Pies

Discussions about restaurants, cafes, coffee shops or bars in Cambodia. Feel free to write any reviews you have, whether its the best burger you've had in Phnom Penh or the worse pizza in Kampot, we want to read it! Discussions about Khmer dishes are also in here, or you can leave your own. If you own a restaurant, feel free to let the expat community know about it here so that we can come check it out. Found a favorite cafe or have a place we should avoid? Tell us about it. Asian recipes & questions are always welcome.

If you can find one, auction it off, there’ll be a bidding war amongst the English expats and you’ll be able to retire on the proceeds.

Tesco own band pork pies are pretty good.
Tried some in SHV made by a Pom. Not good.

Homemade pork pies will never be like the Melton Mowbry ones. Sometimes a giant industrial food processing plant makes things better than the humble home baker. Not often, but this is a case in point.

I'm going to the UK in a couple of months and will bring a few back. Then the real auction can begin...

I have dreams of walking into Tesco and filling up one of their ridiculously large trolleys with all things I miss.

True about pork pies here.
Had one one week - hard crust nice filling. Next week nice crust crap filling. Next week - all crap.
Then his mrs started overcharging…

It seems the quality of the ones available at Sainsbury's and Tesco is terrible. They are cheap, £2.80 for 454gm, but the reviews all tell the same tale.

I reckon either Waitrose or M&S one will be better although twice the price.
