Cheap Farang Food Eating in Thailand

**dirtydog** · 07-03-2008, 05:27 PM

Well as I am back working again it means I don't have much time to eat during the day, so it has to be quick, and of course cheap as I probably wont eat it all anyway, ie snacks that can be bought and eaten quick.

Previously when I have been working and it has been the hot season which is just starting now, 7/11 was a welcome stop in the afternoon with their air cons set on 24 degrees, when it's that hot outside you really don't care how many people are in the queue in front of you, it just means a bit longer in a nice clean cool place, so lets start with a nice 7/11 snack available all over Thailand

Hot dogs;

Ok they have loads of different sorts so it's gonna take me a while to try them all, here we got the short stumpy one which is a cheese bite, the long thin one is a smokey bite.

You can see bits of cheese in the cheese one.

3 slices of bread and you got a nice snack.

Whole cost is 24baht and 3 slices of bread, also they will microwave the hotdogs for you if you want, they have a free salad bar, and also all the sauces, both hotdogs did actually taste quite nice and there were no lumps of fat or gristle or stuff only the Aussies would eat, think tomorrow it maybe the garlic sausage

when i used to go diving on koh chang i always used to pop into the 7/11 in Bangbao and get a hotdog with salad for breakfast, cheap and quick. Those little burger things you can get from petrol stations are nice as well. However the slices of pizza you can get in the 7/11 are horrible, even after a skinful of alcohol.

That sandwich needs sauce.....

I am looking forward to your crabstick review...

Your quite right, next time I am going to hit the salad bar as well

Hot Dogs are okay. But did you ever try Street Dogs? Here in Pattaya they get more and more - hard to find. How can I upload pictures here???

Dog, sometimes I ponder my miserable existance here, and think to my self while slurping a bottle of beer isaarn, I really should go home I have been here too dammed long.
Then I read about yr eating habits and think, well one thing about thailand there is always someone worse off than myself.

**dirtydog** · 07-03-2008, 06:22 PM

It's not my fault, I never ate cooked cheese in the UK, nor parmesan, they both bloody stink, not sure when pizza hut first opened in Pattaya but that was the first time I tried something with melted cheese on it.

**peterpan** · 07-03-2008, 06:50 PM

And here was I thinking that being an old cvnt and brought up in the arse hole end of the world I had a culinary deprived upbringing.
As an example I hadn't tasted Garlic until I was 17, as my Mum was brought up in the English style of cooking, i.e boil everything until its near mash and the only seasonaing allowed was salt.

**dirtydog** · 07-03-2008, 06:58 PM

I remember the first time I bought a chicken with its head on from the butcher in foodland, I spent quite a bit of time wondering what the fok to do with it, I mean it aint supposed to be there, also in my time in the UK everything I ever cooked came out of a tin or a frozen food carton, I probably went to the butchers in the UK about 10 times in my life and bought slabs of steak, without the cows head I might add, the supermarkets in the UK the meat I would buy would be stuff like fish fingers and that, not really that adventourous really am I

**peterpan** · 07-03-2008, 07:16 PM

I had not seen a Pizza until I was 18 on my first trip to OZ, I thought it was shit, couple of years later a septic came to me a proposition.
They wanted to start a Pizza company, If I would design and manufacture the kit for them they would cut me in for 33 % of the company. I thought, fvck that, this pizzza sucks, it won't sell here in the country of meat pies.
They sold out their company quite a few years ago for 30 something million.

I love the 7-11 crab sticks... 33 baht a packet I think... bargain.

I regularly share a couple of packets with my SBF... It can also get quite sensual, the both of us sucking those moist sticks out of the plastic sleeves together....

Geez, DD, how long do you want to live?

**November Rain** · 07-03-2008, 07:52 PM

DD, next you need to do those microwave burgers in buns that 7-11 & Family Mart have. Less than 20 bt for one.

Those microwave pizzas are foul. They don't have bloomin' cheese on them - it's mayo!

**Jamie** · 07-03-2008, 09:13 PM

The great thing about this thread is that you took time to actually photograph these hot dogs, taking great care that they were as presentable as a McDonalds advert. However the hot dogs are nothin compared to the 7-11 chilli pork luncheon with tom sauce and a loaf of bread.

I could do the next lot of pictures on top of the toilet seat if that appeals to you.

**sabang** · 08-03-2008, 12:10 AM

I must admit, I quite enjoy a 711 jaunt when i'm aled sometimes.
You never know what you'll end up with, and it's not expensive.
I forget- do they do microwaved dimsum at Thai 711's?
Used to quite like them as a late night snack in HK.

**Happyman** · 08-03-2008, 12:18 AM

I like the 7/11 pizza things!
The Chicken puffs in the rotating cabinet are ok as well- if you can get the bugger out before the next shelf gives you a free 3rd degree burn !

Don't even mention Crab sticks!!!

Did a H&S survey on a crabstick factory in Scotland a few years ago and now even the sight of one makes me feel queasy!

**Doggsy** · 08-03-2008, 03:03 AM

see the problem with the pizza slices is that if i am buying one then i am hungry. This means i want to eat so can never wait for it to cool and so always burn my mouth.

However those chicken puffs are alright if you want a change. I always used to buy a kebab from the lady at the bottom of soi diamond or the guy up the top of the soi coyotes is on. I always had a bad stomach the next day but i am still not sure if it was the kebab or the alcohol.

Can we have pictures of the dim sum next? It never looked very appetising to me..

Whooooaa now hold your horses there PP are you trying to tell me there is another way to cook????????

Edit.... I like the crabstick sarnies from 7-11, aint that sad!

**dirtydog** · 08-03-2008, 10:58 PM

Well today was Garlic Bite Hotdog day, at 12 baht it is a bargain, you may notice this time I actually used the 7/11 salad bar just for you lot, fok I don't eat salad but I forced it down, I even used their sauces, what a mess, all over everything it was, still it gave the salad some flavour.

The garlic hotdogs are quite nice, a bit tough and dry, and they do tend to repeat on you, obviously not something you would eat at lunch time in a normal country otherwise it would destroy any sexual chances you may have got that day, but in the land of somtam your breath will be no worse for wear than the average whore down at your local beer bar after work.

Had a few nachos with this hotdog

**Marmite the Dog** · 09-03-2008, 01:26 PM

*sigh* how the other half live...

**rawlins** · 09-03-2008, 01:35 PM

^^ Are the nachos also from 7-11?

I get a 'foot long' sometimes and get the good lady to chop it all up and then place it in a bag with loads of cucumber and a variety of sauces.... Good scran when pissed and goes down easy...

Also get a pack of sliced fake meat from there and nosh on down straight from the packet.... They have some fake moist meat with bits of chilli through it... Not that nice but I keep on buying it anyway...

Do you like the crab sticks?... I'd like to see a photo of a crab stick...

Naaa, I cheated on them, they are from Food Mart in Jomtien, bloody expensive as well

Yep, I like crab sticks but not sure what they could be eaten with, anyway got a few more hotdogs to get through and then it's onto their lovely pizzas, I don't eat dimsum or that other crap they sell.
