Time-Out Bistro https://goo.gl/maps/28caDKzUsEaB3BKN9

Swiss food. Unfortunately they close at 6 pm already.
Today, we had a rainy day and I took the opportunity to drive there.
My order was the Cordon Bleu, 225 Baht if I remember it correctly (with a soda 245 were on the bill).

As the side dish I chose the fries, others are available too.

Long story short, it was simply delicious. The cheese makes the difference. Not just Cheddar but a very fine Swiss cheese with a brilliant taste. For sure imported, not easy to get it here.

I would estimate the portion about 300++ grams. Couldn't finish it and took the half of it in a doggie bag back home. 
The host and staff are very friendly and caring. Limited seating though.

Shaxian Snacks

I guess this place is related to the place on second road, near soi 6. Not sure though.

The place I'm reviewing just opened about a week ago on Naklua road, next to Lumpini Ville. Before of that Charoern Seafood was located there, now it was split up to a curtain shop and Shaxian.

Today I gave it a try.

Simple but clean interior.

The mom-style Thai-waitress was very attentive and always afraid that some ingredients or dips were to spicy for me. They were not.

We had

Steamed dumplings 80 baht

Tofu with preserved eggs 100 baht

And sirloin powder soup (?) 130 baht

There might be better locations around, but...

The food was very good, price/quality excellent and a friendly service.

Conclusion: I'll be back there soon.

BTW, does anyone know, if Charoern Seafood has relocated somewhere else?
I don't eat seafood so much, but they had other good dishes as well. E.g. Yum toor phu

I was told that in Jomtien fixed deposit accounts were not accepted because money cannot be accessed immediately.

Just used a fixed deposit account in Jomtien for my EoS recently. Well accepted.

Actually it can be accessed immediately, you will just lose the interest rate in that case.

For a good goulash I'd always recommend 'Das Wirtshaus' in Soi Pottisan now.

The chef there was educated by Gerhard who passed away last year. However Gerhard was especially famous for his sauces and his recipes are still offered there.

Weisswurst and Weizenbeer at Bramburi

The Weisswurst is a Bavarian specialty, served there usually until noon only.

Quote

As they are very perishable, Weißwürste traditionally were manufactured early in the morning and prepared and eaten as a snack between breakfast and lunch; there is a saying that the sausages should not be allowed to hear the noon chime of the church bells.^[1] Traditionally, Weißwürste may only be served until midday because preservatives are not used, the meat is not smoked, and hence the sausage is made fresh every day; indeed, they are sometimes called morning sausages. Before modern refrigeration technologies, in summertime the sausages would go bad before nightfall. Even today, most Bavarians never eat Weißwürste after lunchtime (though it is perfectly acceptable to have a lunch consisting of Weißwürste at, say, half past one).

I recently heard that Bramburi in the deepest Naklua (Soi 12), called the German Bronx, is serving freshly made Weisswurst on Thursdays only.

Usually too far away for me and not in a region where I like to go.

Additionally I happen to know that Thomas, the host and a butcher master, has his roots at Hamburg. That is far North from the so called Weisswurst equator - 49° North, where Bavarian tradition ends. A no-go for Bavarians to have a Weisswurst.

However I'm not a Bavarian, but like to have a good Weisswurst from time to time. I tried them from Foodland and Makro. Not freshly made of course and not really good IMO.

Despite of all my doubts, I decided to give Bramburi a chance today.

Surprisingly it was a really good Weisswurst experience, I had.

For 150 baht came a pair of Weisswurst in a bowl of hot water, sweet Bavarian Haendelmaier mustard and a giant warm Brezel. Due to the big Brezel, the Weisswurst looks small in the picture, but in fact they are much bigger than the standard size. I wasn't able to finish my meal. They were definitely fresh, made with nice herbs, as it should be. Additionally I had a Snowy Weizenbeer (what is traditionally a must with Weisswurst) for 95 baht. It tastes similar to the German Weizenbeer 'Franziskaner' IMO.

An additional small bowl of sweet mustard for the second Weisswurst was given for free. Next time, I'll ask for some butter for the Brezel. It should be 15 baht according to the menu, but will give a better taste.

I won't become a frequent customer there, but I'll be back for the Weisswurst for sure.

Bramburi is on facebook, what I don't use.

Shaxian Snacks

Visited it tonight.

The wontons in peanut sauce weren't available.

I even asked my Thai companionship to re-translated my weak Thai language 'peanuts' - 'tuaw', it was well understood, but mai mee - no have. The only dish with a peanut sauce were some noodles.

Wontons in peanut sauce, 100 baht.

Super yummy. A "must order."

So my companionship ordered these noodles. Quite okay IMO, not outstanding though. Maybe just because I was expecting wontons in peanut sauce before.

I ordered:

I had the suey gow (dumplings) and it was the best wonton-like dish I've had in Pattaya

... which were really delicious.

I'll be back

Den Swiss House, Soi Boonsampam.

Since the beginning of the tunnel construction at Pattaya Klang and Sukhumvit, I didn't visit the dark side.

Today I dared to go there again and visited Den Swiss House, Soi Boonsampam.

The main course I had was Chateaubriand with potato gratin for 320 THB. Perfectly well cooked as ordered : rare-medium. Small bottle of beer 60 THB,

The staff is very friendly and attentive. Not comparable to the common West-side waitresses.

In the main course the soup of the day and the salad buffet is included. The salad buffet is very good, three seasonings are offered. The soup of the day wasn't my taste today, but okay in general. In case I would complain to anything, it would be the soup only.

Conclusion: I will go there again for sure. A very good value for money. You'll hardly find a place like that on the West-side.

Sorry, I didn't take any pictures. They are on facebook, what I don't use.
