TBWG Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 Hi all Well those of you who know Norbi's of Surin will be pleased to hear that he is opening a minimart and small Bistro on the Buriram Riviera (Friendz side.) He will stock top German beers as well as a large selection of wines all at keen prices, along with a selection of European produce. If it follows the Surin model he will also stock home cured hams and salami's. As well as providing a good menu of jumbo sized meals! All my previous experience of Norbi's has been positive so I look forward to the opening on 2nd April, when I am told free Champers will be available! As for the "curse of Buriram bars" Norbi has plenty of experience of running successful establishments so I expect him to stay the course.

ronthompson Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 I will be in Bangkok and will have to wait a week to try the minimart, always been happy with my purchases from Norbi's. Why not have a Buriram gettogether on say 7 April at noon at the new Norbi's Bistro?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But more than 2 are needed and therein lies the problem Upon reflection, perhaps we could achieve the same objective by all meeting up on Norbi's opening day/night, assuming that is if we are all invited. Now that would assure a good turn-out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave the Dude Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 Nice swish German website with Google translate function but I am still unsure if it is an 'open to all' openning-party ?

I am having a Bums meeting around midday at the New Minimart & Bistro i.e. Farang Food paradise on its opening day 2nd April. This unselfish move is purely to help them demolish their supply of Champers (goes well with Archa!). Would appreciate some Buriram company to help control the Surin contingent who are threatening to arrive en masse! TBWG PS Everyone welcome .... Baseball bats and crash helmets optional!

Dave the Dude Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 Anybody know who will be running this Bistro/Shop?

TBWG Hi Just like to thank the staff of SFP for coping with todays onslaught of Hoodlums. It was a good turnout and I for one, had a nice afternoon (without any punch-ups or SWAT teams raiding the place) The grub was good too!! It was very easy to find to, cos it was OPEN Dave Edited April 2, 2009 by Dave the Dude Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We get a lot of Germans and Swiss, because of course it used to be Swiss owned and they carry on from that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
