One of my Rants about Indian food is with the Indian names of said Indian food.....I have no friggin Idea what most of those names mean....But hey at least I know a little.....I will bet 98-99% of the farangs in Pattaya have pretty much zero idea what those names mean......This is a real problem for Indian restaurants that are located in another country out side of India.... If you don't know what something is look it up .... not exactly rocket science Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As you probably know I fly KLM quite often and have difficulty getting a straight answer to the question, ‘Is it spicy?’ Responses like not really are the norm. I then have to ask is it spicy at all or not spicy, before I get a proper answer. And they speak English. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think I've ever had anything that spicy on an airplane , they have to cater for so many tastes , even the Thai food on Asian Airlines I've used ( Eva / Thai ) is scaled back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Proper Indian food is not "cheap" anywhere because the cost of the spices used in the preparation. I doubt very much that the Beer Hub has an Indian chef preparing freshly made Indian meals but it does have a microwave. 1 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you are probably doing them an injustice. The very friendly Indian owner makes a point of saying all his food is freshly prepared. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Middle feeders will still go if they really want to because they can still probably afford it but will moan like crazy. Top feeders may only notice the difference in the numbers around them. Elite feeders just live in the outskirts, rarely hit town with the normal people and take their holidays outside of Thailand. There are still many Europeans who haven't really noticed such a decline as the Brits. Senders also may start to budget. On my last trip i really enjoyed the frozen meals from 7/11, exceptional value and service..great value. I also treated a bg to a pizza slice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Known as snake bite when I lived in Birmingham. Don't drive home. 😛 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
