There's a Barang Running Around Phnom Penh Selling Meat Pies in Hostess Bars

This is where our community discusses almost anything! While we're mainly a Cambodia expat discussion forum and talk about expat life here, we debate about almost everything. Even if you're a tourist passing through Southeast Asia and want to connect with expatriates living and working in Cambodia, this is the first section of our site that you should check out. Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about. So join in the fun and start new topics, or feel free to comment on anything our community members have already started! We also have some Khmer members here as well, but English is the main language used on CEO.

Pieman...what pastry are you using for your bases and lids? Do you sell anywhere else apart from the hostess bars?

I consider myself a meat pie expert, being a Kiwi 'n all, pies are part of our daily 5...I would like to try your pies in order to write a review.

I shouldn't really contribute as I have no idea what I'm talking about, and I'm racist.
Translation anyone?
Better?

A customer who buys a pie for $4.50 then has $4.50 less in his pocket to spend on beer and lady drinks. Also, pies are messy and smelly and are not really compatible with hostess bars. Who ends up having to throw away the boxes, napkins, forks, half eaten pies, etc.? The bar owner and his staff. It would be much less messy if the pie man were selling ballpark peanuts.

I guess the counter argument to this is "The meat pie hawker provides a convenience for your drinking customers and keeps them inside your bar drinking, when they might otherwise leave in search of pies." I don't like it though. Ban the pie man or charge him rent to do business in the bar. Percentage rent. 45 cents a pie.

Charge the flower girls rent too, it's only fair.

A smart bar owner would have a bar food menu for the drinkers and than get a % or mark up on the food for allowing the customer to eat in his establishment.
What next,someone walking around selling peanuts,popcorn, cotton candy?? :beer3:
Asian bakery's still charge for sauce
is sauce, same as Gravy ( for us americans )
a good pie needs lots of gravy otherwise i find them to dry

Ah, well if they're the same ones that Sundance sell then I won't bother because I've already tried them and they're a poor excuse for a meat pie in my opinion.
