But I'm a cynical bastard when it comes to restaurant food ... There was no broth , the soft noodles and the beef I assume had originally been cooked that way , the sauce was just thicker ... was full of flavour though 👍 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Golfingboy Posted November 8, 2022 Share Posted November 8, 2022 (edited) 2nd time in my life I’ve eaten something other than hot dogs at IKEA. Damn Inflation is real, the brekkie’s portion is definitely not a size that would have pleased the 340 pound GB. Ah well,~ £4 including the muffin, what do you want ?

But I'm a cynical bastard when it comes to restaurant food ... You and me both. The oversize plates and the "decoration" just brought to mind my visit a long time ago to a restaurant in London's Covent Garden to sample *Nouvelle Cuisine for the first .......... and last time! I was served a steak about the size of a 50 pence piece in the middle of a large plate with a few vegetables to match. Much to the acute embarrassment of a work colleague who recommended the place I called for the Manager and asked him if he was having a laugh? A bit of a scene followed. 🤣 I left the food, cash to pay for the opened wine and departed never to return. *The Emperors New Clothes of restaurant catering for mug punters. 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not been for around BKK 6 years at a guess, can rememeber paying more than those prices in the newest Hilairy beer bar down Soi 4 then. My beer of choice from that list would be a beer Lao at 130 for BKK I'd think that good, maybe I was over-strectching things at "great"🙂 For me my expectations of BKK are to expect higher prices, on the way up to say London prices for drinks. I'd be happy in BKK outside of Happy Hour to pay those prices- am I wrong? Now those prices in Pattaya for a similair decent pool place would be a shock but I think it fair to take my comments in context of BKK where @boydeste was Edited November 9, 2022 by Lemondropkid 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
