In that case, I hope it was sitting in Tops fridge for a week. It's cooking now.

The Tops at Central Bangna is really nice since it's been renovated.

1000 baht all you can drink Katy I'm in.

You are right KT, they had some Thai turkeys in there today. Also spotted some Melton Mowbray pork pies in the freezer

Cheers, TP

Ready to eat.



Verdict.
Overall: Not badio but not goodio.
Flavour. Not bad. 7/10.
Tenderness. Not as good as British beef but I've eaten much worse in Thailand. 6.5/10.
Would I eat it again? Yes, probably. Good enough value at 115 baht for a steak.

Nice frangipani-inspired floral plating...

^ Yeah, it's nice. It matches my frock.

Banoffee.

Nev paying 890 per kg for local beef is way over the odds I'm sorry to say. If it blew imported meat off the plate it'd be fair enough, but having bought local meat and been highly disappointing (a loooong time ago) there's no way I'd ever touch it again.

Here's what 830 per kg can get you. I buy this often and it's always very good for texture, flavour, and juiciness when cooked medium-rare. The pic doesn't do justice, they're restaurant quality steaks. I'll post some pics of what they look like cooked in the next day or two.

Must add, I prefer a bit of fat in my steaks but there's leaner pieces available too.

^ you can say that again

Boerewors Sandwich. (light dinner)

The missus hamburgers.

Go on then teerac, i will have another

Chicken curry with fresh bamboo.

^ Very healthy with the lashings of Caesar sauce, Parmesan cheese, bacon bits, and it wouldn't surprise me if those croutons were actually made out of a fried slice.

Agreed, yet the so called "bacon bits" look on the artificial side.

- 2 points.

Is that a rib-eye steak, Headworx?

^Yes mate it is. AKA Cube Roll and Scotch Fillet.

Is it me, but the does the "Natural and Safe" bit on the label seem a bit desperate?

I expect all my meat to be safe when I purchase it.

Looks a nice hunk of meat BTW. Got some marbling that when rendered should be well juicy.

I'll give it a try if I see some on sale.
