Thread: Tasty Yet Healthy Stuff to Throw In the Pot at MK Restaurant (about 200 baht)

Sure you can eat at MK Restaurant and pack a lot of calories and fat into you stomach which will result in an expanding waist line.

I have come up with a healthy choice of ingredients to throw in the pot and also some ways to make the food tasty.

I trust you're going to let us in on the secret at some point...

dont forget the duck with bar'mii noodles!

For me, I just oder vegetables to keep the fat grams and the calories down. I always HATE vegetables growing up, but happen to love these and know how to flavor them up.

If you want more than just vegetables you can order Sarhai song kruang (pork sausage wrapped in sea weed or Ba bier sot (spring roll with crab nd sauce) and this will help to fill you up.

I order One plate - Chute Pak Lek (small vegetable plate) - this comes with an assortment of mushrooms, cabbage, carrots, small ear of corn, morning glory, green onions, plain and fried tofu, some noodles and some other green veggies.

I order one cup of rice and some extra mushrooms (head hom) and tofu.

Then, in the pot it goes......

The secret to making the whole thing tastier than it already is......

1. Khing dong which is pickled ginger.

2. Garlic and green chilies.

3. Nam rat pet (This is the sauce that comes on top of the duck if you order it.

The ginger, garlic, green chilies are all free - no matter how much you use and the duck sauce is sometimes free and sometimes 5 baht or so.

If you add in the pork sausage wrapped in seaweed and the spring rolls, then it goes up to about 680 calories per person.

Not bad for a filling delicious meal!!

If you have the discount card, frequent flier thingy, then the all veggie meal is about 200 baht. If you add the spring roll and sea weed sausage wrap, then it is about 260 baht.

not bad, and you also get some entertainment as the staff dances to the MK theme song. The waitresses were dancing behind me, so this is the best pic that I have!!

I never quite understand the popularity of MK, boiled food, not cheap.

I don't get it but no denying its popularity. Had a GF once that loved it, while I had to suffer, my wife thinks its crap, so I'm happy with that.

dunno where this 200 baht business comes from, me and my gal ate there at least once a week, the bill was usually best part of a 1000baht (with discount card!)

Small vegetable plate - about 120
1 plate of mushrooms about 35
1 plate of fried Tofu about 25
Water 14 baht each - 28 baht

about 200 with member card
with the spring roll and sausage wrapped in sea weed it is exactly 258 baht

I go 2 to 3 times a week for lunch and get the same thing.

I order all the veggies al a carte...

plus some eggs,

gung
pork
beef
squid
fish
duck and noodles
other stuff with seaweed
beer or more.

That explains it!!!

The most tasteless shit I've ever had the misfortune to eat. Never again.

^ Muppet. They give you chillis, garlic, lemon juice and suki sauce so you can spice it up yourself.

^ Whoopie! It still tastes like boiled water.

I only went to MK once, expensive and crap. If you are into that kind of thing then the BBQ type places are much better in my opinion.

Every damn time I take the extended group of my business partners to lunch, including the secretaries, they only want to go to MK.

Actually, I've grown to like it, but if I sit at the table with the really cute secretaries, they only want to eat veggies, so I have to choose between eye candy and hunger.

Crispy pork
Braised Beef
Everything else is shite!

Boiled veges.

No, no, no, no, NO.

The duck and the ginger (without rice) is the only reason to go. Sometimes I do two plates of that.
