Full English tips....

[RickG16]

Currently in town and keen to enjoy some good English grub while I'm here. Today I went to Nicky's guesthouse for breakfast.... for the price it was excellent....

 

However it would be great to find somewhere that does tinned tomatoes, and have good bacon. Does anyone have any recommendations for a Full English that ticks these boxes? Preferably in the soi 2 area but not essential...

 

Cheers

OK, sorry forgot to ask what was wrong with the bacon at Nicky's - are you looking for streaky or back?

Didn't say there was anything wrong with the bacon. I said it was an excellent breakfast for the price.

 

I prefer back

Witherspoons has good back (IMV) but they also use fresh tomatoes.

Got used to tinned tomatoes with breakfast in the army, I enjoy both tinned and fresh. Prefer if not too much juice with them though.

More flavour as they are cooked and stewed

Probably has added sugar and salt which is what people like

Salt added as a preservative. Some have a bit of sugar added, some don't. Just got to read the label.

I sometimes fine chop my tomato then microwave it for 30 second. Result is a cross between a fresh tomato and a tinned one.

Hungry Hippo, right down the street from Nicky's has excellent bacon. That is if you like thick bacon that is fully cooked.

If you go to Robin Hood Tavern, at the Avenue Mall on 2nd Rd, you can have tinned or fresh tomatoes. They have a tick menu so you can build your own brekkie. It is quite expensive but is of a decent quality.

The black pudding tasted like the Bury variety, not to my taste really. The fresh mushrooms turned out to be tinned, so best avoided. Bacon and sausage were first class.

Expect to pay around 400 Baht, more or less, depending on your appetite.

Black pudding here tends to be hit and miss. One of the best, for me anyway is stornoway black pudding.  ( ???? I know it's too far to go in the morning ) It doesn't have great lumps of fat or bits of hard barley in it.

Wish someone would import it to here.

No problem, I should have posted sooner about brekkie. 

All the best.

The best I have had here is at Nicky's. I thought they had given me 2 pieces but it was one very thick piece. I guess it was deep fried but, by heck, it was good.

For me it's best fried until the outside is a little bit crispy.
