Thread: David's Kitchen Number 8 in the world for some tripadvisor shit.

I draw the line at a panang served with mash... fusioning stuff together like that is just wrong. Maybe the rice cooker had a blown fuse that evening

One might hazard a guess that you're being overly contrary without actually proffering anything of substance in response.

It's not me who wrote the menu, any decent Chef knows when writing menus you select food that complements each of the components if you don't provide a selection of choices a customer will dine elsewhere the next time, you also Utilise seasonal produce, I'd say most of his meat is frozen.

The potato suggestions you have posted, are adequate but would never be served in one of the worlds best restaurants on a plate with the main course.

Yes you are. It’s obvious you have never dined there, while many normal citizens have.

Do you want fries with yours thicko?

I doubt he'd risk using frozen meat when he started out, but maybe he can afford to cut the odd corner or three now.

But at those prices and 'reputation' he'd surely keep standards sky high. ....and work the kitchen on a nighly basis.


Would love to try it. I've got a couple of goons casing the joint for escape routes as I write.

First he is full for all servings everyday. Secondly how can you make an assumption that most of his meat is frozen? When was the last time you went out for a western meal in Chaing Mai?

Lively thread, anyway...

Despite my ribbing, this is a subject you clearly know a bit about and, as Bob has said in the past, it's a shame you don't post a little bit of your work on this thread from time-to-time instead of constantly looking to quarrel or play devil's advocate.

That said, I'm not sure I agree with your opening paragraph. You work with what you have, and what are his other options if he wants to serve quality lamb while stuck in Chiang Mai?

Professionals don't need to dine at places they can see the menu and the presentation of the pictures if the person is talented.

Most Chefs have their strong points if I was Chef O I'd stick to what he knows, perhaps fuse Thai spices with his European foods.

Like Thai Curries with Mash

Yeah, but, unlike his politics, he might actually be worth listening to if he contributed a little bit more to the thread than sitting on the sidelines pointing his finger.

Of course it is.

This is a good point. There are countless by the side of the road places I've eaten at in Thailand that are absolutely fantastic for flavours that would put your eyes in the back of your head.

Give 'em a good piece of meat though and they'd be lost.

Some do have strange ideas about food, though we were at seafood restaurant in Bann saray last week and the food was one of the best meals I've had in Thailand and the price was cheap in my eyes for the selection we had.

I'm my own worst critic when it comes to food, the comments I've made are because of gullible people believing in TripAdvisor.

Marbled Pork has been mentioned recently.

Tops Beef in my opinion any day.

I agree with you there, but your comment that the public knows nothing is at best haughty and at worst totally out of touch with the people who pay your wages.

You want to work in the trade and listen to the comments from many customers and how they believe they know better than Chefs,and their stupid requests they make.

And believe me many Chefs think the same.

Could well be the difference between cooks and chefs.

Maybe when he gets to China Chico can learn to Fook Hing Kook

''This is not Pad Thai at all''





Idiot.

AO Look at the menu I take it you think they fly over the meat everyday.?

^Why not post a fake review on tripadvisor claiming this?

A few other suspicious diners might come out the woodwork
