Thread: Maesriruen Thai

the massaman looks particularly unappetising, slopped messily into the bowl like that, its obviously impossible to judge the taste from a photo, but if i had been served that in a "proper" restaurant as opposed to the street-side pochanas we usually eat at i would have sent it back.

even jesus, sitting at the back in your photo, seems unimpressed with the fare on offer.

the best massaman i have eaten in bangkok was at a small muslim cafe called osman, down a small sub soi off sukhumvit 22 just past the huge marriot hotel.

...interestingly, the place was full of Thai families...

Thanks for sharing Tom, I'm not big on Massamans myself. Too sickly normally.

There's another branch of that place in Pattaya near the Hilton. Doubt it's as good as Avani's Sala Rim though(on Eatigo)

You into Chinese or Cantonese, Tom? I'd like to see your review on Four Seasons, Emquartier,7th floor
I think it's amazing

^ they defo don’t have a * mate, don’t think they are even in the book

...not overly enthusiastic, no, but I have been tempted to try the Four Seasons duck...SD, being of Chinese extraction, was raised on Cantonese and loves everything from dim sum to shark fin soup...thanks for the recommendation...

In that area for Chinese then Yuan’s Ped Paking at the Mel. Hilton is pretty naughty

^^ a Michelin star?

That means fuckall

That shitty street food place in Terminal 21 has one of those

Thailand: where you can eat like a king down any local soi, but where you'll eat like a pauper should you bother with most Thai restaurants.

Schoolboy error that one, Tomcat.

...perhaps you could start a thread on the subject...

^ sorry to let you down Dillinger, this is the best I can offer

Tomcat have your tried Sanguan Sri? classic place for Thai food, not expensive but a decent local scran somewhat nicely trapped in the past- same family includes the Chef at the excellent R-Haan (they do have a *)

...^not yet...

^^ You had Tom until 'not expensive'

MICHELIN Guide’s Point Of View-
Chipped dining plates and rudimentary cutlery are all part of the experience, and anyway, it's not like the clientele has been coming here since 1970 for the décor

There is no way in hell that Tom will be patronising that place

Might be more interesting to review everyday home fare, instead of the usual and proper restaurant and hotel variety.
Different different.

^ I never eat at home so at least that counts me out!

Um...yeah, what does that even mean?

More understandable than your sniping drivel I guess, wake up man...
