tko Posted October 19, 2023 Share Posted October 19, 2023 I forgot to take photos at Route 66 today, but as we had three starters, we all brought part of our mains home. Our daughter's Mac & cheese with Kielbasa, the wife's Carne Guisada, and my meatball sub with Cajun fries. 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that I have an issue but I believe we, in the UK, will see all these plastics (including knives, forks etc.,) banned shortly. Seemed to have seen some adverts here in Wales. Presume takeaways will now be in paper boxes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lemondropkid Posted October 19, 2023 Share Posted October 19, 2023 Bahn Mi was so good ordered shrimp spring rolls. The decoration was a dammed good satay sauce, possibly. 120 baht and fantastic 🤤 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Am using them for further shopping.In the habit from the UK it's no bother at all. The charge is something like 5 baht. It would be great if they gave them away for free to the locals. Look at me advocating dual pricing🤯 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boydeste Posted October 20, 2023 Share Posted October 20, 2023 Got to our hotel for the night and walked to a nearby KFC. They didn't do any normal chicken on the bone like we do. Decided on a mix of wings and tenders. Was pretty tasteless and we didn't finish it. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The owner of the shop in Hua Hin where I had mine, was South Vietnamese. She insisted they only used decent chicken and meats in their sandwiches. So I paid roughly $6 CAD, or £3.60 GBP. Very decent price for a high quality sandwich. They were serving Beer Lao IPA too so extra bonus points😀 I'll return for sure and work my way through the menu. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never had the IPA or dark, all I know is the original Gold one is pretty much the best beer ever.....but 13 years ago hard to find because they have to protect their own cash cows, wonder if its widely available now? Last time I believe I had was 2018, 6 pack on NYE cost about$18 CAD, well worth it The night I got robbed, started off with this, was amazing for a draft pint, make that PINTSSSSSS!

From Chicago, maybe @Glasseye has heard of it? Beer Lao Dark is a treat. I wouldn't say either the Dark or the Lager are widely availailable though. Although a friend told me that both Butterflies and Billboard serve it at a bargain 180 Baht😇 Have been to the Goose Island Brew pub, before seeing the Cubs. Both were fantastic, had an Old Fashioned Beer in Wrigley Field, a new one on me. That was before Goose Island sold their business to AB. Wouldn't buy it in the UK on principle, would rather give my money to one of the smaller independant brewers than a brewing giant. However in Thailand now, and I'd snap you hand off for a pint to it😀 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too fucking true mate! I'm planning next year's dates to fit in with local Beer Festivals to try out loads of Independent Brewers all in one go. Also, what has become my favourite pub, changes his ales EVERY WEEK!!! Fantastic choice!! https://www.britishliondevizes.co.uk/ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
