Couldn't find a story to go with it, but here's a Cambodian in the news at the Country Cob Kyneton Bakery.




They seem to have some success in the pie and snot block stakes.

Cambodian Wins Best Aussie Pie Comp

There is nothing better than a freshly-baked pie, served piping hot with golden, flakey pastry and a delicious filling, but the flavour that has been crowned ‘Australia’s Best Pie’ is guaranteed to divide opinion.

The best pie in the country was officially selected at an awards ceremony last week, and it was Victoria-based Country Cob Bakery who walked away with the highest accolade, thanks to their gourmet Satay Seafood pie.

Baker Chan Khun, who moved to Australia from his home country of Cambodia in 2004, dreamed up the winning pie, which beat off 1,700 rival pies and pastries at the annual Baking Industry Trade Show, which took place at the Gold Coast Turf Club last Thursday.

The Cambodian-born baker said he got his first taste of a real Aussie pie whilst working in a pie factory in Melbourne, he said: ‘All the workers went down to this portable van for their lunch and kept coming back with these pies. I finally had one and it was a completely different taste — there’s no pastries in Cambodia.”

Every year in NZ and Australia, Cambodian bakers take out the top prizes for meat pie competitions...yet it's still impossible to get a decent (Kiwi/Aussie style) meat pie in Cambodia.

There was a place calls Kiwi Bakery open over a year ago in Siem Reap, tastes exactly just like back home opened by Khmer people from Auckland. Everyone loves their pies but unfortunately it did not last long due to poor management skills.

No, all we have is skulls and grass soup.

I can't believe there is an organization that officially rates meat pies.

The snot block / vanilla slice panel are disappointed your disbelief didn't extend to their expertise.

Were the Aussies caught cheating again & disqualified?

I think the winner should be. Using quality ingredients to make a pie...
Pies are meant to be made from generally inedible scraps left over from the floor of the meatworks. Pies should only ever be consumed whilst attending a football match or during smoko on the building site.
