Title: Korat Chef
Post by: Nobby on June 10, 2014, 10:25:43 AM
Met a mate the other day in Ubon who was raving about the quality of the western foods ordered/despatched from Korat Chef



http://koratchef.com/


 Looking at the menu, it seems huge and he said not only were the meat pies the best in Thailand, but the BEST EVER he had the delight to eat including when 'back 'ome!' and cheap too!'.


 A very professional and efficient service, to boot.
 I guess if they can 'bus' stuff to Ubon, Surin or Buriram would be no problem?


 Has anyone used this firm or tasted their wares?

I reckon you and Alan the Builder must be on commission!    :)


I had one on Sunday. It was good but I wouldn't put it in the best I have ever had though.

At 85 Baht for 250g (per website) they will need to be good.

I get most of my pies, sausages, etc. from the Korat Chef. Definitely the best around in my opinion.

Has anyone tried Steve Buriram Mans Pies.
I Recently purchased some pies and curries from the Buriram pie man, have to say the quality of the pies are superb.
The pastry is delicious and the meat tender and lean.
All in all a wonderful pie and at a very reasonable price.
The curries were also very enjoyable.
If you haven't tried them give them a go, easier than going through Korat  especially if you're from the Buriram area.

I'm down to my last spoonful of Bovril, getting desperate..........

50 if you collect .
They are on par with Staffords but I prefair stafford chicken and ham and chicken and mushroom !
The pastry is the light golden type I like .

All good baby baby ...

Did you like the pastry Co co ?
Was the beef tender ?
And last but not least was the gravy nice ?

I have also tried Staffords pies and they are nowhere near as good as Steve the piemans pies.
The whole pie is inferior, the pastry is not as good and the quality of meat is inferior as well.
I also think they are cheaper than Staffords.
Give them a try Alan you wont be disappointed.
Hope I have been of some help we  all need a quality pie.

The pie was good. Buttery taste to the pastry.

I prefer the filling of Buriram pies, packed with meat, - but then I also like kidney with my steak.

I don't recall anything special about the gravy......... think I may have to try another.

I agree the food at the night market is very nice and not expensive,but sometimes you just need some traditional food from back home,and a good pie with peas and chips hits the spot. hungry1

Did you like the pastry Co co ?
Was the beef tender ?
And last but not least was the gravy nice ?

I mentioned these prices to a friend of mine. He was quite surprised as he had been charged more per pie, actually the prices on the Korat Chef website. So, he sent them an email asking about their prices. This is the reply:

"The prices on our website are for retail, and are correct.

We offer a discount to trade customers who want to sell or use our products. Trade customers place high volume orders and we are able to offer them discounts.

The prices you mention don't seem accurate to me though.

85 Baht for a 250g Steak & Kidney pie is expensive - that is 34 Baht/100g.

By way of comparison I think Buriram Pies are 65 Baht and are 350g - that is 18.5 Baht/100g

Our steak and kidney pies, and most of our range, are 60 baht.

Specials, such as puddings (65baht) and pies with added stilton cheese (70 baht) are a little more.

Sorry Steve, I misread the website prices.

That makes yours 17 Baht/100g.

Their Jimmy Dean clone sausage is very good. On the pies the Minced Beef & Onion, Chicken and Vegetable and the Korat Chef Special are my favorites. Their Chili Con Carne and Pizza is good also.
 Not the cheapest around but the best taste and quality in my opinion.

I've also had the jimmy dean sausages and yes they are good .
The living room bar / restaraunt stocks some of
Khorat chefs products .
But saying that 80% of the living room bars food is home made .
That's where I got to try the khorats chefs
Beef and gravy pie .
IMO 10 out of 10 .

I have had many of his pies along with Staffords pies also. All of them make a good pie but I think Korat Chefs are the best of the three. All three have good products.

I have tried both,and in my honest opinion the pies from Steve are the best.
The pastry is better, there is more filling, the meat is always lean and tender, and of course a lot cheaper.

To be honest the pastry from the Korat Chef is what makes it so good in my opinion.  Very buttery tasting. Maybe Steve has changed his pastry since I last had his. I found it to be bland compared to the others. Steves are definitely bigger and cheaper.

The beauty of this thread is that it will simply help pie sales.

Those that are pushing Korat Chef's products will not deter aficionados of Buriram Pies away from that product. Alan will never buy a Buriram pie, I doubt that Dave has tried one and Simon will not change from Steve's pies. Life goes on and now even more pies are available in Buriram - as I say, it squeezes out the likes of Staffords. Buriram is indeed fortunate to have such a choice - it had fook all when I first came here.

As always, I will try every product and the loser here (if indeed there is one) is Staffords. I will not change from eating Steve's pies but I will eat Korat pies over Staffords.

I agree with bart  about the pastry being the high point of the Korat pie. Frankly, the filling was no better than many pies from Nookie and nowhere near the content of Steve's.

Staffords is like the poem.

Old Mother Hubbard
Went to the cupboard,
To give the poor dog a bone;
When she came there,
The cupboard was bare,
And so the poor dog had none.

Always forking empty.

Wrong there Ray. I have tried all three and they are all good. Recently,I probably have had more Starfoods pie's than the other two put together.  His Scotch Eggs are however, a personal favourite.

I think its a bit unfair to say by posting details of an alternative company that sells a varied range of foodstuff and not just pies, is 'PUSHING' a brand of pies IMHO.

If it not 'pushing' then I have to question what motive is behind the timing of such promotion.

Agree about the Scotch eggs - they are the best I have had in Thailand and at 3 for 100 Baht they are phenomenal value.
