SAGuy 9,413 #1 Posted February 5 (edited) Pies2U (www.pies2u.co) @Terry Tibbs had given me the heads-up on this new pie shop that had opened up between sois 28 and 30 and I had mentioned it a few weeks back. As I was in the area it would be a shame not to go and have a 'butchers' (excuse the pun). Pies2U is quite easy to find. It is about 6-8 minutes from the Phrom Phong BTS station and the nearest landmark is the Address condo building. The shop is quite easy to identify as it is painted in a royal blue: There's a large selection of on-premises baked pies and the owner is a professional chef and he runs it with his Thai wife. They also run daily specials: It is not just a pie takeaway shop, they also have a nicely laid out cafe, with chandeliers! Before ordering I made sure that they had all of the essential condiments: HP sauce, malt vinegar, English mustard. I'll leave the Ketchup for the heathens. I also ordered a coffee, which came with something quite eccentric. I'll refer to this as a Yorkshireman's take on biscotti: When it comes to food, I am a 'back to basics' type of bloke, so I ordered the meat pie set, which included mashed potatoes, mushy peas and strong thick gravy. I also ordered a meat pie and sausage rolls to take away. The main set was very filling and I couldn't manage anything else. The sausage roll pastry had a croissant texture to it and I am sure I could taste butter. Interestingly, they provide suggestions as to how to get the best from their pies: The Menu Summary Excellent quality pies. The pricing is premium and I spent THB 1,000 on 1 meat pie set, (very filling!) 1 meat pie, 2 sausage rolls and 1 Americano. WIR? Yes definitely. I would rate the meat pies as a 9/10 and the sausage roll as an 8/10 (I marked it down as it was the type that is more like a croissant than a standard sausage roll). The cafe and kitchen looked spotless and you could tell that the chef takes great pride in his work. There were 5 staff and the service was also friendly and prompt. The place was full of ex-pats, so I guess it has passed the acid test of authenticity and quality. Thanks very much for the heads-up @Terry Tibbs SAG Edited February 5 by SAGuy Correction 4 1 2 Terry Tibbs, Dabe, sydney69er and 4 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Unavowed 564 #2 Posted February 5 We need a regular @SAGuy food column! I expect that place will be popular with the older ex-pats. But you next challenge is to take a date there and documenting her reaction. That could be very entertaining ..."I don't like!!" 1 1 sydney69er and SAGuy reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rocco 410 #3 Posted February 6 As an American I am not well versed on this topic, but I surely intend to give it a try! When I was in Australia for business, I always loved going to watch footy and enjoy a meat pie or two during the matches. 1 SAGuy reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You can get it as a meal with mash and peas or beans. \' 2 Rocco and SAGuy reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I stayed at the Aloft and went across a few times to Chez LN French Cafe. Excellent Quiche Lorraine (who said real men don't eat quiche) and the Croque Monsieur was pretty good despite being dripping in butter. I do like a good ham and cheese toasty. The coffee was exellent too. 2 Terry Tibbs and SAGuy reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
