Not been to our local Korean place for a few months, so opted for a lunch there today.
A smaller selection of the 'freebie' small side dishes than usual, but good none the less.

Some deep fried mozzarella and prawns to nibble on.

Tried one of their kimchi omelettes. Tasted better than it looked.

I went for a spicy seafood noodle main, which really was spicy. Packed with seafood though, mussells, prawns, clams, squid.

M'Sahib perennial favourite, tuna salad with some washabi.
https://teakdoor.com/images/imported/2021/03/466.jpg
I washed it down with a litre jug of Leo, M'Sahib had a passion fruit and soda. 1200 baht the lot.

It does look really good - esp. the spicy seafood noodles.
It all looked good but the kimchi omelette got my attention
Mine as well. It can't be too hard to do. Top that with some Sriracha and a cold be....err iced tea and it would be a nice breakfast.Quote:

There was in fact a strange story associated with this lunch.
I'm not so good with chilli and it wasn't long before my nose started to run uncontrollably. I had a look around and the only thing within easy reach was a small pile of my daughter's discarded clothes on the floor from when she'd changed into her swimming costume earlier. Under the circumstances I did what I think anyone would do... and blew my nose into my daughter's dirty knickers. After I'd finished lunch I dropped her pile of clothes into the dirty linen basket and thought no more about it.
Little did I know that my wife soaks underwear in a bowl of detergent before sticking it in the wash, and on finding my daughter's knickers containing a strange gooey liquid became worried and started questioning her about it. This was when I became aware of what had happened and was faced with that classic dilemma... do you admit to using your daughter's dirty underwear as a handkerchief of just keep schtum. I decided to do the honourable thing and say nothing... these things usually go away... until that was the wife started talking about seeing a doctor. I had to come clean and admitted the whole thing... and you would not believe the look of simultaneous disgust and disbelief I received from my wife and daughter. It made me quite uncomfortable.
^ I was going to post a photo of the lasagna I just made up. Got it made before the heat and thought about having it for lunch. But too hot to cook it now
Mendip's post has to stand alone for a while. Just a classic male fuck up and reaction. Maybe put the photo up later in dinner..:smileylaughing:
What the actual fuck Mendip.

From the look of the dog's eyes, some of those random 'leaves' may well be marijuana. :)

^^ I was trying to change the mood from Mendip blowing his nose, but I have to admit that his post will go down in TD folklore.
On the lunch thread too.
https://teakdoor.com/images/imported/2021/03/547.jpg
Anyone wanna hire the sick fucker as an after dinner speaker, or imagine him as your best man. Yeah, maybe not :)
It took me a while to figure out what you meant by standard pizza sauce, I kept thinking of olive oil, but I guess you mean the tomato based sauce used on the base. I have no idea what a 'salad sauce' would be like in this context, any photos?Quote:

I'm not sure if I'm currently retching due to the memories of the thousand island 'pizza' sauce, or Mendip's tale.

Strigils, I do sometimes wonder if I'm holding it together.Quote:

And don't forget my gardener who just has a standard 'yes, boss' answer to anything I say... and then continues fukking something up as though I don't exist.
None of them really pick me up on my bad habits, although the daughter is fast becoming quite critical. And when I say 'isolated lifestyle', there's loads of people around of course but my Thai/Isaan is limited and the few conversations I get the gist of don't really interest me. I like my dogs.
But anyway, apologies if the lunch thread wasn't the ideal place for my nose blowing story but I don't think there's a thread that's a perfect fit.
And... the purpose of this post... the 'hairy beef'... this is a new one on me but what else to call it?
It was quite nice by the way, especially dipped in the chilli sauce... but then my nose started to run...
https://teakdoor.com/attachment.php?...7&d=1616239393
And Mendip pops my Ignore List's cherry.
I'm actually going to regale that story to a GF tonight, just to gauge the reaction.
'This bloke online called Dillinger was eating spicy food right, but there were no tissues around....'

Anyway, good location, quiet with excellent views over the sea at Rawai and some of the adjacent islands. Service was very good, as was the food. Surprisingly quite busy which is reassuring for its longevity. They opened in Phuket in March last year, just in time for the lockdowns and decimation of visitors.
Don't often see this in Phuket restaurants.
https://teakdoor.com/images/imported/2021/03/697.jpg
They specialise in craft fruit drinks, smoothies, and coffees.

A tuna tartar kept M'Sahib happy.

My buddy's wife went for a vegan burger.

My buddy tried a half rack of ribs.

With me going for what was a light version of a Sunday roast with beef.
https://teakdoor.com/images/imported/2021/03/702.jpg
Some necessary lubricant.

We shared a cheese plate which came with some warm muesli bread.

That looks very decent.
^^ Fark. That looks great.
Desserts and Cheese a bit underwhelming.
That redcurrant thing looks like its been sitting there for a few days.
Mains look good.
As does the location.
^Tough crowd. I would happily stab someone in the eye with a fork to have a go at that.
As would I....Quote:
