I'm Craving Some Poutine En Hostie

[AjarnUan]

Hi everyone,

I'm a recent arrival in Bangkok, from Canada, and was wondering whether there are any restaurants/greasy spoons/street vendors who serve Canada's national entree, ideally until 2-3am. I've already visited Big John's, but his poutine was served on a plate, and the gravy tasted of pepper, rather than gravy. Unsurprisingly, I was crestfallen. So, any places serving french fries/freedom fries/chips, cheese curds, and hearty gravy, in a bowl, in Bangkok?

Failing that, has anyone come up with good homemade recipes, preferably only involving a microwave?

Many thanks in advance.

Using only a microwave...well that's a challenge. First off cheese curds are next to impossible to find, but you may want to try a fresh mozzarella, comes in a tub with water in it, a local brand is Carolina. Cut these mozz balls into smaller pieces. Go down to either a foodland or villa and find a bottled premaid gravy, I don't use them but seen them, I think Heinz is one brand name. Now go find a shop that makes good chips and get a large order. Take the gravy and heat in the Mwave then add the cheese and heat a bit more. Take another bowl and pop some chips in it and add the hot gravy/cheese toss it around perhaps nuke it one more time. Sorry best I can come up with only using a microwave. Good luck!

I haven't tried it but after looking up the recipes, does sound tasty. Here's a microwave version:

I don't think there is an any danger of a poutine food trend sweeping Thailand. Well maybe if its served on pizza.
