Thread: Lunch ... the second course

The stuff in the blue bowl looks like something that might slop out from the inside of a dead dog. Which wasn't the item note on the menu, I presume.

I waited 20 long months for this, definitely hit the spot

had it sunday; never fails

Always leaves me unsated.

Would rather the breaded chicken doubled up in a baguette with some iceberg lettuce and lashings of mayo.

For an extra 10 Baht my local vendor adds extra chicken. Worth the investment.

Yeah, still doesn't do it.

The soup and rice bloat the meal, filling you up, then 10 minutes after yer hungry again.

Well decadent, Shutree!

I have that occasionally but don't seem to get any of the breaded chicken, just the plain white breast. I used to get a chunk of melon or something in the soup but they've stopped adding that lately.

Maybe I should offer an extra 10 Baht?

This is the problem in Asia. You have a Thai or Chinese, then 2 hours later you want another one.

Most of the cow man gai sellers have both, the white, boiled chicken, gai dom, and the breaded fried chicken, gai tord. You can choose one or the other or 50/50.
Usually I give the soup a swerve. When it's good it's good. Mostly it is just crammed with salt.

I was based in Yiwu for around a year almost 20 years ago. We used to only eat in the muzzie restaurants. Man do they do up good mutton kebabs and stuffed flaky pancakes. To say the least.

The Aussie bosses would show up every 3 months and we'd be taken out for suckling pig etc on swirly tables and about 9 courses delivered one after another with all the icy cold Tsingtao the waitresses could pour.

The normal Chinese restaurants were surprisingly not like All Yu Can Wok on Sheffield High Street at all.

Mind you I happily lived on that stir fried eggs and tomato dish for breakfast everyday.

I've never found that to be a problem, to be honest Shutree.

Just get another one!

Sounds like a passport run.

200 grams of lean beef went into the making of this kebab..

I’m only disappointed cos you called it a kebab.

Pad krapow moo today (I think).

My favourite is pad krapow vua, but you should never look a gift pig in the mouth.



I usually dine alone but Lola had breached the Kommandant's daytime defences and made her way upstairs, and she was duly rewarded!

Nice Mendy, a favourite of mine as well

Swung by Suphan today to get one of my favourite dishes
