Thread: A Good Meal

A noticeable lack of pies on the menu. Or mushy peas for that matter. It's not good enough. Not in this modern day and age.

just I'd want to go home and eat the can of beans that i have in the fridge or maybe some cornflakes.

Beans on toast sprinkled with corn flakes then a layer of grated cheese under a hot grill for a couple of minutes ....... MMMMMM

Crunchy,beany, cheesey toast.

And on Sundays.............. and a fried egg on top.

I agree. I really didn't accomplish 100% of what I wanted to do. I showed some people attending the dinner photos of plates I've put together in the past and this is one that got picked out. It did taste pretty good. The confit is done in rendered fois gras fat, then there was fresh fg added with the corn, shitake and apple. There was definitely too much corn in this one though. The tomato is just a fun way to serve it.

Where? New location...?

^In the middle of Pradipat Soi 10 near Ari or Saphan Kwai BTS. I closed the old one after I found a better building on the same street. First floor of the Roomie Hotel. Its closer to Saphan Kwai but b/c of the way traffic runs its easier to take a tuk tuk from Ari. Just tell them Pradipat Soi 10, its about a 5 minute ride, don't pay more than 30 bt.

Looks great but just a couple of points

Can you alter the type face - that "spider footprint" one is hard to read.

As a long time supporter of the Bill Fish Foundation I would prefer not to see Marlin on the menu

^sorry about the font, I copy pasted off the menu file. As for Marlin, its not something I use regularly, I only got it this time b/c they were out of the snowfish I wanted, Marlin was the only one available. I know sometimes my food is not the most animal rights friendly (foie gras), but I try to consider peoples values when I can. Do they commercially farm Marlin at all or is all of it wild caught? I like the taste but if its an endangered fish I will stay away from it.

Sounds easy enough, see you some time after 2nd June...

It is endangered here in East Asia ( Blue and Black Marlin ) but white or striped Marlin from The Caribbean are plentiful and taste the same !!
They are mainly caught by long line and not commercially farmed.
We catch them around Phuket on sport fishing boats but all strictly "catch and release" - having said that though on the rare occasions that one does die on us ( sailfish as well) Ehem ! Yum Yum !!!

Thanks for your reply - cheers!

^When I asked the sales girl where the Marlin was from she told me Alaska . So I doubt they will know what kind it is either. Probably should just stay away from it in general then, there is plenty of good fish here.

Timber, it is just plain cruel of you to post these pictures.
