that. Yeah he might be a nice bloke and willing to do that, but taking in account the price of the one with the Thai beef, that will be 400 Baht then.

rws85 Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 (edited) I feel sorry for you blokes living here on a pension complaining about having to spend 120฿, really sucks a Pie is going to break you bank account! I had a Roast lamb pie today, was very tasty. Will even consider going to get one tomorrow, either before or after watching the UFC.

Jingthing Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 (edited) No need to rag on pensioners. It's in a higher rent location so if they can't sell their product at a viable price level, it won't be a go, so they're trying to make it go. Nobody's forcing anyone to buy there so shut your pie holes, or don't, and buy some pies. As far as the question, are they good enough, that's going to a subjective thing, like pizza. You won't know for sure for your own taste unless you give it a try. Edited January 2, 2016 by Jingthing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rws85 Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 I hope he succeeds and manages to make money. Although I don't feel they are the best pies I've every had. They are by the far the best I have had in Thailand and better than some I have had back home as well. After missing a good Aussie pie since being here, it is nice to have the option of getting a decent one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tolley Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 If they are using thai beef that is a bit of a turn off. The pastry looks like the good stuff from what I can see in the photos so the go would be to buy the chicken pies. Even thou I am an Aussie the best pies and sausage rolls I reckon I have had were in NZ with Perth WA an honourable second. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThaiBob Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 Had a chunky beef pie there last night and a friend the chicken. I especially enjoyed the crust although my center was lukewarm and lacking in sauce. The kitchen is now downstairs which was part of the problem with Sunrise and SubsnSteaks (kitchen upstairs). Salad and fries combo was 70 baht. I view this as a lunch place and will be back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tolley, lf you're ever in Gin Gin, Qld(NOT Gin Gin WA),& heading north, there is a pie shop in the main street on your left called the "Traveler's Rest". You can't miss it, it has a huge cut-out of a Crab above the shop. They sell a variety of pies & are THE BEST pies that l have ever tasted. Beware if you get a chunky beef, they are also full of delicious gravy & if you bite into it while sitting in your car (as l did!), then you will squirt gravy all over the steering wheel! l've tried a lot of pies from around the world but these are definitely the best. They weren't cheap, at $5 per pie, but well worth eating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In Thailand? Sorry, but for 180 baht I can get a Sunday roast with choice of pork, chicken or beef, roast potatoes, cabbage, peas, carrots and Yorkshire pudding. More than I can finish.

When it comes to food I am always prepared to pay more for good quality. And conversely if a pie costs 2 dollars and is crap then I wouldn't waste my time but plenty of people put cost before quality so each to their own I guess.

KittenKong Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 180 baht is cheap for a roast dinner. Where is that? Sunday roasts are widely available starting from about 120B. Admittedly the cheapest ones do not have all the extras or the most expensive cuts of meats. From around 150B one would expect the extras. Soi Buakow area has plenty of choice, and there must be hundreds of places on the dark side doing such meals. I quite like the Starlight bar at 150B.
