Today we visited the "Cold Room" for lunch. I added a link to their facebook page for BLD.... :)
We started off with waygu beef chunks with a dipping sauce. The tenderness of the beef was amazing, as it should be.

The wife had the pasta Arrabbiata, which was a giant portion. I thought it was a bit under seasoned, but we brought the leftovers home for a light dinner and after sitting for awhile, the sauce was quite spicy.

Damn tasty stuff
Looks good Tops, but it seems the beef was just slightly overcooked.
it’s waygu. You need to cook it past rare in order to render the fat.Quote:

Damn tasty...

It's definitely a half now, half later sort of burrito.Quote:

They look great, but I'd be about 300 pounds if I ate all that.
Is that a baguette? Walkers, quite British.Quote:

My God. That does look tasty. I recall when shawarmas first made an appearance on the scene in the philippines no doubt introduced by returning ofw ,s from the gulf . The tastiness and ease of obtaining 1 or 2 as you exited a bar made them the perfect food for drunksQuote:

Giant egg or small plate and portions?
looks goodnonetheless!
^ I prefer it with minced beef and lots of basil, but as usual the name escapes me.
If there's one thing I will leave Thailand with (chance granted) it will be how great a fried egg is on virtually any meal.
Pad krapow nuea I really like a nicely sunny side up with rice as well.Quote:

Today's outing produced this.....
This is the third time we've been to this place, I think it's the Filipino version of TGIF back in the states...Bixby's
First, Garlic Tuna for the wife, she said it was good, but for me wildly overcooked.

I got a very overpriced burger...
Attachment 92104
It was around 800P (510B), which oddly enough is a bit expensive here.
^ Nice.
The price doesn't matter so long as you enjoyed yourselves!
Just before lunch, my wife got a pedicure in the chair next where I got a hair cut. We always enjoy our time out together, it's an honest blessing.Quote:

A place called 'Sriwara Bistro and Cafe'. Only about 1 km up the road from my place, and looked good when it opened a year ago. Gave it a couple of weeks and tried a lunch there. Disaster. Nice place but not organised. M'Sahib was getting her main course and I hadn't had a sniff of my starter. Cut, paid for what we'd had, and left. Anyway, today we ventured back again.
Very good. I like the menu, you can go as up or down as you want, snack or something more special. Decent selection of drinks.
Trying to edit and scratch the facial details out, failed miserably. Beer was OK though.

For me a starter of Hokkaido scallops, Quails eggs, pork and Thai stuff. Spicy but good.https://i.imgur.com/E0Vpvn8.jpg
M'Sahib having a bunch of seafood, including large prawns in noodles, and quite a well carved fried fish.

I opted for a rack of lamb with a pesto crust for main. Very good again.

Delivered exactly how I wanted it, on the more medium than rare side.

Rarely eat dessert though joined M'Sahib with a double espresso and a brandy.

Out for a haircut this morning, so an excuse to roll onto a lunch with M'Sahib. Rain holding off, and not too hot so opted for Rustic and Blue by the Sea, a restaurant with a decent view in Rawai.

I opted for a Caesar Salad (poor choice, far too large brioche bread not toasted enough, and an achovie dressing that was far too salty), followed by pan fried salmon with a pasta and pesto sauce (that was fine).

M'Sahib went for a kind of Gumbo (supposed to include sausage meat which they removed for her), and a pumpkin cake for dessert.
