Grilled Sweet Mussels WTF

[InternationalTraveler]

Yesterday tried out the restaurant at the far end of Jomtien beach.

Beilieve it is called Lungsawai Sea Food

 

 

With a nice sea view and a good stiff breeze kept the temperature down. Mid afternoon only waiters and no customers.

There also seemed to be an abundance of flies.

 

Along with other stuff I had ordered the grilled sweet grilled mussels from the menu.

Imagine my surprise when this appeared on the table.

 

Thought there was some mistake on my part but no. I have had snails in garlic and in creamy white sauce but this came with only the spicy Thai dip. Reminded me a bit like whelks and a bit chewy but at the end of theday a snail is a snail.

Surely they must have messed up with the translation.

I normally give places like this one chance to impress for a repeat visit but on this occasion it's a no no

It's a bad choice anyhow

 

Uses cambo staff (who are f'kin clueless)

 

Should have pulled over at the last junction at Pupen

It's been years since I've eaten at this restaurant. The place was jammed at the time. Seafood was fresh and very tasty. I remember the prices were reasonable.

The Thai word "hoi" covers snails and muscles unfortunately you got the direct translation without intelligence. On the the Thai menu it might have had a fuller description as to which type of hoi.

This place was one of my favorites 10-15 years ago. Packed at dinner time and hard to get in. Never went at lunchtime though.

Ive been there a few times, with Thai friends (always leave them to do the ordering!).

 

Always found it to be quite good, prices very reasonable too.
