Bali Hai Chinese Restaurant Revolting

[OOOPS 4]

For lovers of authentic Chinese cuisine, look no further than the Bali Hai Chinese and Seafood Restaurant, one of the five chic restaurants presenting Thai and International fine dining at the Siam Bayshore Resort and Spa. Indeed,

INDEED what a load of rubbish they serve you , took the missus out for a meal after reading the review in Pattaya People,

Has to be the worst food Ive ever been served in my life

To start off wrong the waiter served a lightly chilled bottle of beer and immediately poured it into a warm handled mug

warm beer 30 degrees outside not good

We specifically ordered one particular house specialty dish, being the famed Peking Duck, that according to the review, many connoisseur guests have deemed to be constantly the best in town.

the duck arrived after around thirty minutes with the supposed spare ribs

two bowls of luke warm sticky rice accompanied

 

first impresions allowing for the lack of lighting was a reasonably well proportioned meal.

However on closer examination it didnt look very good at all

First taste of the duck drew a gasp, second taste horror this duck was obviously microwaved,

probably cooked months ago and frozen

it had absolutely no edible meat content it was simply dried shrivelled rubbish , authentic chinese ,my arse

the other plate was pork ribs

the pork ribs were boneless dunno how they do that never seen a pig without bones ,

 

Dont waste your money here 9oo baht unedible tasteless garbage not fit for human consumption

 

the drinks were 590 baht two warm small bottles of singha and one small glass of a non alcoholic mocktail,

 

pattaya people obviously need to re visit and re appraise this resturant 0/10

 

We have never tried walking out on bad food here in patts anyone done it ? is it worth complaining , tried complaing at a recent pastry shop just got blank stares

 

would never re order another dish , heard some bad stories about waiters gobbing in your new order

was hoping to post some pix with this but the new galaxy shat it self

Peking duck should require advanced notice. 24-48 hours

After living long stretches in Beijing, Hong Kong and Taipei, I seldom eat in Chinese restaurants in other countries. There are a few good Chinese restaurants in Bangkok, but I've yet to find a really good one in Pattaya.

 

Just a note - Classic Peking Duck, the kind you get at the Bianyifang and Quanjude restaurants in Beijing, consists of crispy duck skin and very thin crepes (Mandarin pancakes), served with spring onions and hoisin sauce. The skin should be sliced at the table; otherwise, it's not authentic Peking Duck. The meat of the duck doesn't figure in. It's boiled for soup or served as separate dish, but it's not part of classic Peking Duck. It's duck skin that is the highlight of Peking duck. Very, very few restaurants outside of China serve real Peking Duck.

yes it can take such time to prepare but all authentic resturants if advertising peking duck should have it on the hook

wind dried peking duck is always pre cooked often seen hanging in resturant windows etc, sold in most chinese resturants the UK and in Se Asia

chopped and heated to serve as peking duck or served cold , as an addition to rice noodle dishes
