SS Sausage (Be Happy)

Be Lucky, I suppose.
 

For sausages I will go to Foodland.

Best supermarket has a decent and affordable Thai beef tenderloin (Grade A).

I went there to Foodland on Thappraya since it's right next to my condo, and bought Brahman Rib-Eye because back in the States I love Rib-Eye. 

 

It looked nice being a thick cut and all marbled and everything, so I bought 5 of them to keep in my freezer and one to cook for dinner that night.

 

Maybe Rib-Eye means something different here in Thailand but it was probably the worst steak I've ever had!  It was so tough it was hard to cut with a steak knife, had lots of gristle, and was not juicy at all, and had no flavor to speak of!

 

I know how to pan-fry steak so the fault was not in preparation.  The next day I tried to tenderize it with course kosher salt for an hour before cooking...and not much improvement at all.

 

If I love American Rib-eye steak, what should I be looking for here in Thailand, and where should I be looking...because Brahman Rib-Eye is clearly not it, and that was the best I saw at FoodLand, so Foodland is not the place to go.

Forget Foodmart for beef steak.I bought a frozen rib eye and when I was cooking it I began to realize it was one continuous piece of meat like a string? It was shaped like a steak but hand formed from some off cut. I was very pissed off with this crap! I should have taken a pic and exposed them.

I like Foodmart, but you are right, I buy very little meat from there, also check ex dates on the pies in the chiller. I like the sauerkraut they sell in bags B90, much better for you than tinned or in a  jar

Yes I'm not bashing them because I still shop there but I don't but meat there anymore. Their bakery is pretty good.

I go to this place in Pattaya for steaks, unfortunately almost all frozen, but good quality, and cheap.  BEEFFER.
