gpdjohn Posted April 13, 2008 Share Posted April 13, 2008 I sat and watched the "chef" there deep fry the chips until they were burnt into submission..kinda freaked me out seeing extremely dark chips like that.. "extra crispy" I guess... and then placed 'em under the salamander, I guess to get them even more "extra cripsy".. But other than the taste..they held up to the salsa pretty much. I had never seen no less eaten chips that "brownish black" before.... Man, I gatta go get some Mex and wash it down with an ice cold techate...mummm Comida mexicano mak mak loy jao ( Spanisthai) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ulysses G. Posted April 13, 2008 Share Posted April 13, 2008 I wonder what you are referring to. I don't think that they serve any kind of "chips" other than tortilla chips which are a commercial brand that have already been cooked and which I have never seen "burnt". Have they changed the recipe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have they changed the recipe? Yes, UG..they musta changed the recipe cuz I watched with mine own two eyes ...tortilla chips placed into the fryer ...removed, deep deep browinsh color, drained, placed under the salamander for a few more minutes, removed, cheese'd, again under the salamander, removed after a few and then served. Extra crispy. And I ate 'em. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Austhaied Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 @AusthaiedI'm little bit astonished about your enthusiasm for Miguels Cafe. Are you involved in this business or is your best friend running it? Neither. I'm "astonished" that you would ask such a silly question. I guess my glass is half full i suppose.

cnxmike Posted April 19, 2008 Share Posted April 19, 2008 (edited) Maybe we should split this forum into three forums: 1. Good places in Chiang Mai to eat Hamburgers 2. Good places in Chiang Mai to eat Mexican Food 3. Good places in Chiang Mai to eat anything else Doing so would save a lot of us much time. So we would not have to scroll through all this Hamburger and Mexican Food postings. Edited April 19, 2008 by cnxmike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Extra crispy. And I ate 'em. I went by Miguel's today and had Wavos Rancharous and it was great!. They told me that the tortilla chips are the same ones that I thought, but they buy the dough and fry it themselves so that the chips are very fresh, rather than buy them in bags. They always looked really good to me, but I usually avoid them because of my weight. Edited April 24, 2008 by Ulysses G. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thecatman Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 Best veggie restuarant & my overall favorite in Chiang Mai - Khun Churn on Nimmanhemind Soi7. They've got a dynamite lunch buffet for 60 baht, nice setting & in the evenings there's a chance of decent music too. I'll second that, I've been here a few times too, they have an unbelievable selection considering the price (I think it's 75bt now). I'm not a vegetarian myself, but would still consider this as one of my Chiang Mai Favourites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Light and tasty, not so much heavily fried food as at KC or the two veg places on Suthep Rd near Wat Suan Dok, which are also pretty non-impressive. I also like the CM Vegetarian Centre on Mahidol, but the new place at Wat Suan Dok is still the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ulysses G. Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 A Thai friend told me that his favorite veg place is about 1/2 block inside the Chiang Mai Gate (in the old city). I finally tried it the other day and was impressed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ulysses G. Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 Sorry, but I found it without knowing the name. It has big yellow and red canvas hangings (I think those colors are for "J" or vegetarian restaurants) out front and on the glass has a Chinese name and mentions something about being vegetarian. I think that it is the only one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very very flavorful vegetarian cuisine. Had the khao phat nam liap and it tasted like some kind of cajun/thai fusion. Fantastic! Every other dish I tried equally delicious. The PunPun name should have registered with me previously. I've been acquainted with Khun Jo Jondai since I came to Thailand. I really dig everything he's about and I'm very pleased he's found a way to mainstream his message and make it more accessible to people.. Think I'll take another trip up his way this week and see what's shaking. http://www.punpunthailand.org/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having spent hours trying to sort out such threads believe me when I say I am not interested in doing it in this thread. There are plenty of Hamburger etc threads to satisfy the food specificists and this one will remain generic for food of all types no matter how much time it will save people such as cnxmike.

I recall eating BLT's in the restaurant of the Buena Park Hotel, before Grandma died in 1954, so let me go out on an extraterrestial limb and say it was definitely the best BLT sandwich I have ever had in the Milky Way. But it was not as good as the Milky Way bars in America. But not being fluid in French, I cannot claim to be a raconteur, connoisseur, provocateur, or purveyor of pernicious anemia. As for the BLT, the bread was magnificent, the lettuce and lettuce were both crisp, the tomato had great flavor, the atmosphere was convivial, and the parking free.
