Makro has nice tenderloin cuts from Australia, at about 1,000 bahts a kilo. Other good cuts too

"Cheap"........ was looking at steaks in our local supermarket, Bangkok, tenderloin from France 1,900 baht/kg

So these NZ cuts look a good deal, will have a look at Villa later to compare.

 

PM if anyone wants to know the place selling it and other stuff (nothing to do with me!)

An expat grocery in Pattaya had NZ Tenderloin   for 390 THB a Kg.

he is only on Facebook ,does not reply to emails about delivery

to the North,  390 THB is very cheap, he had 500 Kgs  and sold

out fast,

Yup....the Makro on soi 71 had some good deals on tenderloins last time I was there.  Not heavily marbled but still quite tender and tasty.  

Makro in Patong has Aussie Tenderloin, whole, in cryovac bag for 660/Kg, or will sell cut or 1/2 etc. for 690.

 

Once again not well marbled but very tender and tasty. It's my "go-to" steak now, I buy a whole tenderloin in bag and cut it to my liking at home for the freezer. Villa Market? OMG! 2-3000B!... always looks nice but I'm not paying $50 a pound for a steak I'm gonna have to cook myself.

I find the "Cape Verde, New Zealand" location a little confusing.

 

Those 2 countries are about as far apart as it's possible to be, and I cant' find a place name like that in NZ. 

I always feel that the steak here is too tough and not worth it... whereas at my local farm shop for 180 baht I can get a really tender filet... always good. 

Here's a good deal. Lotus in Phitsanulok, Grain fed Premium beef mince. 200 gms, I forget how much it cost. Weighed it at home = 300gm

You mean restaurant steak?

That's pretty good for striploin.

Yeah not sure about the Cape Verde thing, maybe due to me doing the Google translate!

Maybe there's a lurking Kiwi here that can enlighten us?

Very good ! Grass fed beef is the only that has any flavour.  Grain fed is not great.

I've had plenty of really nice cuts from Vila but very expensive.

Also happy with that as striploins one of my favourite cuts.

This thread could be about anything, not just meat, anything people recons a good deal or even a <deleted> deal!
