NomadJoe Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 I've eaten at the Farang restaurant regularly when it was located at the back of BigC and the food was excellent. It was always full. The portions were fine with me. I do go for quality over quantity though. It's still there. Ate there a couple times recently and I concur with some of the others that say the portions are small, but the food is always good and decent prices. I didn't know the Nai Harn one is the same co. ------ Ever since Don's closed I have been looking for places to get good burgers. Superburger opposite Cheers bar in Nai harn is a good replacement. The Philly Cheese Steak is as good as any I had back home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom01 Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 Bangkok burger co on bangla road does AWESOME burgers!! Not the cheapest but certainly worth the money. Service is great as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LivinginKata Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 Think Joe was looking in Naiharn/Rawai area. If he wanted to travel to Patong then he might as well go to Big Bill's. Awesome Cheese Steak Sandwich. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom01 Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 Sorry taught it was just in general about everywhere in Phuket. Yeah Big Bill does a nice cheese steak sandwich for sure! But the burger I had at bangkok burger was really really good. And to be honest I also had a good burger at Gallery cafe in Phuket town, didn't expect it all, but it was tasty for sure!

Valentine Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 I had some nice meatballs with a rich pepper & mushroom gravy at Fruits of Trang yesterday on the corner of Wichet & Saiyuen. It was served piping hot as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I noticed that place for the first time when I went jogging past there the other day. Wondered if it was any good. Will have to try. For Indian food, I may have mentioned before, but Sabai Sabai half way along Taina Rd. in Kata, next to Calypso Divers has exquisite curries. Just be prepared to wait a little longer than you might want to if it is busy. They have a very small kitchen. Super friendly Nepalese/Thai owners. Reasonably priced. It's just up from Bluefin Tex Mex which I mentioned in an earlier post. Also probably mentioned a bazillion times is Fatty's. Went there tonight again. Really great food. Massive servings. I recommend the goulash and the chicken cordon blue, It's unlike any I have had in Thailand. Real mash potatoes too. Wow. Next to Chalong Gym on Chao Fa East. Finally tried the "Breakfast at Tiffany's" at Tiffany's on Vijit road nearly opposite Vijit resort. OJ and several all you can eat buffet items along with 2 eggs prepared as you like for 179B. Had a bacon and cheese omelet. Yum. One more: Moo's on inside corner of the the 90* bend of Soi Saiyuan. Chef and some staff is from Don's Cafe. The ribs are as good as Don's were. Falling off the bone. Edited July 13, 2012 by NomadJoe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hostile17 Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 I have gone to fatties maybe 5 times lifetime. Food was always ok(can add a few extra points because of plate size) but nothing really exceptional in terms of cooking. I tried the cordon bleu last time i went there and it was quite horrible. Worse than a ham/cheese sandwich at 7/11.. much worse. Extremely dry chicken and there was stuff wrong with everything else including the cheesel. My girlfriend loves cordon bleu, even cheap ones, i made her try it and she hated it as well. The chili con carne was not chili con carne but a large pot of tomato paste badly seasoned without much of anything else in it. That was the second time she ordered it in a 1 year spawn and the first time it was the same. We've had chili at hundred of places and no where was close to this. The owners probably read thaivisa so i am hoping they fire some of their thai staff if its there fault and fix it because the other 4 times i went there it was pretty good value but now i am quite worried about going back. If they do not read here and you are friends with them please tell them to sample food randomly. I always recommended this restaurant to people and it saddens me that i cant anymore. Yakuniku on bypass next to index: Changed their menu. No more special menu. Simply 399baht for unlimited. They recently added sashimi that taste a lot better than those at fuji/sukishi in the unlimited menu. So you can order 2k baht worth of tuna/salmon sashimi for no extra charge. Meat still taste great. 2 new sauces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Somtamnication Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 Not much chance to fire the staff at Fattys. His wife runs the kitchen with hubby. He has been open to suggestions, so why not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sure hope they don't change a thing. I have never had a bad meal there. My only complaint (not really) is the portions are so big I can't eat it all. I often have to take the rest home with me! The hours are difficult to remember. 12n-3pm then 6pm to 10pm. Closed Tuesdays Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pagallim Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 I was also there a couple of days ago, for my usual of Pork Cordon Bleu, pan fried potatoes and side salad. Excellent. I did notice a sign, which from recollection said they were closing for their holidays from 19th July to the 14th August (don't quote me on those dates).

Hey, 17 year old hostility, if you like Cordon Bleu try the one at Moos Tex Mex on the bend at Sai Yuan. Had it Friday night, super good, huge plate, picked up an extra kilo there for sure! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
