scubascuba3 Posted May 7 Share Posted May 7 1 hour ago, Pattaya57 said: I had a look but thought it was too expensive compared to others (was more like Aussie prices than Pattaya). Here's an example, even their "Friday Special" is 300 baht (and pic doesn't look great) I don't like the look of it, nothing like traditional fish and chips like this one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Celsius Posted May 7 Share Posted May 7 Ah....Camden or Parramatta 1999....can't quite remember the exact spot. Still in my mid 20s after ordering a schooner of VB I was a bit hungry and went to McDonald's across the street. I check out the menu and proudly bark....THE LOT. My Aussie wife looks at me....."are you sure you dag"? Why not....it's McDonald's, what would go wrong? A projectile vomit soon followed. Besides that I enjoyed my trip to Australia quite a bit. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You obviously talking about Sydney Australia Yes the fish in McDonald's is not ....great .

I enjoy eating cakes when drinking my coffee but I would not enjoy eating a potato cake with my coffee. Do you sprinkle some sugar or add a little syrup to your potato cakes?.

Didnt know Mexicans ate shark, you're a funny guy, like-Pad Thai is to Thais the good old Patato cake is to us Australians from Melbourne Victoria, you ask for a scallop there and you get this small battered White Sea food thingo, use to like them once but went off them after a time, im from the days of adding vinegar with the sea salt, but these days I dont mind chicken salt, unfortunately my kids and that generations like tomato sauce which is known as ketchup in other parts of the world, tomato sauce is not to be confused with pasta sauce.... As you can tell we southern Australians adapted to the English fish and chips, tried the cod here in a Pattaya fish and chip shop, if that's all I could get I wouldn't bother and there chips where more like a poor quality home made type, but hey that's me, im rather fond of gummy shark and chips from Melbourne...

SingAPorn Posted Friday at 05:03 PM Share Posted Friday at 05:03 PM Deep fried fish ? Deep fried fries as to my knowledge, chips are not boiled !!!....not to mention that delicious white mayo sauce....the best diet to feed dangerous heart problems with age and enjoy Thailand only on a 30day visa waiver.
