barryofthailand Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 Where is the best hamburger in Pattaya?... excluding the ones made at home. Thailand doesn't have any good hamburgers pursay, but the closest to a good old American hamburger is Henry J beans on the beach, about 350 baht which includes the fries.

There's a world of difference between Mos Burger and Hard Rock. We can also discuss Tony Roma's, but when you move into casual dining restaurants, its really not fair to compare them to fast food joints, like Mos Burger. I'm sure you can get a burger in a lot of the 5-star hotels as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

male Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 And now a picture of a real hamburger from WHATABURGER (in Texas of course.....wish they would come over here): That looks like a great franchise. Seems to have the south well covered, but hasn't gotten into Vegas/Cali. Reminds me of my local burger hangout when I was growing up, "Y" Not Burger I'm not holding my breath that a franchise would open in Thailand. Of the L.A burger joints, I can't see Tommy's or In 'N Out opening in Thailand, but we may have a chance with Fatburger, a blues-themed burger joint, which has a store in the food court at the Venetian in Macau. http://www.fatburger.com/home/ holy shit batman, you could feed the whole family with that burger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beacher Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 They have finally got round to an opening date for the Mos Burger "takeaway" in Central Mall.............21st April Never heard of them, Where are they from? Hope they look and taste better than the one in the picture too. I've got to agree that that is one very unappealing looking hamburger. I want lettuce, pickles, onions, tomatoes, mustard....not a big glop of something that looks like stewed tomatoes. Yuck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tropo Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 (edited) They (Mos Burger) were on schedule and open tonight as adverstised. I was reading their info in the window and noticed that they sell "rice" burgers. Does anyone have any idea what a rice burger is? Do they use rice to make the bun, or is it an ingredient between the buns? Just in case you're interested, MOS is an acronym for "Mountain, Ocean and Sun" Edited April 21, 2009 by tropo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jingthing Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 In May there is some kind of American theme restaurant (or so it appears opening) in the same building as the News Cafe on Thappraya. New hope for a decent burger? How hard can it be? As long as you have good beef (perhaps even good enough for burgers is possible in Thailand) and good buns (cheeky) and the right condiments, again, how hard can it be? You just need Americans to taste it and tell you if it is good or not. Here I am talking about higher end burgers, not fast food McD's style, of course. I will try Mos of course but they look rather bizarre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
syd barrett Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 It is funny really, but the 'Rice Burger' which is made from a selection of different crops: Wheat, Barley, Rice etc. does taste really good. In the same way a 'Carrot Cake' really tastes of real dried fruit. The human sense of taste is 70% smell and just 5 or 6 receptors on the tongue, so, often logical-taste is defied. That is why I dislike food-snobs. Something made of secret ingredients can taste very good in the same way a placebo drug can have miraculous effects. If I were to cook up an insect-burger and market it well, I bet people would travel for miles to experience the great taste. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

torrenova Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 Priced against McD and BK they should be profitable as both the big name franchises are way OTT priced in Pattaya. McDonald's is something like half the price of Burger King if you buy the set meals. Without hitting menus I'd go along with that in general as long as you are comparing like with like. McD don't have anything like a whopper and even their cheeseburgers are vastly different in size. The killer in BK is something like Bt30 for a Kraft cheese slice ! I know the new McD near Soi 7 2nd Road was way way more expensive than Bangkok the week before or Phuket the week after, perhaps 30% more expensive. Then with McD, due to their small burgers, you have to get more than one so you end up with a BK priced meal anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers we'll reciprocate this gesture by introducing these healthy things we like to call vegtables to your diet. Well I average about one hamburger annually even when I lived there, but as an American, I do know what a quality burger is SUPPOSED to taste like. Actually, vegetables are very popular in the US at least among wealthier people. Poor people are the ones living (and dying) on McDs. http://www.wholefoodsmarket.com/products/produce.php Edited April 21, 2009 by Jingthing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ulysses G. Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 McD don't have anything like a whopper I guess you never heard of a Big Mac (with cheese included in the price)? How about the double Big Mac? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of things with great marketing end up failing in the marketplace. If your insect burger tasted good and was marketed well, it very well might sell.
