Specialty Coffee Shop seems to be easily found around chiangmai.

However a real perfect place would rather be rare.

I love to hang around those coffees and try to have a descent espresso / or latte, then I have just figure out where ever the coffee is originated from Hillkoff, Bon Cafe, Aroma or doi Chaang most of them would be local arabica from hills around this area.

The threats really just differ by the roster. Not really what i would call making a difference in the products.

To tell the truth I have just miss those south american coffee, the guatemala or panama. and real jamaican blue mountain.

and if i could put to my christmas wish list is to have a peaceful slip of the hawaiian kona.

Can anyone guide me to THE right place?

CMU parks are also a good place

I would be interested in hearing from those of you out there that have coffee machines, where you buy your beans; what is the price per kilo, and a little about the beans. Like the aroma, taste, etc.

I have been using a Mocca blend, that just smells and tastes great. but a little on the pricey side.

Be interesting to hear from you.

I would prefer Doi Chang's Peaberry and Nacha's Silver Label.

The first one is because of its strong aroma and flavor and the second it is just smooth and has very nice aftertaste.

Last year I used to buy raw milk, to be later pasturized at home at 12 THB per Kg.

Now days, It had jump up to 20 THB per Kg.

If the Milk from those collecting center here in Chiangmai has raised that much, I would not be suprised with the butter price or any other dairy products.

Hi,

I am wondering where I could get some raw cow milk in Phuket?

I would need around 150 kgs a day to make some ice cream and other dairy products...

What is the price per kg?

and Where it does come from?

Thanks.

Sounds fun

Guys,

"J' ai simplement faim!!!" by reading this.

A Tour of French restaurant is starting...

Merci for all advices

Nä

guys, I love this one

2008-04-01

I use to bring my dogs to "Orb Karn", Hang dong - Sanpatong area.

It is a good site for both men and dogs to swim and promenade together.

It was started by a coup de coeur...

to simply fall in love of this town

and now our familly just call it our Home.

The place is called : "I-Berry"

The Nimmanhaeminda outlet is one of the many franchised icecream store from bangkok.

But this special place is such a character in its deco, just the right place for the artist.

The subject says it all. Where in Chiang Mai can I purchase 'dry ice' in small quantities? I need to send a frozen package overseas, UPS or FedEx next day delivery, and want to pack it in dry ice. I only need about a 'shoe box' full.

All suggestions welcomed.

Thanks.

I used to buy Dry Ice at the Snow Ice Cream Factory, at the market near the US embassy.

the price should not be more than 30 THB/KG

Please check the CMU Art Center, on Ninnamahaeminda

They used to host on Sathurday evening.

I am not sure if they still have it right now.

Another happy ending fairy tales

Congratuations!

There are alot of whole saler outlet in the Suan Lum Night Bazar, that might be a starting point for you.

Lad Phrao Soi 37 is just 20 min walk from the MRT station.

A ride and park to the MRT will be the best choice to avoid the awful traffic at the Lad Phrao - Rachada intersection.

Have you try the little chinesse restaurant ai soi 35/1? the rost goose is just nice.

I have tried the restaurant on the Nimmanhaeminda St., Hil Side condo 2 opposite to the 7/11. I was recommanded by a close burmese friend. Bring me there and just order in Burmese that I do not understand a single word! She showed me that the most fun part it is to ask the owner to cook something special, not in the menu, which always turn out to be just nice.

I am not a real goumet but those simple dishes can be so special sometime.

Just out of curiosity (sorry if this is a no no, you do have some stringent forum rules - quite rightly - I am still trying to figure out) but when did the yoghurt business go under? Is he no loner involved? As you said, the product ain't bad, but one doesn't want to support meanness. Must visit soc.cult.thai again, its been a while.

I don't know if it has gone down or if he sold it. I was offered the business some two years ago and was given the impression he disposed of it shortly thereafter.

I still see the product in Rimping.

The business was sold a few months ago for just under 1 mil, including name, machinery, and vehicles. The previous figurehead owner is no longer part of the business, although claims to be so in various news groups. The product line will continue to be sold in the same venues and may even expand now. However, until people are aware that the previous figurehead is no longer involved, the business will continue to decrease. Already the shelf space allocated for it has shrunk to half of what it once was.

The Fly Fisherman

Fly Fisherman, where did you get the info on this yoghurt biz?

Are you sure about the settlement price?

Just whant to know,

N.C.

I have an old 2 stores single house to be rent out in the Pa Dad area, 3.5 km from the Police HQ.

10 mins drive from the airport.

You will have a river view but as it is not renovate yet, so will be at a cheap price.

You can PM me to arrange the visit.

Hummus can be found at Rimping, Tops Market Place and Kaserm stores.

There are two brands, which do make this products : Jerusalem and the Chiangmai Pickle King.

If anyone have already try those product can you please share some comments here?

Try the Chiang mai University Vet School (the Small Animal Hospital) next to the PTT entrance on the canal road.

good luck.

speaking of yoghurt makers and such, do any of y'all know if the bakery/dairy/appliance supply stores sell whip-cream chargers? i feel a hankering for a few homemade laughs er pastries...

I do sugesst you to go to Kitchen Friends, near to Nong Hoi intersection. It's on the Old Chiang mai Lampoon Rd, 200 meters, left side of the street, just after the Caltex Gas Station. They have a lot of cooking and bakery stuff.

The owner is a lovly young thai lady that speaks english and german.

I, too, have knee problems and am ready to start looking for a proper sports injury orthopedic surgeon. Smashed my kneecap into a zillion pieces years ago and it's never been the same. Everyone I've spoken to about it has had only one recommendation - go to Bangkok.

I tend to agree with chuchok that a knee specialist and orthopedic doctor are not one and the same. My knee doctor at home, after seeing more orthopedic doctors than I have fingers to count, was the team doctor for the women's olympic downhill ski team. Sports injury specialists are the ones who will know about knees.

Good luck.

TT

yep,I always go by the old adage.."Jack of all trades, master of none "

Maharaj/Suan Dok may be the ops best bet.

Have you try the orthopedic near the Rachadamnorn-Chaban intersection, heading to the three kings next to the car dealer? They are one of the best in town. It is a small clinic but very professional.

Very helpful for my old mom. I would say.

Good luck.

I remember from aeons ago the delicious greek yoghurt I ate in tavernas in Crete and the mainland too - made with sheeps' milk. Rich, a soft skin formed across the top. Some people disliked the skin, I liked it. And yes, with honey - in my case poured, rather than dizzled, on it.

I think in early days of greek toghurt in england some shops, even supermarkets, sold something similar. But subsequently the creamy, flowing, skinless type was considered more sellable on the mass market.

Maybe the Bulgarian stuff is more like the original. Would like to find it; anywhere to be seen in the north - Chiang Rai/Mai?

The Bulgarian Yoghurts are manifactured in my home town, Chiang Mai. I see them in the Rimping, Tops and Kaserm Stores... and in my last trip to Bangkok they were displyed in the Tops marketplace. However i did not seen them in the Villas nor the Market Place yet...

I prefer those Bulgarian stuffsthe BIG plain yoghurt (500 gms) with some additional honey mix into them.

Just Yummy

Thanks to Crow Boy and p1p for the detailed suggestions - though I'm a bit stuck between the two. One the one hand, seems like ambient temperature in CM is warm/steady enough to do the job without the machine - on the other it seems like something is needed to maintain the right steady temperature...... I just hadn't reckoned on doing it on an industrial scale!

I understand the principle of the sugar feeding the yeast culture - just hadn't come across doing it before. I certainly like my yoghurt plain and unsweetened - e.g. like greek or bulgarian. Then I add a good honey and maybe nuts/fruit/jam for variety.

Seems like it's worth experimenting with just nature's temperatures here. Just hope I don't end up brewing a Saddam cocktail...........

One last question - does the milk have to be unpasteurised? Still a tad confused between some of what's in both replies.

Steve2UK, The milk have to be pasteurised... I am sure that you want your yoghurt with only good culture / no bad bacteria...

I also love the Bulgarian Yoghurt form the RimPing, and still wonder when they will make more flavors in their selections???
