Cripes maybe my "show off" radar is broken or something.

Is OP a show off? What do TV readers think?

Wouldn't a less showy person just have PM'd JChef or maybe googled how to cook a steak? For that matter how many grown ups don't know how to cook a steak? Maybe he is recently reformed life long Vegan.

A mouth watering picture would have made the thread a bit more interesting anyway.

well I've always had personal assistants, wives, and maids to look after me. here nobody knows how to cook stuff like that

this committee seeks guidance and or advice from other concerned condominium committees trying to accomplish a much needed revolution for transparency and structure for the future waves of condo buildings coming to Chiang mai

A hot pan is one good way to cook a steak. For good quality meat just season with salt and pepper is all that should be necessary. Getting the correct temperature (doneness) can be the tricky part but things continue to cook once off the heat source so better to take off a bit early and let rest so the juices can settle down and not run out before cutting. One can also cook more or add seasoning (but not the opposite).

What kind of steak is it and where did you buy it?

my god was that good. ate half wish button mushrooms and baked potatoes. yuabi (sp) steak Australian grain fed. gosh it really was superb. in the dates I had a small farm (80) acres and raised organic beef Hereford and this was as good. took your advice pan cooked rare center. rim ping promenada

Interesting reading your post....... sounds great for the beef, but care to tell us what and how much there was to drink ???

..... also tell us if you would, what was the weight of this 2000 B steak ???

1/2 kg

Excellent glad it worked out and you, good quality product cooked simply is never a bad way to go, as I like to say when People ask me how I cook, "Take what God gives us and try not to f*** it up!"

after living in France for so many years I had two (2) pastis. Caught great buzz. Life is good

I respect his knowledge.

WHAT DO I DO WITH IT.

Not to screw it up. Can I cook it in a pan?

Not attempting to challenge you in any way, can you please share some details of why the manager (now removed) believed she had some

right to run it all her way. Just interested, maybe something to learn from this.

we ponder that question daily

lets compare Zurich and Tirana Albania

I have a feeling a certain alphabet agency will be getting payback soon.

Nice to know I have an internet thread stalker. BTW, yes, I do thrive on the macabre. I am a horror writer and a Muay Thai coach, so violence, gore, and dystopian worlds are my mindscape. To each their own right?

It looks to me like all the signs point toward Chiang Mai getting ready to truly take off.

It always seems this way, that I find a nice place, then 5 years down the line, the place is ruined by rampant development.

A sleepy little town in Florida became nationally known, and then ruined.

Then, it felt just like Chiang Mai feels to me now.

Also, I really feel that what happens here will ultimately depend on what happens in China.

lonely planet must follow you around and voila where you land becomes the next chic

For the best value Fish & Chips dinner, Gecko Garden's 109 Baht special any day before 4pm takes some beating and they only charge 20 baht for a coke. The F&C comes with side salad, pickle, there's malt vinegar and other sauces. They normally give two fair sized pieces of nice white fish and usually quite full. I'm not going to say it's the best F&C in the world, but it's the hardest to beat for value especially taking into account the price of a coke etc too. A very good meal for 129 Baht TOTAL.

i never thought that I would agree with uptheos but I do agree this time

i was sat outside loco elvis last night filling my face with another great burger

and i saw a new motorbike and sidecart going round the corner with fish and chips written on it !

when i went round the corner after the burger there he was outside the bank so it was out with the camera and he saw me taking a pic and came to give me his menu

ive not tried it coz i was already stuffed

but for 50 baht ill give him a go sometime

:)coz hes spent a lot of baht on that rig

wow you use the word coz a lot. I'll be sure to wait for you critique on the traveling fish and chip guy coz I really like fish and chips and coz I can afford 50 baht coz it's not expensive

We tried it last week. Just as I suspected, it is "Italian style" food aiming at the Thai market. I went with an open mind, but was disappointed and can't say I would go back. The pizza, as has been said before, has crust like a cracker. It is way too thin and crisp and falls apart when you pick up a slice. It also lacks any flavor. I don't think they use salt in the dough even. We ordered a salad. It came with Thai sweet mayonnaise sauce. I removed as much as I could and asked for olive oil or anything else but they didn't have it. My 4 year old ordered spaghetti carbonera and liked it. It looked to me like there was no sauce on it and it was dry. The g/f ordered an appetizer of chicken wrapped in bacon with white sauce. The chicken was a little cold in the center so it was frozen, the bacon was all fat. The sauce was flavorless.

I don't see the value others have mentioned either. The above mentioned items plus one beer and one water was 560 Baht. We could go to the Dukes and order one of their huge garlic chicken pizzas for 230? Baht that would feed 3, and a salad @ 100-200 Baht, plus another item and perhaps come in even a little less than the price at Success. Or you could go to one of the authentic, well-known Italian restaurants around town with the discount vouchers that you buy on-line and have a real Italian meal for less.

I don't understand all the fuss.

I find your post kind of odd. My Schnitzel came with a garnish salad that had olive oil drizzled on it. No sweet mayonaisse in sight.

I guess the fuss is, for the price of a sandwich, burger, ribs...etc at Dukes, you can get 2 entrees at Success. Dukes has them on pizza though, but I do think that is the only thing that is a better value, but Dukes breads and pizza always give me reflux.

For now Success has been good to me and I will be going back.

reflux. manly kind of a disease. does Rambo get reflux? iron man gets reflux? duh

we ate there tonight. ordered mushroom pizza. it was like eating matzoh pizza.

Today while sitting in the living room with the wife I watched a snake slither along our double doors and under our screen door into the house . Not sure what kind it was but it was about 3 feet long brown and seemed to have a blue stripe running the lenght of his body . As far as Im concerned they are all deadly .

We got him outside with some long poles and closed the doors . I will be on my way to Big C and get a few bags of moth balls . I have been told this works and I shared it with another friend here and he has not seen a snake since . Prior to that he had one sunning on his front steps a few days in a row .....

Anythings worth a try ..

when you say "the wife" did you mean to say "my wife" it's like saying the dog giver more respect than you did the snake

although vibe has staggering good taste everything that I bought from loft form is comfortable and sexy

I have a problem with acid reflux whenever i eat flour heavy things, pizza, donuts, cheap bread, cookies, etc....at Success Italian restaurant i DID NOT get acid reflux...

Just though some fellow acid reflux sufferers would like to know this.

real men do not suffer from acid reflux

I'm sure it's the endless build up of grease on your ceiling from years of cooking schnitzel in fat that's causing the critters to loose there footing. I'll bet the floor has no less grease build up causing them to stay in place while their legs are going a 100 miles an hour.

Otherwise we would all be living in a mansion in the South of France, eating Maine lobster and beluga caviar and drinking champagne every day.

what a meaningless ridiculous posting. I lived in the south for if France for decades and living in Boston as well are Maine lobster often. your analogy is lost on me

I went lasy week, had a pizza, was good enough to go back again for the price. Much prefer Duke's pizza but will go here a lot more often on price.

you mentioned the word "price" two times in you short posting. so you will sacrifice something that you like better (dukes) for cheaper but not as good new place

I very rarely went to Duke's, I will go to Success Pizza more than I go to Duke's. Money is a factor in deciding what I eat, yes.

sad how you dilute your life based on economics

just the realities of life sometimes,

not however the realities of a well thought out rewarding life where everything becomes quantitative rather than qualitative
