rice555 Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 Hello All, you location might help. Isan is a good chunk of LOS. The Mall Korat has 2 or 3 types(brands). Don't go much to Lotus or Big C, so can't say if they do. Klang Plaza 1 & 2 I'm almost positive they do also. (Crown Plaza) rice555 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wjhall Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 Tops supermarket in Central Plaza in Khon Kaen have it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SantiSuk Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 I'm pretty sure I've seen it in Tesco or Big C Ubon, but don't stake a 130k round trip on that info alone. If you get stuck I can probably bring you one back from Tops International supermarket in Khon Kaen early next week. I happen to be visiting KK this weekend to pick up pool supplies and plan to visit Tops Intl. I will be passing thru Meuang SiSaket on the way back Monday 12 September. I say probably because it depends on my Thai wife's programme not changing .... yet again (nuff said?!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
puchooay Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 Have you got any type of mustard at all? Try this: 1 tablespoon of mustard 1 teaspoon of white vinegar 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise sugar to taste. Thai mayonnaise is usually quite sweet already so maybe no need for the sugar.

But, I am 30km from Sisaket just outside of Rasisalai living in Issan village. It would not be convenient and almost impossible task to find my home. But thanks much for the offer.

lazygourmet Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 Big C should have Amora. Big C extra -ex Carrefour- have Amora, Maille and their own Casino brand which is 50% cheaper than the previous ones... but perfect for cooking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is AWFUL and the OP has gone down one notch in my estimation. Heinz yellow mustard is the only passable substitute for Colmans in my book.

tutsiwarrior Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 (edited) "Heinz yellow mustard is the only passable substitute for Colmans in my book." ??? now I'm confused... american mustard whether it be French's, Heinz or whatever has no resemblance to english mustard, Colmans being the only brand that I know of, either mixed or powder...on a hot dog or a sausage you SLATHER american mustard...the more the better...you try doing that with english mustard and your inflamed sinuses will take the top of your head off... the English are quite dainty with their mustard...just a little bit with their ros bif and etc...the Americans per usual BARGE IN with mustard all over the place...and we don't put mustard on roast beef neither, it's gotta be a nice gimlet gravy...SLATHERED of course 'hooray fer the red white and bluuuue'...a rawcus anthem if there ever was one with mustard all over the place...St George he sniffs: 'heathens...' but no one pays any attention to english cuisine anyway...

Germans and Japanese know a thing or two about mustard as well. English mustard is hot but even that can't hold a candle to Japanese wasabi - I was almost physically sick when I got about half a teaspoon of it in my mouth by mistake last month (it was hiding under some leaves courtesy of Fujii in Ubon).

Yes you are right. All this talk of mustard got me sticking a jar of Dijon in my bags when I came back from the UK last week. I know I can get it in Ubon but it saved me about 60 baht (cheap charlie that I am). Brought some mayonnaise as well, as every jar I buy here is disgustingly sweet. Now all I need is to find a good hamburger meat! Edited October 21, 2011 by SantiSuk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
