His first meal in Australia, unfamiliar tastes in a new land. Remembering how he felt after those first few bites, Khun says: âThere is something I donât really like.â Pies were not something he grew up eating in Phnom Penh, but today a metal trophy sits in his office at Country Cob bakery in Springvale in south-east Melbourne.
