Rooo Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 Opposite Big C, there is an Italian delicatessen, check there or ask if he can get it for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
limbos Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 Try Il Mulino, coming from Tesco Lotus, on the ring road towards Lamai, just before Bangkok Samui hospital on the other side of the road, maybe 200 meters or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lazygourmet Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 Tesco is only selling Australian "Mainland" cheddar, Danish Blue, Danish Feta, Tasmanian mozzarella.... (sic!)+++ a lot of ersatz! Even in a fondue with a lot of Fendant & Kirsch I will not be happy with these. Anyway, as far as I remember Colibri (Chaweng) used to have descent A.O.C. imported Brie, Camembert, Parmigiano-Reggiano, Roquefort, Maroilles, Livarot, Bleu de Bresse, etc... But they were coming at a price! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rooo Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 Did you get the cheese? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokie36 Posted February 8, 2010 Author Share Posted February 8, 2010 Did you get the cheese? Well Colibri has a decent selection although pricey and not quite what I was looking for. I will have a look in the deli next time I'm at big C. Thanks Rooo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
