  1. Fraser’s today’s black plate menu: Roasted lamb This menu available only today, so I can’t miss it, despite I had different plans. A huge plate arrived with the generous amount of the ingredients... I simple liked the view. The lamb was made from a fattier part of the animal and I liked it, more fatty, more lamb aromat. But sadly not. It was OK, but I don’t felt the real srong aromat, instead it was at some parts a bit chewy. However still good, I can recommend. The new discover was for me the mint sauce, on the pictures hide behind the cauliflower cheese plate. The mint
  2. I tried a few times... the beef steaks are unedible shoe soles, left all on the plate, the pork steaks almost the same... the chicken steak is fine, but chicken and steak together to mention ??? I went there because my beloved russian borsch on the menu, but it was a disappointment, it was cold and poor.... On the other sides, the thai foods were Ok...
  3. " Like their Italian cousin pizza, calzoni (plural of calzone) originated in Naples, Italy during the 18th century. Translated to "pant leg" or "trouser," the calzone's original purpose was to serve as a "walk around pizza." This Italian style turnover is created by folding a full size pizza in half. When correctly prepared, the calzone's outer crust is baked to crispy perfection while the inside filling contains a warm, gooey blend of ricotta and mozzarella cheeses along side an assortment of hearty meats and vegetables. The pizza dough like crust of calzones, traditionally make with yeast, o
  4. And it isn't... Calzone is a pizza folded in half, to put inside the usual toppings.
  5. Food vs meal... Food is a plate, meal is a complex experience.... let see the " Deli " at the TuckCom... meal, but... looks poor, simple food, small portions...no any special I would pay the farang tax... And anyway... you are right... I was too sharp.... but if you see the restaurants offers something special, worth the farang tax... hardly under 300 baht...
  6. The " wagyu " beef in Pattaya sounds me the same like the " model ladydrinks "... BTW.... mince the real " wagyu beef " for a burger...at this moment lost the " wagyu beef " his vantages... a simple cheat to collect more money from the snobs...
  7. Again a huge piece of meal on the table... at this time without a separate plate. This calzone a heavier version of the Chicken fajita calzone. Instead of the chicken chunks minced beef. Apart from the fajita’s onion, bell pepper, huge portion cheese also added olive pieces and fresh tomato slices. It was tasty, juicy and fantastic... again, I don’t even touched the tomato based sauce with fine herbes was served with the calzone .... it was perfect as it was. ( No matter, the sauce was also very fine ) 300 baht ( 210 with the 30% Eat
  8. Yep... if I'm still hungry following the so called quality meal... no matter of the quality, I'm still cheated... BTW... I look for quality meal to fill my stomach for reasonable prices... And I'm a small guy with no wolf appetite... the " giga beef pie " I had in the Fraser's ( see my report ) made me totally full was only an appetizer for my english mate.... he isn't a big guy either.... If I say it was a small portion, you can believe me... it was...
  9. It was me... if you see my restaurant reports, mostly under 300 baht and usually good quality, great foods... I meant : meal, not food or plate... I meant a few courses and a drink... Burgers , pizzas, fish and chips, poorly served spaghettis, minced meats on the mash, english brekkies etc. are great foods,plates but not meals.... Yesss, Aroi looks great value, but far away from the areas the tourists goes... probably a great choice for the expats, who drive.... Please let me know where can I find a lamb shank, a roasted lamb, a quality beef steak etc... under 300 ( meal... not plate ) Even

    Bite Me!

    Looks like a very fine food... but still only a small portion snack....not a meal....smaller, than the fork...
  11. Only on this week... and lunch. Between 11 am and 4 pm...
  12. Fraser's 'Wagyu Beef Pie' I thought, in this heat a snack will be enough, decided to visit the Tinnies... but I saw on the FB the new Frazer’s weekly luch menu... Looked good, priced good... why not ? A snack.... What the hell ??? A jumbo, mega pie arrived on the table, cca 3-4 bigger, than the Tinnies true, slightly thinner. The pastry was simple perfect, 10/10, crispy outside, soft inside... a dream... The filling was really generous with the beef, the sauce was fine... however if it is cooked slowly, I would add some more time for the beef... but no any moans, it was good. The fren
  13. I decided, finally to try the POR’s pizza, despite some people warned me, it’s not the thin and crispy pizza... ( Originally I planned to try the taco pizza, but I was a cretin, mixed the taco with the fajita... ) The very first impression: It is huge. ( and it was, I visited yesterday at 2pm the restaurant and at 10 pm I still felt full ) And it was crispy too... Filled with chicken, onion and bell pepper... some garlic sauce ( unnoticable ) and.... a lot of fine mozzarella cheese.... Some may say it was a bit tasteless, but I liked on this way, only the natural tastes. For those
  14. Chatting with the owner about girls and other deep themes about the life, he was so kind to offer me a menu... Hmm, great idea, why not ? For the first course he offered.... WHAT ??? Deathwish... Hungarian goulash soup... For me, the little hungarian, who don’t know any jokes about the goulash soup. For the first sight it was a really authentic hungarian goulash soup. Following the first bite I understood, now I’m sitting in a fine dine restaurant, all ingredients were cut for very small pieces.... No any problems with it, any hungarian fine dine restaurant
  15. Walking back home from Jomtien Sauna last week I noticed this restaurant on the way... Their menu very similar to the Cedar in the Central festival, but more extented... For example three different kind of the „ Hummus + meat „ option... One with beef ( The photo looks like the same in the Cedar menu, but they told me it is lamb... and I don’t felt the lamb taste, maybe because it was too dry ... ) one with beef shwarma and one with chicken shwarma... My original plan was to try the hummus + chicken shwarma ( 220 baht ) ... chicken is cheap, maybe the final result will be a ma

    Bite Me!

    Bite Me: Slowly cooked lamb with mint leafs and gnocci. Nice restaurant with stylish decor, true minimalist... In the firs minute I was surprised about the limited menu... But a few minutes later understand the reason: The chef personally prepare every plate with high attention, like an artist... and yes, the food on the plate is simple handcraft. My lamb food: For the first sight I don’t knew if the plate was too big or the portion small.... Looking on it in front of me on the table, the portion looked OK... And... the first disappointment: There were only meat chips, not a piece of lamb. O
  17. Thank you for the reply... No... it wasn't crispy, just hard... any ideas what was the stuffing in my case ?
  18. I planned already long times ago to try the „ Yorkshire pudding „ ... what is looking on the pictures obviously not a pudding as I know, the desert jelly... I flirted with the idea long times with the Sportmans lamb roast and today arrived the day... I just flirted with the idea, because I knew the aftermaths.... I will tell you later... So... the Yorkshire pudding... Writing this I must to say, I was a Yorkshire pudding virgin until today...so I don’t know if it was good or not, just my impressions... It was a disappointment for me, the dough was hard for my taste - I could imagine it soft a
  19. Armenia on Jomtien: Borsch and chicken kebab Amit Kulkarni ( a very popular chef on the FB ) recommended the place, so I had high exceptations... But sadly the bad overture, no ice in the glass. ( not to mention the slice of lime ) Asked the service girl for ice and the shocking reply: „ Solly, no hab ice. „ Ouch... true, the small bottle soda was 25 baht. The borsch was the opposite experience... It was an almost perfect borsch, I was simple thrilled to see the sour cream and the fresh dill on the top. Everything must be on the plate ( not only beetroot, but cabbage and potato ) I
  20. It is easter time so must to eat smoked meat and eggs with the traditional garnishes. My choice was the half kilo boneless smoked and cooked pork knuckle. Yes I know, many gourmets would choose other parts of the pork, less fatty, no skins etc. but I like especially this part of the pork. The pork on my plate was almost perfect, as I like it... thin fat, trembly skin, juicy and tender meat. However I had a big battle with the chef, he wanted to serve the knuckle thin sliced as the chefs in the cilivized world serve a food like this. I denied it and I had several reasons... I like it in this ne
  21. Looking on this combo before, I found it „ interesting „ ... Burger and sandwich - I mean no bun, but bread - with ice cream shake... huhh... Looking on the menu, I found it much more colorful, than the hot dogs, many different sandwiches for reasonable prices. ( chicken parmaggiano, pulled pork etc ) I hesitated to order the philly steak sanwich... but only until the service girl told me: „ Beef same same hamburger „ Hm... an other interesting concept. So let see the weird menu. The ice cream shake arrived first. This fact was a huge mistake, because I had to wait 5-10 more minutes and I want
  22. Sounded interesting the Friday special wagyu steak menu.... Must be good, so many simple gushing about the wagyu steak... Yes, I know there are no wonders in the life. I don’t know if it was wagyu or not, but it was thin, dry and almost hard... not too hard, but not tender. OK, I must to add I asked it well done and it wasn’t a regular brasilian or argentinian beef, just a simple wagyu, so it was my mistake too. The garlic mayo, worchester steak sauce was simple delicious and good portion. The potato au gratin was just right, altough a bit tasteless. The salad was fine, just too modest portion
