  1. Somebody recommended me the meal: Hummus with meat. Nothing too much to write about... The lebanese bread / pita was hot, tender... a dream. The hummus was fantastic, delicious, rich with a few drop fine olive oil.... The small lamb cubes were dry and hard, but no problem, with the hummus and the soft pita it was like a spice added a special taste. Verdict: I don’l liked at all. You may ask why ? Because it was a bad composed meal. Not a starter, not a main meal. For starter it is too much, too heavy, for a main too small, not enough. Finishing the food I felt: I’m still hungry, but
  2. The new lebanese restaurant in the Central festival.... It was a shame, the Sizzler had a waiting list to get in, many customers sitting outside to wait for their chance... ( number ) a Sunday traffic... and this restaurant was absolutely empty... I just walked around .... but looking on their menu I found someting interesting : labanee for 100 baht... Wow... One of my favourite food.... The small bottle of soda water full with lemon slices : 20 baht The labane was simple perfect, despite not the same I ate in Israel... It was simple a good food... the olive oil on the f
  3. I heard lately, if I walk down from Jomtien sauna to the beach road it may worth to turn left to discover the " little Russia " restaurants... Genuine russian foods for OK prices ... Let's try... Yes, many russian theme restaurants... however the prices looked too good.. Looks like a cartel. Almost all of the restaurants with the same menu.... I choose the " Our place " because of the gushing personal messages on the wall... Good overture, without asking the complimentary ice cold refreshing towel.... The not so good following.... I asked 4 times if the borsch and the pe
  4. And you are the only person " who could turn a straightforward food review " into a PC rant... What next? The muslim hordes are welcomed in the UK ? ( Yep... I'm not PC at all... I say as I think ... ) How to know ? The many he he and ha ha and showing pictures on their phones....I may be ignored, but not blind...
  5. I wanted to try the Santa Fe 179 baht T-Bone steak... I was sitting alone cca 20 minutes without any attention and stared the only one waitress whoo looked to work, flirting and watching the photos on the phones of the jap tourist group... the rest of the waiters / waitresses just sauntered around... Enough is enough... walked out. A fast solution, I late the movie... So the Sizzler... Nothing new, I like their salad bar, I just share what I had. Spicy sour soup. Nothing special, little spicy, little sour with some tofu and mushroom pieces. Plate 1. Pork salad, a really delicious t
  6. Chicken tikka + beer menu for 199 baht I still can’t understand why some restaurants wants to sell their food with beer, but at least I can change the beer to soda. And yes, small gesture, but I really appreciate... big bottle of soda. For my surprise the complimentary papadam ( now I know what is it grin hangulatjel ) arrived very soon with the sensational sauces. I never tried it yet , so I googled what to await.... but so many different recipes, photos... it was still a big question for me what will be arrive... The pulao rice, just like the last time... huge portion and the tik
  7. I was curious about a swedish all you can eat buffet, just because in Hungary and in Russia we call the all you can eat buffets : Swedish table... The Akvavit is a well advertised, not cheap restaurant, so I sniffed the deal for 335 baht including a beer or a drink. A promising overture: Big bottle of soda, small gesture, but I really appreciate it. The starters: Fresh and soft white bread as I like it. Correct, but nothing special potato salad. Swedish egg... an interesting concept, a little bit similar with the devil’s egg, but a lazier version... anyway it
  8. I worry the same.... However dealing with the restaurants before to visit them is easier, than with the GOGO bars... At least you can see the restaurant's menu, not only the cheap beer offers... and the rest is hidden... like in the GOGO bars nowadays... In the good old days there were only one barfine prices and written on the wall....Before the GOGO bar scene wasn't a fraudulent highway robbery... And anyway... why not to try an interesting offer from an indian restaurant for the price of two ( or less ) ladydrinks ? ( Please compare the the two services )

    You are right... But no any sausages must be looking like a dried, tired human limp dick...for premium prices.... even a cheap hot dog sausage in the 7/11 for 10 baht may look like a perky dick...
  10. Thanx... but for 380 baht a not british " chank "... thank you... not... however I'm still in the search....
  11. Some thoughts about the oysters... many years ago in a 5+ star french restaurant in Paris the guy invited us for the dinner offered me as the star of the 8 floor sea food plate including the fine french crabs, moules in garlic sauce, fish filets, lobsters etc... the fine french oysters... they were still living, dropping the lemon juice they still moved... I tried only one and swore for myself: I will never eat the same mucus in my life... However some girls encouraged me to try the thai version: with the spicy sauce and the fried onion pieces.... and it became one of my favourite... I still e
  12. I liked the indian foods I ate before, but really not an expert, I don’t even know how to order, what combinations are the right... so maybe now, a set menu. Good prices ( I never understood, why the indian food is relatively so expensive in Thailand ) looks exotic... I choose the menu number 2... The first and pleasant surprise: Big bottle soda water, not the usual small one. ( 30 baht ) Maybe a small gesture, but I really appreciated it. Also a nice gesture, the waitress asked me if I want the Chicken madras spicy, medium or not spicy. Some modest crispy thing arrived... w

    I'm sorry to say, but those so called sausages looks like cooked human limp dicks...maybe shriveled hot dog sausages... Where I come from a sausage looks like this: Pure meet inside, not only the meat foam, looks anyway tired...
  14. The lamb kebab döner I wanted something lamb and remember some lamb shank in the Sportmans... Sadly, it seems it was only a special. But hey... a promotional offer on the table: The lamb kebab döner... Ok let’s try it. The meal was a good portion, generous portion lamb meat with very fresh salad items. ( I must to mention the fresh onion slices with hard smell, rarely meet in Pattaya. In Hungary we cry when slice the onions ) And again, two kind of sauces I didn’t knew how to use – ok, I know, my ignorance – I just guessed, the white sauce was for the salad part, the red one for th

    One day I will... but too bad location for me...the pork belly offer looks promising... ( the meat I miss on the Pattaya ribs ) See my report about the Pastrami on Rye.... fries included, but not needed...the cole slaw was a better choice... TRUE, I must to admit, this is a lamb burger, not a beef burger... lamb is really expensive in Thailand... The Cordon Bleu was just enough ... with a Cornetto ice cream I bought in a 7/11 for 25 baht.... Sorry... I simple like the Cornetto Royale... chocolat ice cream with the fruity jelly in the middle... I have small hands

    You know very well I paid my own bill and doubled it with my donation for the reason the restaurant owner spent it....
  19. I saw the many positive reports about the venue, so decided to try it, despite of my gourmet friend’s warn, he tried the restaurant twice and don’t liked it. Let see the truth.... My choice was the Philly Cheese steak .... The sandwich looked really nice, the meat looked generous portion. But hey, where is the cheese from the cheese steak sandwich ? Is the liquid cheese sauce awarded the name sheese steak ? It seems it was the deal. The bun was soft and fine, but not the meat... it was hard and chewy... and not so generous as the first sight, one side of the sandwich was full with meat, th

    The burger looks like a microscopic portion... maybe 1.4 bite...just like the strawberry cake... maybe a dinner for a somalian refugee, but not a meal for a farang...
  22. Why not to try the La Bocca pizzeria next to my condo ?? The offer is the pizza buffet + one drink ( beer or soda pop ) for 250 baht The italian waiter explained the offer: They will serve pizzas by slices and I can't choose what kind of pizzas... OK, let's try... I was with a buddy, we don't finished our talk, but I was too hungry to wait for it... so he accompanied me, but not wanted to eat... I told to the italian waiter: I want the buffet, my buddy wants a coke... It was a rude gesture: he warned me, I can't share my pizza with my buddy... Yes I know... not a chimp... Ok we were under
  23. First of all I must to admit, I’m not a pie expert... not at all, I ate this kind of meal first time in my life. I never felt the need to try this food because of the appearance. However I decided to stop to experimenting with newly found meals ( an other report soon ) and listen the posters in this group. The pies still looked somehow smallish for me, but let’s make the blind date... Chicken mornay pie ( 135 baht ) + salad to have something fresh on my plate ( 50 baht ) My friend ordered a chicken moshroom pie ( 135 baht ) + salad and french fries combo ( 70 baht ) ... as you see, the genero
  24. Jomtien Plaza... again... I start with the moral of the story: If you find a good food in a relative cheap restaurant, stick to this food and don’t experiment if you are not in explorer mood. For me Boat bakery means beef noodle soup, Jomtien Plaza means cordon bleu... The Jomtien pizza.. for the forst sight it was ok... for the first bite it was a nightmare. It wasn’t a pizza and hard to explain what it was. The topping was tasty and enough, ( tuna, bell pepper, sauce ) including the cheese, it was done nicely... BUT... the dough was someting like a piece of fresh TESCO brad, the topping wa
