As an obvious connoisseur of fine dining, please report back with your recommendations.  ????

[Grusa]

There is nowhere there at which it is worth thinking about eating! Go up the road to Foodland, Toh Phlu in there is very good, and the exercise to get there will not kill you.

I'm a Shabu fan myself, but they've stopped the endless food train and now you have to order off a menu. No thank you....

So which eatery is your least favorite, please impress us.

Nothing wrong with eating at MK, Santa Fe or Subway from time to time.

Not everyone here dines only at the finest of 5 star restaurants 3 times a day, though from their pretentious demeanour it's clear that's what they'd have you believe.

I've even eaten in the food court on occasion. Friend of mine likes to fly over and rent an "apartment" near Big C extra every winter. Can't cook in the room and he's not a fan of spicy food so every other day or so he eats at the food court. Nothing fancy but every time I've eaten there it's been good and it's not expensive. 

I've eaten c.rap food in 5 star restaurants in Dubai that made me want to vomit. I've eaten "run of the mill" food at fancy restaurants in Budapest and Zagreb that made the food in our army mess halls taste like fine cuisine in comparison. 

I've also eaten fantastic German food in gasthof's in little villages in Germany that no one outside of the village even knows about. I've eaten awesome Phad Siew Gai (or whatever way the romanized spelling of it is) from huts on the side of the road.

I'm not a gourmand nor do I pretend to be. If it's good and filling and not over-priced, enjoy it, regardless of where it is.

I'd rather eat a good meal sitting on a plastic chair at a folding table than a crappy meal sitting in a place where each item has to be eaten with a different utensil least one be considered "uncultured".

The places quoted could rate 1 star between them!

It was perhaps the exercise he took to get to Big-CX which sufficed. I am surprised to see the place in Foodland as being recommended, elbow to elbow dining does not suit everyone.

I was there yesterday at midday for the English fish n chips,not busy at all but they,ve stopped the free glass water,maybe that,s the trade off!

I always thought it was crowded in there because the food was pretty good. "Took Lae Dee" is the name of that place inside Foodland. (Not "Took Lady" - unless that's where you took teerak to eat of course.) 
I see a lot of Thais eating there every time I go but even when the place isn't full you are still crammed in there pretty tight. As popular as that place is, it's a bit of a surprise that they haven't expanded it (not a lot of room for expansion there though without giving up some of the limited parking space they have).

(Seems there is another branch in the Terminal 21 Mall as well. Looks larger and less crowded - in the photos at least.)

It was the food I was commenting on, not the ambience. Besides, with the "New Normal" elbows are not allowed!

They still have free water in the food court. I was there last week and someone had brought all their bottles and were busy filling them. The pie shop across the road is the best value around.

You also suggested the guy needed non-lethal exercise. Foodland leaves a bit to be desired, it is a good shop but the access and parking is poor, it is small and sitting eating at a bar has never suited me. 

There always seems to be roadworks around it of late.

Ate at their Terminal 21 one yesterday, plenty of room and very good service.

I have been to the T21 branch and it is never too busy for me. The egg and bacon fried rice and the onion soup are pretty decent. Cheap and cheerful.

As well as one in the basement of Royal Garden.

They remind Me of the old transit camps at the docks before we were deployed overseas years ago, So much more modernised and to a fine standard , but with food OK to fill a reluctant  gap imo.

[1FinickyOne]

not sure you would cal it dining... but if it is open, I am sure you can eat there.... I think they serve some food with the sugar, oil and msg...
