Zambo Posted April 12, 2023 Share Posted April 12, 2023 German restaurant in Saigon. Used to come here years ago when there were a few construction guys around. No idea how the industry is in the city now (for foreigners, in general of course seems to be booming) 4 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Krapow Posted April 12, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted April 12, 2023 A trip wouldn't be complete without a trip to Sizzler salad bar. But you're kidding yourself on thinking you're being healthy, well, I am anyway. By the time I've stick lots of grated cheese on top, lashings of full fat salad cream, then cream of chicken and cream of broccoli soup 😁 But sure, it's nice, and that's what counts 😉 2 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last time I was in Thailand I was still eating meat and fish etc. and also a raving alcoholic so didn’t care. if I go back it’ll be not drinking and still eating my vegan/veggie diet. Just not worrying about the calories. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Helps me too much mentally, not to do it. I'm currently sitting in the hotel lobby deciding which of these to have with my ice latte 😁 Also, i tagged you in a post in my trip report a few days ago, about an Indian veggie place I used in Ao Nang, tremendous it was, and had been thinking of you and how you should think about coming to Thailand. It'll be so different sober, do and see so much you hadn't before. 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, planned to do so much but booze ended up taking over. Still saw many places but not enough as I should have. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Golfingboy Posted April 12, 2023 Share Posted April 12, 2023 Trying to walk most days now, decided to cross the tracks & get some takeout at our province’s biggest chicken franchise. ~ 330 baht eq. for this……times have sure changed with inflation. Still a good meal…. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Krapow Posted April 13, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted April 13, 2023 (edited) Not yet, but will be tonight. Didn't want to to take too many pics, let myself down in front of the monied Chinese, relations being already strained 😂 The hotel are doing a Thai food/Songkran buffet. Wife's drooling already. 990Baht, but 10% off as guests, kids and drinks free. Quick snack this afternoon, hang out at the pool swimming with my daughter, then Thai buffet later. Price will work out less than what we usually pay for a restaurant meal in London, around £50/60. And I know it's gonna be quality 👌 Edited April 13, 2023 by Krapow 1 2 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Horizondave Posted April 13, 2023 Share Posted April 13, 2023 (edited) I would be queuing at opening time for the buffet otherwise might be more of an assault course if the Chinese turn up. A few Chinese with a few plates and the lot will be gone. Look out for the double dippers lol Edited April 13, 2023 by Horizondave 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boydeste Posted April 13, 2023 Share Posted April 13, 2023 My mate had a big sort out of his garage chest freezer and the one in his house. Prompted by me eating up all of my old stock since coming home. He had 3 bags of braising steak from the local butcher which he was going to throw away because he wouldn't eat it. I swopped him 4 x cooked liver and heart meals for them. They fitted into my slow cooker perfectly along with 5 onions and two garlic bulbs. Additional spices, tomato sauce, brown sauce, chilli powder and lots of ground peppers mixed into a stock thickened up with Bistow gravy granules. Set it on low at 1330 this afternoon, see how it tastes around 2130 tonight. Hopefully it turns out nice and provides some new meal for the freezer. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely love liver, but one of the worst things for flaring up gout. Do miss it on my vegan/veggie diet, probably the one food I miss the most. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Managed to blag a few kgs off him today too! 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
