June 6, 20205 yr Popular Post Observations: Fat Chow, Obese dog ? (Chow is a breed of dog.) Fat Chow, Chow = slang meaning food, so food that will make you fat ? "Original Asian kitchen" with a menu FULL of western food ? Whats "original" or Asian about that. Best of luck ! Oh, and was the color code red & yellow that match Mcdonald's an accident, why not go with McChow ....or would that be too obvious ????

June 6, 20205 yr I am humbled to realize the global geopolitical-economic implications of a closing of a branch restaurant of a very successful enterprise in Chiang Mai run by an American ... almost certainly done for logical economic reasons related to virus caused economic downturn, and/or low season, or, or rent-hike, or, whatever ... ... by a nominally Chinese eatery. I can see now how the aggressive power plays by China in Africa are the cause of so much stress in my daily life in Chiang Mai. The clever trick of Fat Chow in offering traditional Kao Soi on the menu is exactly what the Chinese did in their un-repayable loan power-grab in Sri Lanka. gong xi fa cai ("happy new year") as spoken in mainland China, where gung hey fat choy (Hong Kong dialect) is considered a degrading reminder of colonial adventurism, looting, destroying an entire society with cheap opium, etc. You can get such a great education on this forum ! ~o37;
June 6, 20205 yr Dukes gone from downtown? Oh my. According to their website, the location is still open and functioning. Guess their webmaster didn't get the memo What about the other locations? They going too?

June 6, 20205 yr Actually, if it is related to Fat Chow in Bali, the place is really good. I think it is the same. Asian not just Chinese. Enlarge the menu in the photo the food looks decent. Good Vietnamese sandwiches. Dukes? The same is happening in Pattaya the western places with large portions are mostly going away.

No plan to close like their cousin on Chang Klan, the nice lady said. So, good American rib eyes and New York cut, for only 1400 baht (gag), still available.....

June 6, 20205 yr It's a real shame that no one, even a foreigner, understands the basics of good Chinese cuisine, street food included. All these dishes pictured are some "fusion" mess that retains none of the spirit or flavor of either source. And only 195 baht for padthai goong? Wonderful. Sixty baht for "Garlic fried rice"? What a bargain. At least no Chinese will want to go eat there, that's a cinch. Spend one hour at the Shilin Night Market in Taipei and you'll know what I'm talking about. The first person to open a place serving these foods and dishes ought to not only get an award, but probably a fortune in customers.
June 6, 20205 yr Upstairs . There is an open internal staircase and the furniture is the same upstairs and downstairs .
