Wedding tonight so Laab Moo, Som Tam and Lao Khao.

Wife out did herself, an excellent Beef Massaman 👍

 

Think she's trying to take away my reasons for heading O&A southward.  Add this to things not to order in restaurants, all things beef, Yank Brekkie, and any type of sandwich.

 

Today's dinner. Dinner time for me is around 11am.

Chicken curry on a bed of brown rice made by Mrs MD.

Lovely.

 

Green Curry Chicken, Smoked Chicken Breast, and Salmon w/Penne pasta ... 

... Thank You 7-eleven ... 

 

I feel embarassed to admit, but the McDonald's in Thailand are far more fresh and tasty then those served in many western countries. Not to mention in the USA where the bread and service and quality was a disgrace, if compared to Thailand, 

 

This being said, also embarassed to say Indian food in great in Thailand. Reasonably prices compared to similar quality in India.  

 

Strangely, never managed to find a decent Chinese restaurant service the good old chicken shop sues, a decent egg fried rice, or the beef sauteed in oignons. Top level hotels did have but was not able to find a decently prices one. 

 

The scam in restaurants in Thailand however is with the italian restaurants, that are far to expensive and overcharging the guilable et naive patrons.

Same with Burger King & KFC.   

 

Something else I find strange, locals do a better job at western food also, than the expat managed restaurants, especially if the expat is cooking.  Italian & Brit food anyway, as don't do much of anything else, and actually rare to have Brit food, but couple places in Udon Thani were good.

Hi, where in Udon Thani is good for Brit food?

I've just got back from Haiti so a little tired of rice / spaghetti.

Thank you.

2 were very consistent, one closed now, this may be yet another reincarnation of Mali & Steve 

 

@rickudon  can you verify, if run by Mali, or one they sold and still going as Steve's 🙄

 

Steve's Bar and Restaurant (?) ...

MdDonald's is total garbage compared to Prime Burger. 

 

Fine dining @ KFC ... Zinger & couple scoops from Swensen's

3 lite servings for some variety ... tasty stuff 😎

 

 

Don't think I bought pasta the last couple years, cutting them starchy carbs out.   And 49 vs 69 baht / 500gr bag 🤬 

 

Meatball sandwich ... big surprise.   Need to think of some new munching ideas.  Mexican maybe, as haven't had in a while.

Call it Mongolian Beef & Roti ...

 

 

 

 

 

Never cooked a meal in my life, but going to have a go at a poached egg tonight.

Hope it's ok - from yesterday evening. Planned was a Club-Sandwich, but we didn't find the matching toast. So it became "just a sandwich".

If you say so, McDs is always trash, but they are consistent everywhere, except India where they don't sell burgers. i avoid it like the plague.

 

Indian food is average at best and overpriced. Nobody has idli and sambar or gobi 65.

 

Chop Suey is an American/Chinese invention, They do not make it in China. You can get decent Chinese but it is closer to real Chinese. It is much better in Shanghai. Khaopad kai is available everywhere, 

 

If you can't afford western restaurants, don't eat there, The local food will always be better than the local interpretation of foreign food.

Yesterday, "Pasta al Forno"

 

 

Same as Jack. Chicken salad sandwich.

 

 

Simple and easy. Mostly done in the oven. Italian marinaded chicken breasts, roasted potatoes and onions. A green salad that pickled onions, tomatoes and croutons can be added to.  A nice gravy as well.
