Thread: What did you have for lunch?

Rib eye steaks for lunch!

Carrots, potatoes and onions in olive oil simmering in the tin foil.

^Wow, looks nice.

I had sausage and fried potatoes at PB. Not another customer in sight. Too bad, because it's a very nice place....

Love this stuff, its off the "luuk chin" cart and is deep fried. Must be a million calories in it but I dont care, its delicious.

"What did you have for lunch?"

Breakfast.

Spin, I take it that you are one of those lucky individuals who can eat mounds of food like that, without having to worry about your waist line?


Unfortunately, my own waist line disappeared far too many years ago!

Beans on toast.

Not at all fella, I gained 7 kilos in 3 weeks on a recent trip back to the UK.

I have to run 5 km a day just to maintain my weight

Not working for me anymore!

^ If you want the truth, it isnt working for me either. Looks like the pair of us are having to step it up to 8km per day
Fact is, I love eating and Thailand is one of the best places in the world to be in that respect.

I agree. I've actually lost weight after living in Australia for 18 months (less 2 months over last Christmas spent in Bangsaen).

And you should see all the yummy dessert things they have in every supermarket. I mean these things should be 'prescription only' !!

Your joking right? Most decent food is imported and therefore expensive. Most attempts at real food here are a joke.

After spending a weekend in Saigon, it puts things very much into perspective.

Oh, and I recognised the rice and boiled egg at lunch but I have no idea what else I was eating.

Noooo, I got loads of favourite haunts that serve perfect food. If all the girls vanished out of Thailand tomorrow I would stay for the food, sunshine and my motorbikes.

Fish and Chips lunch at Sizzler. Just so so. But, it's only 169 baht and that includes the salad bar which is 139 by itself. So, for an extra 30 baht you get a flat piece of fried breaded fish and a plate of french fries.

Spring rolls - did a piece for Timbers thread on Ideal Meal - realised I had the stuff in the fridge and got carried away !

soup...

I like the chopped steak there, but by the time I've stuffed myself in the salad bar, I really struggle with the main course.

It's a salad bar, not "all you can eat for ten cents"..... (that's "ten pence")

But I like the stuff there (except the dishes with bloody celery in them). Thai food tends fuck vegetables up, so I tend to gorge on them when I get the chance.

Oh, and 10 cents is more like 5 pence.

The remains of a turkey, stuffing and potato pie that my wife cooked on Monday, together with boiled white cabbage and gravy.

Very nice indeed, the last such stodge before returning to LoS I suspect...

left over pasta and cow pad muu

You're right, the salad bar is quite good and full of stuff you won't often find elsewhere. I like the broccoli and asparagus. Yesterday they also had some blanched spinach that was loosely rolled in to balls that was just delicious.

I did manage to limit myself to one plate, though. If I get salad bar alone I often consumer three our four, plus that chocolate mousse thing they have on the dessert tray.

Sure, rub it in....

The jelly goes well with the chocolate mousse.

When I lived in bangkok the salad bar was always 99 baht so I was there about once a week and managed to polish off 3 or 4 plates + soup + desert

^It went up to 110 baht a couple of years ago and most recently to 139. That's here in Korat.
