Well today on my visit into the wilds of the Pattaya countryside I decided to stop off for a snack, now this place looks quite classy, nice proper wood tables etc, flowers and plants everywhere, yep nice place to take a small wife.

Anyway here is the entrance to the place.

dirtydog · 07-11-2005, 04:04 PM

Notice the well fed street dog there, the food must be good, obviously when one see's furniture like this one does wonder what sort of prices they may charge.

After taking my seat the young lady brought me over a glass of water and a toilet roll of all things, would I instantly get the shits from eating their food?

dirtydog · 07-11-2005, 04:09 PM

And here it is in all it's glory, Pad Kappow Moo, It was actually very good although a bit spicey, she left the chillies chopped up big so they were easy to find and move to one side, also she included some slices of fried onion and bell peppers in there aswell, the whole lot came to 25baht, although having a toilet roll on the table reminded me of my early days in Thailand and gave thoughts of wiping ones bum, which really isn't what you want to think about during your meal.

Stil not bored with pad krapow moo?

dirtydog · 13-11-2005, 02:13 AM

OK, tomorrow I shall have red pork soup,kwateoy moo daeng

haven't had that in ages, maybe treat the family

MeMock · 13-11-2005, 05:59 AM

I love kwateoy moo daeng

Today I went to the old yearly agricultural fair in Sri Racha, It's every year for 10 days, I'm not really sure if this counts as a low end restaurant or more of a mobile foodstall on a grand scale, as you can see in this picture it is an open air thingy with fine decor.

Even get a nice bucket of dead leaves to go with your meal.

Anyway I went for the old dead pig body parts boiled up in some water, the meat is very tender, but you do have to stress to them that you don't eat the slimey fat, well that is as long as you don't eat it, anyway here is his pigs stewing pot.

Hygene obviously is a main concern to us farangs, and I was quite suprised to see him don plastic gloves while he was using kitchen utensils to prise the meat off of the bone, I mean that is hygene, alas I was to be let down when he picked up the sprig of parsley with his bare hand and chucked it on top of my meal, still it's only to be expected in a third world country I suppose, anyway the meal was very good

Khao Kha Moo...

Jeeeezzzzz... You make me hungry, DD!!!!

Marmite the Dog · 06-12-2005, 11:45 PM

I had some duck in red curry paste, crab omelette and mixed veg from a 'raan aharn' the other night. It was right tasty, but I didn't take any piccies. Soz

dirtydog · 12-07-2006, 04:13 PM

Well I have obviously had a good year so far this year as I haven't eaten in any low end Thai Restaurants, but alas all good things come to an end, yep, next week our work will be finished and this thread will flourish as it used to as I slowly run out of money yet again.

Today was just a practice run to get back into the swing of things, so off I went down Soi Theprasit to the old boiled pig place, offhand I can't even remember the Thai name for this dish but it is one of my favourites.

I asked for no fat and got no fat, also I didn't delve into the chilli and raw garlic bowl, just a bit too much for the first meal of the day, this stuff is pretty good and comes with an onion soup, I also had a coke and the whole lot came to 40baht.

The working counter.

I forgot to mention the egg, it's a bit of a funny colour so I didn't eat that.

Gave this one a miss.

buadhai · 12-07-2006, 04:38 PM

As GoW said, it's Khao Kha Moo (rice with pig leg) and it is delicious. I had some last night; take out from the food center at the Save One flea market near our house. 20 baht per plate.

But, if you hadn't written "boiled pig place" I would have guess Khao Man Gai based on the sauce, broth and corriander....

dirtydog · 12-07-2006, 04:43 PM

I realised after I posted as I read thru the last page again, quite a coincidence that my last post 6 or 7 months ago was the same dish, I did actually goto the red pork and noodle soup place first but they had run out already

dirtydog · 12-08-2006, 10:59 PM

Slowly going to more low end places, peanuts that have been steamed and hard eggs that have been cooked a bit differant to what we are used to.

I love Khao Kha Moo - my apsolute favourite, but u need the fat - the eggs are good, but DD - you need 1 chilli - 1 garlic per mouthful for the best taste IMO !

but for some reason i have trouble picking up after a meal of that ....

dirtydog · 27-01-2007, 02:58 PM

Well I have been working in the wilds of Ban Chang, got to admit I imagined spending my afternoons in the short time bars there but unfortuneately I have been working

so lunch time I nipped down the road for some pork fried with basil and chilli, got to admit I wasn't that impressed with it, still with a bottle of pepsi it came to 30baht so that aint too bad.

If you're aiming for hypertension and arteriosclerosis, that is.

dirtydog · 13-10-2007, 05:47 PM

This bargain place may look like a bit of a shack but the food is ok, it is on Soi Thepprasit near the Jomtien end of the road, they have probably spent a lot of time and money to deck it out to look like a corrugated iron shack.

The chef doing what chefs do best, making my Pad Kapprow.

They only have 2 tables so it maybe a good idea to make a reservation.

They also sell loads of everyday type of stuff like petrol and that.

And finally my lunch, fried pig with basil and chilli, including a coke 35baht.

dirtydog · 28-10-2007, 04:19 PM

This place is pretty good and damn cheap, it is on Soi Theprasit in Pattaya at the Jomtien end next door to the Nakhon Sawan Car Care Center, so you dump your car off to be washed and get a bite to eat or a few beers to drink.

A nice boat display type thing for the noodle soup stuff.

The normal Thai food counter for the fried stuff.

The soup and juice counter, they also do the boiled pig here but had run out, but they chucked some of the broth into my soup

Nice pinewood furniture made up locally from wooden packaging bought from Laem Chabang docks.

I have to admit I was a bit disappointed about the small amount of meat in my noodle soup, but then I was shocked when he told me it was 20baht, been a few years since I paid that little amount for a kwatteoy soup in Pattaya or Jomtien, didn't eat the bits of liver though.
