Baht bus up to 15B too now, or they just round up to 50 because they can’t make change ? Sure it's a trivial amount but it still gives you an idea of how these things creep up on us; however, one can still ride a baht bus from the nether regions of Jomtien pretty well to Naklua for only 10b which still has to be one of the best deals going around here. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eight years ago it was 80 baht. Now they are asking 600 baht. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glasseye Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 16 hours ago, maipenrai said: I saw a YouTube video in Thai of how they make these some time ago, I'll try and find it again when I have time; what they basically do is get a quantity of fresh eggs, and knock a small hole in the end of them and drain the contents. They then mix them all up with Maggi sauce amongst others, I believe, and grey pepper and then they use a big syringe or similar apparatus to put the mixture back into the eggs. Then they are placed in a large pot with a jig in the bottom to keep them upright, and are steamed. They are easy to peel and have an interesting taste and texture. Sometimes they'll sell them from street stalls, usually placed three on a stick but I prefer to buy them from the wandering vendors with the pole over the shoulder - they'll usually sell peanuts and snacks from one basket and these eggs, along with normal hard-boiled eggs and quail eggs, from the other. Try them, you might like them... I have never tried these. I will definately give that a go. As long as it is not like Balut (In the P.I.), fertilized embryo. That is a line I will not cross.

I usually ask when ordering pizza to cook "well done", but often they don't do it because they are afraid of "burning" the edges and having it sent back (wasted). I don't mind some burnt edges at all. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't remember what I paid before. But it was damn good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good food and excellent service always, love the place and so convenient for drinks across the road as well. Turn left and the new complex towards the railway is also a great option after. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
