Is that first time you've been since the ownership reverted back to Retox ? I was there in March and the food was terrible Edited July 8, 2019 by Stillearly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was there in March and the food was terrible Yes. I went mid March, under the old people, and we waited an hour only for them to deliver an s+k pie for the gf, who had ordered a fish pie and who doesn't eat beef. No problems correcting the mistake, but another wait at past midnight and we changed the order to a take away. Was hesitant to try it again, but the new people have improved it immensely 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They did do a lovely ale to wash it down- waddled off suitably stuffed after it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thai Spice Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 Tried to made pancakes today. Or how something simple becomes a pain... milk, flour, eggs, butter, salt, sugar... Showed the Miss on Youtube how it is done, just for her information, and I start mixing my ingredients. Of course "no, not like this, blablabla.... Now the hair on my arms starts to turn itchy. How the hell you know how to do, you never eaten this..." Anyway I go my way. Semi success. Looks ok, taste ok, but not special. Now she takes a small bowl of my mix, adds mashed banana (way too much of it), in the pan...her first one is ok. Way too sweet for me, but hey... Second one, she decides its not sweet enough, so more banana... Needless to say the result in the pan looks more like scrambled eggs than a pancake ! Start eating it (face....) but after 2 spoons "I think better throw in the garbage..." Face has its limits...Old frog big smile ! Ok, why the orange colour ? Because I bought something, written in Indonesian, that I thought was to give on orange / mandarine taste. Turned out it is a colorant... Too late, its in the mix already ! Her turn to smile .... Next time I'll to find vanilla. When I am eating MY last pancake she ask to taste "Mmmm taste nice like that" .....Grrrrr.... been trying to explain since 1 hour this is the way to do .... Sorry for the lack of Grand Marnier or cognac, but $$$$$ 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry for the lack of Grand Marnier or cognac, but $$$$$ I'm sure you'll love this..... On the rare occasion I make pancakes I get one of those little yellow bottles. Fill it up with water, shake and pour. Throw out the bottle and eat the pancakes with some real maple syrup. They are as good as the ones Mom used to make from scratch. And no mess. Yeah yeah I know Seppo laziness, etc. But I don't eat them often. If I bought pancake mix, etc. it would go to waste. The clean up with this is so easy, it's cheap and the quality (IMO) is good.

It only costs around 150 baht but gives 10% discount. The above was 400 baht for the two of us, so certainly not expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
