Me adding some more olive oil.........

Texpat · 04-09-2008, 08:06 PM

Why did the restaurant have the lights on during the daytime?

chitown · 04-09-2008, 08:08 PM

And for the final pics.......some classic Dirty Dog photos!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nice and clean, although they should be since I got there right when they opened for dinner.

chinthee · 04-09-2008, 08:10 PM

Gee, all the restaurants I go to just have a hole in the floor for a toilet. I need to upgrade. Good thread Chi.

They are open for lunch and then close for a few hours and then open again for dinner at 6pm. We got there at 10 til 6.

I don't see a bum gun in that toilet, I hate that.

The food does look great, but they need to get some smaller plates. Ramsey would have a fit.

Not sure about a bum gun. Some guy walked in the toilet just as I took this shot. He looked at my a bit strange.

Nice thread!

You have such lovely hands. Do you play the harp or is it too hard on your hands?

jandajoy · 04-09-2008, 08:24 PM

Interesting. IMHO the dinner seems wildly over priced. Lovely surroundings, nice decor, but the food, though I'm sure it was tasty seems ludicrously expensive for the ingrediants involved.

Maybe I've out bush too long. Still seems a tad over the top.

Quantities not too good either.

Alright, I know I should provide some food review too.

Happy birthday, Chitown.

I don't know where they get their food but they're not serving cheap ingredients from what it looks like. Among the listed ingredients are Aborio rice, gorgonzola, lots of heavy cream, parmesan, the sausages and such. Those sort of things can get pretty pricey here. The rent in that part of town isn't very low either. I seems pretty reasonable to me.

jandajoy · 04-09-2008, 08:47 PM

Fair enough, you're the expert.

Fabian · 04-09-2008, 08:50 PM

Chitown, so where is the main course?

Timber · 04-09-2008, 08:51 PM

I will concur that the portions look a bit on the small side. But rissotto and gnocchi are pretty filling.

That was it and really were stuffed.

They kept bringing bread through the whole meal.

jandajoy · 04-09-2008, 09:05 PM

Ah... the old "As much bread as you can eat" trick.

Timber · 04-09-2008, 09:06 PM

They've got to make their margins. Its menu balance. Some items will have 30% costs while others will run up to 60%. I think you'll find they're pretty competitively priced for that caliber of food in Bkk.

^Chi, do you know if they made their bread in house?

jandajoy · 04-09-2008, 09:10 PM

So can you sell me a used grill Timba ?

Timber · 04-09-2008, 09:13 PM

I still need mine for the time being, but if you're interested in getting one I can get them built at a pretty good rate. Just pm me for details.
