Is it made in a wood fired oven?

 

Looks like it!!

[charliebadenhop]

turns out it is made in an electric fired oven. I bought from them yesterday, and will not go back.....

Sorry Charlie! 

When I bought my pizza I ordered the pizza standing outside the shop. When I came back 20 minutes later I got the pizza in a box, still standing outside the shop. So I had no idea if it was Wood fire oven or electric oven. 

As you saw on my photo it was a little bit burned here and there so maybe looked like wood fire oven. 

The taste was good but not up to the pizza I normally buy from Ban Lom Jen. But they also have electric oven what I know and  for me they serve the absolute  best pizza in town.

Ban Lom Jen’s pizza is very good indeed. To my best knowledge, his oven is gas fired.

 Me and wife took a bikeride today and stopped at Charin Garden Resort for a coffee. 

They have very good coffee and their cakes are something special and they also have good lunches.

And if you go from Chiang Rai and choose hw1211, make a shortcut on a smaller road to see a very beautiful area. 

Here a link in Google Maps with that shortcut: https://goo.gl/maps/yz1shZyPKvMV8pE16

I went past today, the lady was sweeping up out the front and indicated that she would be reopening when the Covid19 restrictions were lifted.

I got the impression she was now sole proprietor.

Beers and Rest. is owned by a husband and wife. I would be quite surprised if they are now separated, and they always seem to get along quite well. But maybe....

Today we stopped at Chef Sasa and ordered two pizza, one Hawaii and one Quatro Stagioni. 

Take away price was 500 baht. 

We were there a week ago and at that time I ordered a pizza with Blue Cheese on top! Fantastic! 

 

But the two classic pizza today was also very tasty! 

The chef is an Italian, very nice guy and he knows how to make a good pizza. 

We will be back!

Style Paidoi- Steaks & Coffee Chiang Rai has reopened and we enjoyed lunch there Sunday.

At 107B the fish and chips has to be one of the better lunch deals around.

420B for two with 4 coffees.

I got there for coffee and pies on my cycling trips from CR, a couple of times. Most recent visit was yesterday, for an early lunch with gf - by car. A very nice place along the Mae Lao river. Excellent coffee and very good food too. 
i add a picture of the view from the restaurant on the river, and one of their great selection of pies.

Today we visited Feliz, a new restaurant/coffee shop on hw1020. 

Very nice, good coffee and a lot of special cakes. 

It is a new building and they have a quite big room with Ac but also tables in a very nice garden. The garden even has a waterfall.

My wife and I go there quite often.  Picked up a pizza last Saturday. They also have good lasagna and gnocchi.  My wife usually gets the seafood pasta.

We climbed the mountain to Doi Chaang for coffee and macadamia nuts today and the town was really jumping, every cafe (and there’s a few) looked crowded.

We had a coffee and cake at Singha Park yesterday, using the road frontage complex.

It's officially take out but you can use the tables outside and they will give you a buzzer to alert you when your drinks are ready.

One of the mrs friends had a birthday Monday so I dropped by Barn House Pizzeria at Singha Park to pick up a pizza.

This place never disappoints, great to see it up and running again with a few lunchtime customers.

Good to hear that it is open again.  My wife I like going there.  I also heard that Chef Sasa Pizza is opening today, June 19

Melody Cafe is still one of the nicest coffee places this side of town on 1211.

My wife and I went to Ribs and Co last night for dinner.  We haven’t been there for awhile.  I was pleasantly surprised that the expanded their menu.  I had the crispy chicken sandwich and my wife had a rib meal which included half rack of ribs, salad, rice, garlic bread and 6 chicken wings.  Everything was good as usual

[XJ650]

Me and my wife visited Chiang Khong on Monday. We go there a couple of times every year to enjoy the fantastic food in Bamboo Mexican House Restaurant.  

 

And it was as good this time as it has always been,  Best Mexican food in Chiang Rai Province in our opinion and served by very nice people. 

 

But because of this Covid-19 etc you must order your food in advance. Just call 087 305 1750 a day or two in advance so they know you are coming.

Wow, to travel at least 1.5 hours to get there you must really like the place!!  

 

Do you spend the night in the area or come back the same day?

 

Any suggestions of places to stay?

 

Regards,

Charlie

I was just about to ask the same ???? heading out next week North. 

[XJ650]

 

We always stay over night in Chiang Khong and the last 3-4 years we have stayed at Day Waterfront Hotel.  Just on the Mekong River and very nice and friendly people that speak good English.

[charliebadenhop]

Thanks for your reply. Looks great!

 

Ordering on the phone in English ok?

 

I would have trouble knowing what to order!

 

Any suggestions?

 

[XJ650]

They speak good English, no problem. 

 

This is the menu that I see in their Google Maps info, link https://goo.gl/maps/aABsYYCcWPN49ujs7

 

But they probably does not have all dishes in the menu for the moment because of the lack of customers these days. 

And this menu is probably old so it is not up to date with what they have and prices. 

 

But talk to them and they will help you! Very nice people.
