    The Hit And Run Restaurant "review" Thread

    in Pattaya

    Hello. The beef was some sort of ground beef. I had both the nachos and a burrito. I honestly thought the beef may have come out of a can, perhaps available wholesale or even at Villa market. I'm a little spoiled because at Mikes Mexican they use pressure cooked rib eye steak. Any beef entree is a portion of this as well as on the beef nachos. In addition, at Mikes they give you some sour creme on the side and sprinkle the nachos with jalapenos.  They also charge I think it's 225 Baht vs. a more reasonable 150 Baht a Sue's. I got curious about the location as I had always disliked the overbearing lights at the tailor shop. Then I saw a tattoo shop where the Blue Parrot used to be. No big deal on the location. I'll go again, Mike's is out of the way but I'll also go there and even try this "Dans" if he ever opens? Taco Bell...wish I could buy a franchise and open it here..Do you think a Taco Bell would work? Would Thai people buy food at Taco Bell? McDonalds survives. Burger King as well, but I don't know how BK does. 


    Ok, I guess I grew up enjoying my Mom's tacos and Taco Bell, etc. which all were made with ground beef and very texmex. Eating Mike's flavor with the shredded beef is different, in fact many times I'll order the chicken instead.

    Tried Sues Place, Soi 13-4. I was mistaken, it is the shop house next to the old location of Blue Parrot. That/this used to be a beer bar. The beef was awful, but the sauce is good. Friendly people. I'll try chicken next time I guess. The Palmers has also moved across the street. A lot of shop houses are for sale on that Soi. Seemed like half or more have signs indicating for sale. New Orleans is also closed. They said for years? I really need to get out more. 

    Sorry to hear about your bad experience. According to Trip Advisor in their review portion it's mentioned that it was the old Blue Parrot. My experience here obviously doesn't extend as far as yours so I'm unqualified to comment. BTW the beef I was served in my enchiladas and nachos was superb.

    Robin Hood Tavern on 2nd Ave at the Avenue complex, 2nd floor where All American and Shenanigan's used to be.  The service was good, the drinks and food reasonably priced and it appears that they're having entertainment venues scheduled like a darts champion, live music, etc.  So it appears it may become a popular hang out for some.  The tv's and big screen tv along with the excellent satellite coverage should be a plus also. 

     

    I had the daily special, Friar Tuck's breaded fried chicken surrounded by smoked bacon, mozzarella cheese, spring onions, garlic potatoes with coleslaw all for only 199 baht.  An excellent dish at a great price.  Everything was prepared to satisfaction and the service was prompt but not overbearing.

    Great news. That's the old "Blue Parrot", first opened and run by an American Veteran who either sold it to or gave it to a drunken biker who ran it into the ground. Glad to know it's back open and the dishes look the same! Not that complicated if you just try. Their sauce used to be excellent, which makes Mexican IMHO. Maybe Sue is related to the Veteran. Hope he's in good health. The drunken biker, well who knows and who cares? Ruined a good venue. Thanks and God Bless You Roger Lee.

    Yes, the hot sauce was good and came in two temperatures, medium and hot. I liked both but was especially intrigued by the hot one, excellent.

    Sue's Place on Soi 13/4 between Beach and 2nd Rd is a small bar and restaurant that serves good Mexican food (texmex) and makes a decent margarita. It's my new go to place when I'm in need of a Mexican food fix. Although the service is good be prepared to wait a bit if they are busy as there is only one cook, well worth the wait if needed.

    I had the super nachos and enchilada dish along with a frozen margarita, excellent!

    Why is Thai baht strengthening?

    in Jobs, Economy, Banking, Business, Investments

    You're missing something, probably more than just one thing.

     

    If it takes more baht to buy one dollar that means the dollar is stronger. Right now it takes circa 35.5 baht to buy one dollar, when Baht strengthened against USD it took only 29 baht to buy one dollar.

    I agree so hence my question. If the dollar is strong against the baht now why the "Why is Thai baht strengthening?" In the op's post?
