Blinky Bill Posted September 12, 2010 Share Posted September 12, 2010 Over the past month or so, Nick and his team have reworked the menu and made some changes in the kitchen which, in my opinion has improved the flavour and quality of what was already a good quality product. This thread is merely to mention the quality of the food at the well established venue and not to provoke any personal attacks on the fine staff that work there. And speaking of fine staff, I dropped by the Red Lion for a few beers with a friend last night. I was very happy to see that the lovely Rose has returned after some years at O'Malley's. The service there was, as always, impeccable and with plenty of smiles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gotlost Posted September 12, 2010 Share Posted September 12, 2010 IMHO Mad Dog for the price has always had the best British breakfast in town. The rest of their food has always been up there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D Its on Mun Mueang which is on the east side of the old city just to the south of where Loi Khro intersects with the moat. Or directly across from DK bock store.

rodcourt49 Posted September 13, 2010 Share Posted September 13, 2010 (edited) IMHO Mad Dog for the price has always had the best British breakfast in town. The rest of their food has always been up there. ..I would beg to differ..PUN PUN's "Superman Breakfast" is by far the best in Thailand (if not the Universe) for quality and size, includes toast, butter, jam, OJ and coffee + a generous TV discount. A pity more of you didn't go there and support Gonzo as he is not on the regular tourist beat. Edited September 13, 2010 by rodcourt49 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A pity more of you didn't go there and support Gonzo as he is not on the regular tourist beat. He refers to a British breakfast which would include tea rather than coffee. American breakfasts tend to include coffee and are very different to British breakfasts. Iain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThePunPun Posted September 13, 2010 Share Posted September 13, 2010 (edited) Thank you Mr. Rod for your kind words, and as always, all good words are greatly appreciated. Have only heard the finest being said about Nick and the Mad Dog over the years. He is good competition and has always been a gentleman. ....and as the man said, British Breakfast and American Breakfast make for different strokes for different folks. ....but as my ole pappy used to say, " in the end it all comes out the same". Good luck , Nick, with the new modifications. Gonzo Edited September 13, 2010 by ThePunPun 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, I agree about their breakfasts - very good value for money. I find that Mad Dog is an OK bar for food or drink at any time of the day.

gotlost Posted September 13, 2010 Share Posted September 13, 2010 Mad Dog for British breakfast and Butter is Better then Arts Cafe for American breakfast. IMHO. I have not had the privilege to try the PUN PUN for as you say it is off the beaten track. I really need to get in and see GF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pikey Posted September 13, 2010 Share Posted September 13, 2010 Another vote for the Maddog brekkie - fills you until the evening. I also had the fortune to pop into Pun Pun for lunch the other day and had their meatloaf & mash - fantastic. Another place worthy of a quick mention is Downunder Roo Bar on Ratchmanka opposite the Tiger Bar. They do a BBQ and their sausages and rissoles at 20b a pop are a tasty bargain. Cheers, Pikey.

thaimiller Posted September 13, 2010 Share Posted September 13, 2010 I used to go into town to eat the brekkie at mad dog which is great, but since Pratties opened I never bother going in to town, the best brekkie in CM without a doubt in my opinion anyway is Pratties.

I am the same as you as Pratties is closer to my home as l avoid going into town some times. Charlie and his wife do not open the restaurant on Mondays so had breakfast at Mad Dogs today Still good value and a new menu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blinky Bill Posted September 13, 2010 Author Share Posted September 13, 2010 Another nice addition to the Maddog is the photo gallery. Nick has found and framed many pictures of old Chiang Mai and Thailand and mounted them throughout the establishment. Well worth a look. I have no financial interest in the Maddog apart from spending a fair bit of money there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hhper Posted September 13, 2010 Share Posted September 13, 2010 Hope Nick isn't having a nervious breakdown or stressed out with some of the negative comments. I know he's old enough and big enough to deal with em. Best breakfast in CM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

realthaideal Posted September 13, 2010 Share Posted September 13, 2010 I don't get there often.... not my regular watering hole. But I have to give a nod to the eats over at Mad Dog. A mighty respectable pizza. And also good pies. I even watched the ladies dicing up meat and vegetables to go into them one day.... clearly they were trained by a Farang who wanted his food at his place to be prepared with care and an authentic touch. They do a right-good job ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uptheos Posted September 13, 2010 Share Posted September 13, 2010 (edited) Did that include wine? No but it did include coffee and orange juice, no tip. At 320 Baht, you'd be better to put off breakfast and have an all you can eat buffet lunch (for 2) at one of the many places in town.
