When the plate arrived I could say only.... WOW... it was huge... really... On the photos it doesen’t look so big but in the real life it was. Generous portions from every items, fresh, crispy salads, very nice and wide choice of the add-ons... ( 3 kind of salad leafs and 3 add-on items are free, over this 8 baht / each ) I liked especially the toast cubes, the pumpkin and sunflower seed options... a salad paradise... almost can’t finish it... Only one criticism, the size of the dressing was a little frugal for this size of the salad, but I managed, being it enough...
Verdict: Highly recommended, I will be back....
264 baht with a soda water.... a side note, it could be cheaper if not to choose the two extra addd-ons 50-55 bah / each... the tuna and the shrimps... Next time I will miss the shrimps, they were almost tasteless as everywhere in Thailand... ( still can’t understand the reason )
OK guys, the last post from me.... anyway a human puddle....

There are several ways to lay out 4 meatballs, so I wouldn't make much of that, but Gabor's plate did have more items than mine.
It's his charm and elan that account for the difference, I suppose.
I probably paid more for mine too!
I think we ate two different dishes... your probably was ordered from the menu, mine was a special set lunch menu... They publish every day, their daily specials on the FB.

Good review. Thank you.
Would like to try this place as I like this type of food. Can you give any info on location (3rd Road is rather long).
Thanks....

Lamb meat balls, hummus and pita...the perfect combination for my very own taste....Mehmet all the times photoes a whole all you can eat buffet when promote his meals, so I had some doubts about the size of the meal... but when I saw the 4 pieces, nicely sized meatballs on the fire my doubts evaporated...
The hummus... I like the hummus as a meal, but it wasnt something I expected... first of all it was hot... WTF ? Guys and gals.... it was fantastic, the very best hummus I ever tried in my life... Mehmet explained it was the turkish version, not the well known lebanese...
The meatballs... I’m not an easy pleased guy, but again... fantastic... the srong lamb flavor, not dry, but juicy, the taste of the fire on it...it was minced on the perfect consistency ( I hate when the minced meat is a cream ) MMMMmmmmm.... The salsa ... nothing else I can say again... faboulous, full with mediterranean flavors, herbs... and also big enough portion on the plate.
Well... about the pita bread... it was OK, but I felt it a little bit raw, despite in front of my eyes was baked in the grill... maybe not enough. I just tried the pilaf rice and the turkish mash ( trying to be on the diet ) and they were also nicely made.
All in all I ate one pita from the two, the hummus, the meatballs and the salsa and I felt after the lunch, I will explode, I’m so full.
The whole menu was 300 baht including a small bottled cola / sprite / water.
Verdict: Highly recommended, it was worth to walk in the heat...
PS: As usual I wanted to sit outside... a personal fan very soon arrived to cool my body... first class service.

I wanted today a roast lunch and accidentally found their offer... pig / beef roast lunch menu. I thought, ok...anyway, too hot... meat, veggies, yorkshire pudding and gravy, all I needed and a few metres from my home...
When I asked how about a mixed plate, the service girl shaked her head... can not, beef or pork. Ok, beef. The meat slices were really thin, but at least 4 slices... the meat was a little bit dry, so the slim slices were useful to eat it. I don’t know the drieness was because of the beef meat, but the lamb roasts I tried before, all were soft and juicy. The gravy on the meat was enough and pretty tasty.
The veggies looked fresh and were cooked perfectly... The yorkshire pudding was something different I remembered from my previously experiences, but it was very good for my taste, at least the side was’t burnt.
I don’t really liked the baked potatoes, they were lukewarm and melted on the plate, so it was hard to catch it with a fork. Also received a sensationally tasty horse radish sauce in a side dish, which one I liked very much, despite I didn’t had an idea how to use it... I just used it to make more colourful the bites ( still many to learn ) ... The little sausage wrapped in bacon was a small piece of 7/11 hot dog sausage...
Verdict: It wasn’t bad, but either wasn’t something to remember, I would say it was value, but sadly I can’t to compare this 225 baht plate with the Retox Game On „ mini” Sunday roast lamb for 199 baht. In the Retox Game on I felt the touch of culinary art ( except the veggies, which ones were way better today ) , the today’s roast was just a correct plate.
Big bottle soda ( no lemon slice in the glass ): 45 baht

From yesterday I’m on a diet, I must to loose the 8 kilo I gained back in Hungary.... Anyway, I wanted a Sunday roast and voila, I see on the web the Retox Game on offers small Sunday roast... Let see it...
And bang, my diet in the bin, this monster arrived...
On the first picture one slide hide the other slide of the roast.
Of course I choose the lamb option... the roast was very good, I liked it very much, the only moan about the weak lamb taste, what was enjoyable only at the fatty parts. Also received a small something, ( third photo ) what looked for me a mini sausage wapped in bacon ... I liked it too, it had a stronger taste.
My newly discovered favourite ( thanx for this group ) the Yorkshire pudding was excellent for my amateur taste ( I mean I’m not an expert I simple liked it ) and it was crispy at the beginning before I sprinkled all the plate with the delicious gravy. The veggies were OK and crispy ( I really liked the steamed cabbages ) , the mash was rich and the oven baked ( ? ) potatoes fine.
Verdict: For me very good food, more, than enough and great value for 199 baht. I’m sure I will be back... at least following my diet.... ( The normal portion costs 299 baht.... I can’t imagine what is on the plate if it was the „ mini „ roast )

Finally given the option to visit the famous Aroy Sunday buffet. The whole experience is different from what I imagined. A huge, but very friendly environment, just like a club.
I liked it very much. Emiel the chef friendly met me personally at the gate of the restaurant, just like any other guests... Yes, guests, not customers... He had always a few good words for the guests, probably the best host I ever seen. Also a real chef, no one second to rest, if not take care the guests, then busy with the food, personally cut the meat and serving every single guests with generous hands.
But let see the foods.. The appetizer table was rich and various. The bruschetta was fine, but I don’t liked the toast concept, I prefer the soft, fresh bread variant. The varous salads served in two different size ( I tried the smaller „ in the spoon „ version ) The tuna salad was perfect, it was more a tuna paté....very tasty, served with taste in a small salad canape. I can say the same about the crab salad ( less paté kind... more salad ) I loved very much both of the salads. The egg salad... my nervous point, I’m very picky about it and I know it’s an art to make ( none of my own egg salad I liked I made myself ) It was a perfect egg salad, a holy food, every times I returned to the serving tables eye contacted with it..... But hey... we went because of the meats...
Emiel several times mentioned the argentinian beef... I tought, OK, beef is beef I’m excited about the lamb... The lamb was sensational, real lamb taste, not overcooked, swimming in a tasty fine sauce... Together with the tasty, rich mint sauce it made me an gastronomical erection.... However the gastronomical ejaculation was the beef... Sending the very first bite to my face... I almost fall down from the chair... strong, sensational taste, the meat melted in my mouth. My friend I was with, just looked on my face, probably the structure of my face changed from the delight.... Unforgettable experience. The carrots from the lamb sauce were perfect, the potato side ( baked potato ? ) was delicious and fine, despite it was served in a buffet, not freshly made for the food. The sauteed cauliflower was too crispy for my taste, despite I like the veggies crispy... For me the sauteed veggies better if cooked soft.
My friend remembered me I missed the liver pate... and he was right to remind me, it was really good on the soft, fresh bread... I enjoyed it a lot. And now the ribs.... Maybe I was spoilt with the ribs back in Hungary, Emiel also mentioned me his problems to find the right ones. It was served with a fabuolus smokey sauce, but I had to mining the meat pieces from between the rib bones. It was good and no matter if it is in an all you can eat buffet, you can take as much as you want... and I saw, it was a very popular item for the guests. And sorry... no room already to try the chicken...
The dessert was the usual „ serve yourself from the box „ ice cream, but I liked it very much, I took twice.
But remember I’m easy pleased if talking about the ice creams. I just asked Emiel what kind of coffee they serve and he started to list them: Arabica, equator etc etc... My original question was about: Nescafe or real coffe ? :-D He showed me the huge, italian professional coffe making machine and personaly made my arabica espresso ( wide options from latte to espresso or ristretto and many more ) It was real and quality coffe.... like a hammer beat... I felt, like I was stoned...in a good meaning.
Verdict: Simple super, king size value, very highly recommended.
Buffet: 300 baht
Soda: 40 baht ( please teach the service to cut right the lime slice to gain the juice... I know, I made my own cut wrongly for years )
Espresso: 45 baht

Today and tomorrow on the menu as a special...

When Blondies was opened Darren, the boss or something similar asked the Breakfast Club Pattaya group on the Facebook to recommend him a new burger.... me and an other guy won the competition... Too bad, they are - Darren and the Blondies - already split ... however Darren isn't the guy who forget his promises.... so he offered us to make for us our burger, we created... It became so popular on the BCP , he added this item to his special menu in the Sportmans....just to share with you the co " founder's " and my own report:
His report:
Lamb burger - Sportsmans Pub
Gábor and me are the grandfather of the new Lamb Burger with Cheddar and Yoghurt-mint sauce, originally created for Blondies...
We finally tried it at Sportsmans Pub.
The Lamb Burger came with mixed sweet potatoe and regular fries. And how can I put it in words, just fantastic: Intense lamb flavor on every bite, yoghurt mint sauce not too strong, but a perfect match. My best lamb burger by far in Pattaya. Gábor, do u agree?Big thx to Darren Low. We will surely order that again.
My report:
Martin ... you already wrote almost everything, nothing to disagree... Even used my jolly joker photo I posted on my time line tongue hangulatjel ... you missed to make yours, because you was too hurry to jump on the burger I mean photo shows the full menu.... I will go eat in the future only alone.... OK, just joking mate, you made a great report.
OK, now my very own thoughts... The burger was on the border... only one piece of patty in the bun, so as usual I started to eat with my fingers... but I was wrong... It was still huge, so I better raped myself again and ate it on the civilised way, with forks and knives... ( the reason you could make the segment photo of my burger ) You was more brave, than me, you fighted with the burger between your fingers, sometimes I saw only the top of your head dive in the plate...good job...I failed... hehe, I tried a few times also with my fingers and you asked me: Are you hungry ?? Hahaha... yes I was...
I’m proud of us being the creators of this masterpiece... I added the idea of the lamb burger ( what it seems new only for me ) , you added something much more important: the mint yoghurt sauce... The first bite.... at thrill on my spine... yessss... the strong taste of the lamb... AND... the strong mint flavor... Simple perfect harmony... However without the talented hands of Darren both of us would be only dreamers... Just one criticism... The salad you don’t even touched ( a great idea IMO... OK.. Ok... I like everything with some veggies or salads, but it is only my own craze...) was served with thai sweet chilli sauce as a dressing ( I’m only hope I was right ) what idea I liked very much... BUT...some spicy taste disturbed the whole experience... I doubt it was the dressing, probably some jalapenos in the burger... I would throw it out... if it was the situation, despite I like very much the pickled jalapenos... but not in this burger.... The lamb flavor and the mint aromat is enough to be perfect...
One more thing...I never ever tried the sweet potato french fries... when I wanted my usual traditional french fries, Darren with a pawky smile offered me the mix... and he was right... I liked more the sweet potato fries.... ( the darker fries ) Verdict: Fucking good grin hangulatjel-

Looks good but how much is beef and how much is filler?
I don't know....

Blondies: Double cheeseburger
It was a challenge to find the place as no Blondies around, good, that I remembered the „ You never walk alone „ tag. However the young waitress is a gift for the restaurant, when I recognized the menu, she was really helpful and what is important very kind and always smile. I don’t complicated too much the order with side orders etc, just burped out: Double cheeseburger. Without a wink she told me Ok, despite it wasn’t on the menu.
And a monster arrived...
Literally I couldn’t push it in my mouth, very soon a mess in my plate, my hand full with ketchup and I realized, I lost the battle against the burger, I must eat first time in my life on a civilized way a burger : with fork and knife.
Follownig my cuts, you may see the monster patties.
The beef patty I bet not the same like in the Sportmans, it seeemed me a bit drier and saltier, but still very ok. I couldn’t walk too much following this burger ( with french fries it would be a deadly strike on me ) so dragged myself to the next massage salon having a foot massage ... and digest.
And now my friends, the wonder....I watch on the bill and I see a number I can’t believe:
130 baht... I repeat it slowly: onehundred thitry baht.
Cola light: 30 baht
Verdict: Maybe not the best burger in my life, but still nice and looking on the size and the price: Mega value.

Thanx Atlas for the story
Fraser’s weekly lunch special: Chicken and Mushroom Pie
Waiting for the pie I just thinking, what a crazy world serve spoon for a pie... maybe becouse this is Thailand and the thais eat the pies with spoon... But I was wrong, see later...
Something surprisingly new format landed on my table, give me the challenge, how to start to eat this UFO ?
No any better idea, cut in the middle. And the pastry bubble bursted.
At this point I was a bit disappointed, a white soup in the bowl, no any signs of the huge chicken chunks, nor the mushrooms and the first bite burned my tongue.
I played a bit with my phone, waiting the soup being colder... but tasting the delicious flavour in my taste? I couldn’t wait... The „ soup „ in reality a creamy sauce with fine aromats and mushroom taste... The pastry was first class as usual in Fraser’s and as I gobble the sauce with the pastry, the tender, juicy chicken and mushroom chunks slowly appeared, overall a huge portion dish. It was a gift from the life...
225 baht including a beer or a soft drink
Verdict: I can calmly say: the best pie in my life. ( OK, my pie experiences are seriously limited, but still... )

Tinnies: Roasted lamb pie
Spoiled by the Fraser’s pies I have ambivalent thoughts... The pie was good. The pastry was good, but still not the same league with the Fraser’s. The filling was good, I felt the taste of the lamb, it was tasty. But still only 4 chunk of lamb, instead of the 15-20 chunks in the Fraser’s wagyu pie. The mint sauce was good... but not the same league I got in Fraser’s ( true with the roasted lamb ) The salad and the cole slaw was good, but extra charge. The Fraser’s pie was 2-3 times bigger, but a little bit thinner.
Fraser’s pie + french fries or salad + beer / soft drink 225 baht
Tinnies pie: 170 baht + salad 50 baht + salad and french fries 70 baht + soft drink 40 baht / water 20 baht ( 245 baht in my case )
Which is the better value ?
If the salad would added complimentary I would call it my second home...
The fraser's pie:

Fraser’s: Chicken curry, weekly special.
I must to state I’m not a curry expert, so only my own subjective thoughts... hehe, as usual.
The curry was a great experience, generous portion wigh huge chicken, carrot, potato chungs.... AND... I never heard about it before, pineapple chunks too... For my taste it was a gift, made the food fresher, the tastes more thrilling, just like the mango chutney was served in a small jar. ( the raisins were there with the same intention, but I simple don't like them ) The popadom and the rice was was it is, the naan was mediocre, but still good. The portion was so generous, I don’t even touched the rice and left the venue filled and happy.
225 baht including a half pint beer or a soft drink. ( Tonic water for me )
Verdict: A very nice composition for my own taste, I liked it very much.

Laong’s bistro: Friday lunch buffet
I raped myself and dragged myself from the poolside to the restaurant..... killing heat.... Entering to the restaurant with the hope I will chill down, but the temperature was only lighter lower, so decided to sit outside... and for my surprise it was pretty comfortable, the wind chilled me down.
Let see the Offer.... There was some kind of light soup, but it looked so light like the soup in the canteen of my former high school.... Ok, the appetizers. The salad bar contained cucumber and tomato with two kind of creamy sauces... it was fine, my pet hate if no any crispy veggie or salad. The bruschetta ( tomato sandwich ) was perfect, soft, fresh white bread the tomato topping was tasty with nice herbs, I liked it very much. The chicken wings were correct, nothing special... it was soft and not dry, like in many other places. The german meatballs were soft, tasty not dry... I liked it really much. The Cornish pasty .... it was the calling word: Lamb inside. maybe there was, but I felt nothing from the lamb... On the other side it had a really strong caramellized cheese taste I miss so much from the tastes back home. It was my favourite, I simple adored it.
The mains: ( as you can see bruschetta and pasty again... ) The indonesian ( ? ) fried noodle was perfect garnish for the sweet and sour chicken, which one was also tasty and correct, however I would add some more veggies to it. I don’t know what the ragout was, but it was a bit similar to a hungarian dish cooked with red wine... I liked it very much.
It was strange to me, bolognese on the menu, but no cheese on the buffet table... when I mentioned it, the staff kindly served me a small jar grated parmiganno cheese. The bolognese ragout was somehow plain, no strong tastes.... I can say, correct, but boring. First I tought the pasta was al dente ( my boorish, I like it cooked to soft ) but not, it was fine, just on some places it was simple parched.
249 baht
Small soda water 45 baht ( ! )
Verdict: All in all good value for a light lunch in the hot summer.

Don't you mean it's a very BIG fork?
Chicken Breast wrapped in Prosciutto, Roast Mediterranean Vegetables, Pea Purée, Capers, Butter Sauce - 180B Thursday Special
This looks really inviting... BTW... If you like so much the small portions ( I know, not to save the ingredients, just being trendy ... ) why don't you introduce a so called " degustation menu " ? For example I'm not a chef, not an expert, just a simple customer... I eat only once a day apart my morning fruits, so I want to fill my belly... and I'm not a big eater, a traditional english brekkie would kill me... for the whole and for the next day...
