Popular Post webfact Posted January 10, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted January 10, 2023 Sanook Thai Caption: Giant plate of food.....yes, only the plate was giant Thai netizens were busy poking fun at a compatriot who complained at what they got at a Khao Man Kai (Hainan chicken rice) restaurant. The poster got one plate of "thammada" (ordinary) chicken rice for the very reasonable price of 35 baht. And one plate billed as the special for 50 baht, reported Sanook. This was said to be "jaan yak" giant size plate. The resulting photo showed no difference between the quantity of sliced chicken and rice on the two dishes - except that one plate was much bigger. Thai netizens sympathized but many said a loud "som nam na", albeit jocularly, as they got what they ordered - a big plate.

Popular Post OneMoreFarang Posted January 10, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted January 10, 2023 The blue plate is bigger. ???? And if the chicken pieces have similar size, which is likely, then there seems to be also more rice. Personally I order and then I tell them add more chicken and add some more and maybe some more and then I pay. Does it really matter if it is 50B or 80B? 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eisfeld Posted January 11, 2023 Share Posted January 11, 2023 Quote Khao Man Kai (Hainan chicken rice) While we are talking about misunderstanding words - he wouldn't have gotten chicken at all if he ordered Khao Man Kai, just cooked rice with egg ???? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Nearly two times the price" would be nearly 100% more, not 60%! 60% is just over half as much again, not nearly two times the price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably an error on the part of whoever posted the OP, not the report. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Closer to 2 x the price than the same price though....! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KhunLA Posted January 11, 2023 Share Posted January 11, 2023 Side by side, and it is a larger serving. Larger plate gives an optical illusion of same size: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
