Sounds great gkbkk, your order will not be a problem but I will need to swap your crumpet order for home made english muffins if that is okay

Agree 100%. Will be buying a printer any day and should have that problem rectified soon.

Early trade is suggestion about 70% Thai and 30% westerners.

Hi Jet, before posting a menu I would prefer to get permission from the mods as although of course I was thinking of promotion when I started this thread it was also to bring friends up to date with what I have been doing, not just promoting it.

Thai Pom · 13-05-2009, 05:57 PM

Memock,

I spoke to a friend of mine who lives in Patio outside of Yasothon and often makes the trip in to the airport to pick up visitors, I told him about you opening. He loved Tony's,all but one thing. He did not open early enough to catch the 1st flights in/out of Bangkok. He reckoned a sign outside saying "breakfast" would catch the punters going to /coming from the airport. I can understand you are knackered at this time, but it might be some to think about! He might have been one of your customers today!!

Just a thought, Good Luck.

smeden · 27-07-2009, 02:43 PM

good luck whith the buisnes

nedwalk · 13-05-2009, 04:42 AM

looks good mate, stick to the tried ane true KISS principle and all should fall into place

MeMock · 13-05-2009, 08:57 PM

Ahhh so it was you Thai Pom who passed on the good word - many thanks!

Your friend came in for breakfast this morning after dropping friends off at the airport. He was very happy to hear that we open at 7am.

To prove that great minds think alike the large red banners arrived last night and went out side first thing this morning with one of them saying 'breakfast' must have been just as he was driving past.

Jet Gorgon · 14-05-2009, 08:13 AM

^ I demand a menu! Understand your sentiments, tho, Memock, but hey, don't be shy, show the folks what you're offering. And then us dumbo critics can offer suggestions.
Happy to hear the first few days are going so well.

MeMock · 14-05-2009, 11:50 AM

Don't you do tours up this way for the candle festival though Klongy which is fast approaching.....

UbonFarang · 14-05-2009, 02:56 PM

I love eggs benedict....

are you planning to have a full English type breakfast on the menu ie..bacon, eggs, tomatoes, mushroom, hash brown//s, slice of toast etc

MeMock · 14-05-2009, 03:07 PM

We are doing one large brekky UbonFarang which consists of your choice of eggs, two slices of home made bread, bacon, hot chips and baked beans.

I guess I should include a front of house shot....

Rural Surin · 14-05-2009, 10:08 PM

Hoping the market in Ubon is consistent enough to keep your head afloat.
