Summary
Country Cob bakery in Melbourne, run by Cambodian-Australian brothers Ryan and Chan Khun, has won Australia's Best Pie award with a Malaysian prawn curry filling. The article tells the story of Ryan's arrival in Australia from Cambodia, his initial unfamiliarity with pies, and how the brothers have since innovated with bold Asian-inspired fillings like satay fish, Cambodian pork, and a forthcoming Singapore chilli crab pie. It explores their journey from factory workers to award-winning bakers, the evolution of the Australian pie, and their ambition to push boundaries further.
