Popular Post edwardandtubs Posted June 2, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted June 2, 2021 I just bought it from 7-Eleven for 69 baht. No it's not restaurant quality but it's not bad for what it is - a 2 minute microwave meal. And according to the packaging 100% of profits go to charity too. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
worgeordie Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 I found the chicken to be a bit rubbery, but it tastes OK regards worgeordie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenDeCosta Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 (edited) Surely you're joking? I've never met a Thai who wants to even try Indian food. Let's see a photo please. EDIT: sorry I just saw it online. Now need to find an excuse to go to Bangkok. Edited June 2, 2021 by BenDeCosta 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post bobbin Posted June 2, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted June 2, 2021 I think it's pretty darn good.. the tikka massala. But the basmati rice is sub-par. I have started to make my own basmati rice with tumeric in the rice cooker. Big improvement. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I stopped buying chicken breasts, the texture is very dense (cannot think of better way to describe it ) they are growing the chickens much too fast, the legs cannot hold the body up in lot of cases, so i just buy filets. regards worgeordie 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post BenDeCosta Posted June 2, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted June 2, 2021 I'm seriously considering turning one of those big clay water containers in my wife's garden into a tandoor. It wouldn't take much, and can get all the spices from ZingStreet. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnny Mac Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 Will have a look, does it come with rice, and is it sold nationwide? Has anyone seen the cheesecakes they do now for 35 baht? Red, purple and yellow toppings, crispy base? They are the real deal, very nice indeed,. In some hi-so bakery they would cost 100bt up. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not too big, but just enough to satisfy a bit of a sweet tooth craving after dinner.... at a crazy good price. I believe their cheesecake slices have the traditional crushed graham cracker crust type base... At least, that's what it looks and tastes like. And the cheesecake part is more on the light and creamy side, vs the thick/heavy and cream cheesey varieties that are sometimes made. BTW, there's also a sponge cake / pudding cup and a couple other Japanese style deserts they're stocking that are equally good... nice clean fresh taste, not overly sugary in the usual mode here.

BenDeCosta Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 (edited) Somehow I doubt that the tikka masala would ever be sold where I Iive. Whenever I cook a jalfrezi or vindaloo, my wife won't even come into the house. Seems very common amongst Thais to have an ingrained hatred of Indian food (and Indian men). If anyone could explain why this is the case, I'd love to know why. Edited June 2, 2021 by BenDeCosta 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
