  1. And for anyone looking to celebrate the Glorious 4th, you have a few options. Coop will be kicking off his annual July 4th BBQ and party at ChikNCoop Bar 4 p.m. Offshore Bar and Sexy in the City are holding a joint July 4th party that begins at 3 p.m. The All American Restaurant in the Avenue Mall starts its festivities at 2 p.m. Have fun and stay safe whatever you choose!

  2. The arcade which runs parallel to Soi Diana and diagonally across from Mike's Mall on 2nd Road includes some notable Pattaya restaurants: Kiss Foods, Beefeater, Patrick's, My Way and Little India. This week I decided to try a relative newcomer to the arcade, Calles Grill & Bar. It's not brand new as it opened in October last year, but I had never had occasion to try it before. It occupies the premises of the defunct Big Horn Steakhouse. Basically it's a grill restaurant specializing in steaks and Swedish meat dishes, but with some international favorites on the menu as well.
  3. Some decent specials at Dicey Reilly's on 2nd Road in front of the Marriott. Evil
  4. Time for an update on Dicey Reilly's Sunday carvery at 399 baht. Not much has changed since my first review a couple of years ago. It remains one of the better carveries in Pattaya and well worth the 399 baht. It's a comfortable restaurant with good A/C. It's also rather quiet and seldom has a lot of customers, which makes it a good place both to have Sunday dinner and to watch sports events. In terms of the food at the Sunday carvery, it's still as good as ever. In fact, I could simply repeat the comments I made in 2014 and 2015. The buffet offers roast beef, turkey and pork, as well as
  5. Woman accidentally kills self adjusting bra holster Michael Winter, USA TODAY9:11 p.m. EST February 18, 2015 (Photo: Justin Sullivan, Getty Images) A Michigan woman accidentally shot herself to death last month while adjusting the .22-caliber revolver in her bra holster, police said Wednesday. Christina Bond, 55, was struck in an eye in her St. Joseph home on New Year's Day. She died the next day in a Kalamazoo hospital, where she had been airlifted. "She was having trouble adjusting her bra holster, couldn't get it to fit the way she wanted it to," St. Joseph Public Safety Director
  6. At least five Americans accidentally shot off their penises since 2010 In News by Brian Abrams / January 23, 2013 The Internet is abuzz this week with the unfortunate mishap of one security guard in Trinidad who accidentally shot his dick off with a .38 firearm. That sucks, but this isn’t the first time that a potential Darwin Award nominee robbed himself of manhood. At least five similar incidents have been reported in the United States within the last three years. If these cases don’t sway macho man constitutionalists to support gun control, then I don’t know what. 1. September 2012:
  7. I'm a bad one to ask about wine because I can't drink it due to a food allergy. However, according to what was written on another board, the Big Fish does have a "free flow" wine option for an extra 350 baht. I can't confirm whether that is accurate. You can just ride the elevator up to the sixth floor. No card is needed. But the buffet does get busy and a reservation is probably safest. Evil
  8. This was a good meal (smoked salmon on a bagel) at a rather interesting restaurant: Vanguard Kitchen, located in Terminal C at Newark Liberty Airport in Newark, NJ. Newark Liberty is one of the three big airports that serves the New York metro area and a hub for United Airlines. The pics of the restaurant I lifted off the Net. The restaurant is associated with UA, as you can pay for meals using frequent flyer miles. Each table has a tablet (IPad) from which you both order and pay. You can also surf the Net while you eat. I didn't try any porno sites- I'd imagine

  10. I'll be outside Thailand for the next two weeks, but when I get back, I'll definitely send you a PM. Maybe we can put together a small group for an FLB Memorial Fondue Evening. It's been a while since I've had fondue, but within the past decade. There's a small restaurant in NYC called Raclette that specializes in melted cheese dishes. At The Bistro, the dish raclette is done with a table-top grill that looks like this: Anyway, I definitely look forward to it, fondue or raclette! And wine white is the drink of choice with fondue. Evil
  11. Another really tasty meal I had at The Bistro was also simple but delicious. The amuse-bouche that day was black olives with diced onions. I'm not a big fan of olives, but these were good ... ... as was the light rye bread topped with the spread. I followed up with an open-faced tomato and sausage sandwich with dill pickles at 110 baht. There's not much skill required to make a sandwich, so it all comes down to the ingredients; otherwise, you might as well slap some salami and tomatoes on a piece of bread at home. Every component of The Bistro's sandwich w
  12. The Bistro Wine & Cheese is a Swiss restaurant on Soi 13/1, aka Soi Yamato, about halfway between Beach Road and 2nd Road. It is a small restaurant, with about 20 seats in the enclosed air-conditioned part of the restaurant and a few more seats outside. It serves delicious food prepared from quality ingredients with meticulous attention to detail. The menu is focused on dishes which are popular in Switzerland and many of its customers are not surprisingly Swiss ex-pats and tourists in Pattaya. It's been full or close to it the nights I've eaten there, so reservations are recommended i
  13. There were bowls and trays of grilled shrimp and crab for those who don't want to wait for a custom-grilled portion. The dessert table offered the usual assortment of cakes, tarts, pudding, fruit, etc. The tiny cups of egg custard were the best. Some plates from out table: Because of food allergies, I alas cannot eat much seafood other than shrimp. I had a couple of lamb chops and a piece of grilled beef to fill me up. The lamb chop was grilled nicely, but had a lot of untrimmed
  14. The Big Fish restaurant on the 6th floor of the Siam Siam Hotel on 2nd Road close to Soi 3 offers a daily seafood and BBQ buffet. The cost is 650 baht p p, including a 10% service charge and 7% VAT. It opens at 6.30 p.m. and runs until 10.30 p.m. I tried it last night with a farang friend and his TG. The buffet was good, but not outstanding. There are better Western-style seafood buffets in Pattaya for the same price, while the Thai-style places cost about half as much. However, Siam Siam is one of the few farang-oriented restaurants to feature a buffet on a daily and not just once a we
  15. Next time I'm in Bangkok, I'll have to try her restaurant to see if the food is sh*tty.
  16. Yes, they are. But remember that "refried" is a mistranslation of the Spanish word refrito, which ,means "well-fried" rather than "fried again." Evil
  17. Steak & Co is running some specials that will put you under 300 baht on three days of the week. The early bird hours are noon to 5 pm. I;ve had the ribs at S & C and they are excellent. From S & C's Facebook page: This is another opportunity to enjoy high-end food at a low price. Evil
  18. Yup, TR's margaritas are among the best in Pattaya. The cocktail bar outside the Areca also makes fine margaritas, as does the Horizon bar atop the Hilton. Evil
  19. I've been using USAMail1.com for the past four years. However, it is best to use a mail forwarding company in the city you visit most often in case you want to have packages delivered prior to your arrival. If that isn't an issue and you'll have all your mail forwarded to Thailand, then a company anywhere will do. USAMail1.com clicks all the boxes for me. They can even set you up with a US telephone number. Evil
  20. This update is in two separate parts. First part: Tequila Reef on Soi 7 has garnered mixed reviews through the years on the Pattaya boards. Some people love it, others loathe it. I don't know if it is luck or the hand of Buddha, but I've never had a bad meal there. I don't know what accounts for others' bad experiences. Maybe it's the inconsistency that haunts many Pattaya restaurant? There have also been some rather bitter discussions about the "authenticity" of the food at Tequila Reef. That's a muddled concept at best; for me, it's how the food tastes, rather than authe
  21. And now for those of you who are hearty eaters: Nicky's on Soi Bukhao has really big portions for 250 baht. I ate there with two friends last night. I had the 1/2 roast chicken with stuffing, roast potatoes and garden peas. That's a substantial portion of chicken, backed up by big helpings of potatoes and peas. It was roasted properly, with the meat very moist. Best chicken I've had for awhile in Pattaya. A bit stingy on the stuffing, though, but that's a minor point. I would have preferred more stuffing and less potatoes. One friend had the pork chops, m
  22. I know there is a separate thread on Pattaya Meals in this section, but it deserves more mention in this thread ass it is an excellent option for those seeking good farang food under 300 baht. And now for something different: Pattaya Meals is a food preparation and delivery service that brings affordable and tasty farang and Thai food to your door. I tried Pattaya Meals for the first time on Tuesday and was very happy with the experience. We ordered five dishes for three people, with four to be shared among us as a late lunch and one to be taken home by a guest as his supper. Total
  23. I tried Pattaya Meals on Tuesday afternoon. We ordered five dishes for three people, with four to be shared among us as a late lunch and one to be taken home by a guest as his supper. Total cost was 820 baht (no tip no delivery change as per PattayaMeals.com. I placed the order at 2.35 pm and it was delivered at 3.25 pm. The food was delicious and arrived hot. i won't hesitate to order from them again. #2 Chicken cutlet Parmigiana 165 baht #5 Caesar Salad with shrimp 180 baht #15 Pepper and garlic chicken 150 baht #26 Bacon carbonara Pasta (fe
  24. The Peter Luger sauce works well on hamburgers and as a salad dressing or on vegetables. It isn't used as an actual steak sauce in the restaurant. Evil
