Pies in Hua Hin
Re: The best Pork Pie in Hua Hin
M (mezzanine) is sometimes said to be the 1st floor. Some elevators indicate G M 2. I've never seen G M 1. G can sometimes be represented by an L (lobby). Most Chinese buildings skip 4, meaning 5 is really 4. Many western buildings skip 13 meaning 14 is 13. No porky pies here. Pete

And the condo I stay at in Bkk has 'A' where 13 should be. No trace of pork pies or pizza here!

I found out quite by chance this afternoon that in Thailish, "porcupine" is pronounced "porkypie". So beware as what you get for supper may not be what you think. Pete

Re: The best Pork Pie in Hua Hin
You do know that these things are made in Phuket? I buy the chicken or mince sometimes, but they are expensive at 120 Baht. The smaller pork pie is 100 Baht, but I have not tried the one I bought yesterday yet.caller wrote:I hate all this talk of pork pies, I now have one in the fridge from that aussie brand available at VM.

Re: The best Pork Pie in Hua Hin
No I didn't know they were made in Phuket, but I doubted they were genuinely from Australia. When I said 'aussie' brand I was really referring to the 'aussie pie' logo they use, which is how I refer to them. I have bought a steak pie from them that was okay, so that was my one and only previous experience with them.Nereus wrote:You do know that these things are made in Phuket?

But the pork pie I had was far from good, it was pretty tasteless and even Colemans couldn't come to the rescue. Nor did the pastry case seem classic pork pie to me and I threw half of it away. A failed experiment, IMO. But it would be interesting to get a 2nd opinion.

Re: The best Pork Pie in Hua Hin
Well, YUK! I only bought the horrible thing because of this thread. I defrosted it overnight, plus out of the fridge a couple of hours before heating it up. Used the turbo oven at 200 degrees C for 15 minutes, despite the instructions stating 10 minutes. The crust on the pastry looked good, but when I opened it up a watery mess oozed out! Tasteless crap!caller wrote:But the pork pie I had was far from good, it was pretty tasteless and even Colemans couldn't come to the rescue.

Just wondering if the thing had been defrosted during shipment? All of the other types that I have had have been good. Usually cook them the same way, except about 25 minutes as they are a lot bigger.

Re: The best Pork Pie in Hua Hin
To be honest, I don't get this thing about eating pork pies hot, as an important ingredient is jelly, that's probably the watery mess that oozed out! Mind you, I wouldn't recommend eating that particular pork pie cold either.Nereus wrote:Well, YUK! I only bought the horrible thing because of this thread.

Re: The best Pork Pie in Hua Hin
I think it is definitely a Northern thing, and the liquid jelly mixes very well with the mushy peas. However, I love my pork pies chilled as well. I tend to eat the lid, and then send my tongue in hunting the jelly.
