Is that the restaurant in front of Pattaya courthouse?

^No, you're thinking of La Baguette.

It's good food and service there.

Some English comfort food...

A Charlie Bigham lasagne

Try the Morrisons 99p microwave Lasagne, you can eat it through a straw.

Indeed, it's been there for a long time so they must be doing something right because the restaurant industry in this town is a cut-thoat game of be good and reasonably priced or be gone.

Had a crack at home made Shakshuka this morning loosely following the recipe and instructions Dirk posted in this thread recently.
Best Shakshuka Recipe (Easy & Traditional) | Downshiftology

Onion, bell pepper, a lot of garlic, + spices being added and cooked down.

Tinned toms added, I had fresh toms in the fridge but the recipe calls for tinned and they worked perfectly.

Eggs added and lid on to trap the steam which cooks their tops, it's all a waiting game at this point which is exactly my type of cooking.

Quick peek to see how we're looking. Next time (and there will be a next time) I'll crack the eggs into 4 different bowls so I can add them quickly instead of making the rookie error of cracking and adding them one at a time over however long it took, which meant uneven cooking times as you can see here

Ready.

Terrible plating and presentation as always, but on top of a thick slice of toast drizzled with EVOO it was absolutely delicious and Mrs Worx tucked in for half too really enjoying it

I didn't have plain paprika at home and only had smoked paprika which turned out to be a master-stroke, really added depth to the flavour. I'm also thinking bacon in the pan would take this to a whole different level, but the Arabs who invented it may disagree

^
gren not allowed but that looks great
much better than the one i had last weekend as the eggs got a bit rubbery

had one in chiang mai last week at some hippie place called the bird nest cafe which was fantastic

Fuck those wet farting Arabs and get some sausages in there too.

Looks awesome Headworx, I haven’t gotten around to it yet. You’ve set the bar high tho, so some finely chopped bacon seems in order to stay in the game.

Incidentally, I was in Makro yesterday and had a scan at the tomatoes. Of about 10,000 on offer, every single one of them looked flawless. Some of you guys are getting the shitty end of the stick.
