moziman Posted October 23, 2004 Share Posted October 23, 2004 Got to be good fish n chips for me and potatoes that will roast properly, otherwise can get most stuff I like to eat here, just have to cook it myself, going to try a pork mince lasagna any day now, should be interesting. Oh one more, Indian food, not one restaurant in Udon, seems odd that Thais don't like it. Also have the same problem with not liking Thai food much, drives me nuts because it looks so tasty, hey ho. One other, good English documentries, Horizon etc Otherwise I don't miss anything about the UK honestly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petedk Posted October 23, 2004 Share Posted October 23, 2004 Some of the good old British comedies on TV. I am fed up with the American sitcoms on UBC. Fresh air, walks on a cold windy beach. My family. Being able to walk on the footpath without danger of being run over by motorbikes or taxis. Driving my car knowing that there are no motorbikes driving on the wrong side of the road. I love Thai food but once in a while fancy good old English food. Most of it can be bought in Bangkok supermarkets and there are many good English pubs. Otherwise nothing.

Ajarn Posted October 23, 2004 Share Posted October 23, 2004 Oh one more, Indian food, not one restaurant in Udon, seems odd that Thais don't like it. Actually, many do, but some call it 'men' (w/ rising tone) 'stinky' due to the use of Ghee (clarified butter) in many Indian dishes... I like the smell, and it brings back fond memories of an Indian GF many many years ago.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RDN Posted October 23, 2004 Share Posted October 23, 2004 .... I miss Shreddies, favourite thing to wake up to ..... Oh, no!! Why did I have to read this thread? Shreddies! My favourite cereal. Haven't had any in two years.... This is a very masochistic thread. Think I'll un-subscribe from this one. OK, time to eat. Think I'll have 3 lamb chops, real chips (french fries for the USA readers ), peas and a couple of cans (tinnies for the antipodean readers ) of Beer Singha. And I'll try to forget all about Shreddies. And Marmite, of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chonabot Posted October 23, 2004 Share Posted October 23, 2004 For an impressive little restaurant try Le Dalat. Pretty garden entry, pleasantly elegant interior decor & food presentation, & great service. Last year's Bangkok Best Restaurants Award, Vietnam category.

Dickie Posted October 23, 2004 Share Posted October 23, 2004 The ONLY place you get really good beer is the UK. Everything else is frozen, cold, crap. Even VB tastes like "dog's" by comparison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

p_brownstone Posted October 24, 2004 Share Posted October 24, 2004 English Indian and Chinese restaurants (is there a chinese restaurant in Bangkok that does crispy duck in pancakes?) Off topic - sorry! If you mean proper Peking Duck, with the skin sliced off thinly and served with pancakes - try Chand Phen - on Rama IV just about opposite Lumpini Boxing Stadium. Lots of other places too but this one is the easiest to find! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

englishoak Posted October 24, 2004 Share Posted October 24, 2004 Real English Beer. Everything else is an accepted compromise. As a result I now drink too much whiskey as it's not that strong here. Inerestingly Cambodia actually has Stout and dark beer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

medicinebox Posted October 24, 2004 Share Posted October 24, 2004 And if you want good British beer you have to go north! Yep. No soft southern shandy drinking bastards up here. Try a night out in Newcastle. People are so much more friendly up here. Loads of fit birds, easy to approach, and you gotta love a geordie girls accent.
