junkofdavid2 Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 Hi! I find the salad bar in Sizzlers to be a pretty good deal. However, the bacon bits seem to have a funny taste/texture to me. I'm just wondering... is it just my imagination? Are they "artificial" or "real" bacon bits? Anyone know the answer to this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeaceBlondie Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 They surely taste and look artificial to me, but they suffice for baked potatoes, etc. They very much resemble soya bits you buy in the USA for a fraction the price of bits of real bacon. Sizzler's one of my favorites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clipped Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 love the salad bar and the tuna parsley soup, i know its not supposed to be soup but i eat it like soup. i think they do something to the salad dressing to make you full, the last time i was there i thought i was going to explode and i only hit the bar twice.

I'm just wondering... is it just my imagination? Are they "artificial" or "real" bacon bits? Anyone know the answer to this? There 100% fake to test if there real or not place a piece on a spoon and squash it with another spoon, if it crumbles its processed junk if it stays in one piece then its the real deal. Got bored one day eating there with the inlaws and tested it out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leisurely Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 But what was the verdict? Real or fake? You didn't make that clear. I don't mind sizzler I do wonder why they give you that thick slice of bread to go with your dinner. Maybe that is what is filling you up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeaceBlondie Posted April 14, 2007 Share Posted April 14, 2007 Surely the bacon 'bits' are fake, probably soy bits. The bread is what we call "Texas toast" back in Texas. I always get either the mushroom or tuna soup, and one round of the salad bar (usually the corn and peanuts mix, maybe a slice of tang mo) while we wait for the main course. Even though I'm stuffed after that, I get one or two little servings of chocolate pudding. My partner is Thai and gives me the extra toast, but I sometimes don't eat a second piece. Compared to the toast in Texas, it has a bit too much butter and isn't as toasted. The salad bar in Chiang Mai and Hua Hin has a good selection, almost equalling what I'd find back home. My annual membership expires in a few weeks; I hope I can get another. As a member, if you buy one main entree and your guest gets one, the less expensive entree is free. Typically we get out of there paying only 350 baht for two people stuffed to the gills and full of Pepsi refills. If you're alone, the membership card gives you a discount of 10% for cash, 5% for credit card purchase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

junkofdavid2 Posted April 15, 2007 Author Share Posted April 15, 2007 Wasn't the Sizzler chain shut down and prohibited from operating in Australia because of violating too many health regulations?It's a poor man's steakhouse but it satisfies a craving for red meat and it doesn't serve buffalo 'steak' like so many other restaurant operations in Thailand. Santa Fe Grill anyone? One of my grumbles is they don't tenderise the meat properly. Who doesn't tenderize properly? Sizzlers or Santa Fe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quoted For Thruth <ouch> Might have something to do with how they keep topping up the salad trays, what happens with the stuff at the bottom...

macone Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 The quality of the food at the all you can eat salad bar and the presentation is one of the best I have seen in Thailand. The Lunch Specials with the all you can eat salad bar is one of the best deals for moderate priced restaurants in Thailand. Also the cleanliness of the restaurants in Thailand that I have been in has been excellent. It certainly is not the J.W. Marriot Steak House but neither is the price.

Furbie Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 Even though I'm stuffed after that, I get one or two little servings of chocolate pudding. My partner is Thai and gives me the extra toast, but I sometimes don't eat a second piece. Compared to the toast in Texas, it has a bit too much butter and isn't as toasted.... Since my GF gets full after her first trip, I always console myself with her toast – the stuff is good. By the way, I have noticed that some Sizzlers have a “marinara” sauce on the salad bar, as opposed to that nasty tuna sauce. I think the one on Thong Law does, any one else seen a Sizzler with this – in Bangkok please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyb789 Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 i agree that there's something about sizzler's that makes you feel full right away... hmmm. Hmm... that's usually a sign of too much MSG. BTW: you don't see Sizzler much in the U.S anymore. I can't speak for the whole country but they've all but disappeared in California. Quality just isn't there and too much competition from other trendy bar and grills that taste ohhhh so much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chingching Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 Sizzler in Pattaya has raised its salad bar price twice in the last few months. It was 111 baht, then 129 baht, now is 150 baht. :-( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sizzler in the US went bankrupt (ch 11) about 10 years ago and shut down many of their restaurants. I dont know how many of the old Sizzlers still exist but they might have been franchisees who just didn't want to change their name. Sizzler itself no longer exists as such but they have a new corp name and new branded restaurants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
