ZZZ Posted November 12, 2005 Share Posted November 12, 2005 My comment was for any commodity to increase in price 30-50% overnight is out of the ordinary, especially when inflation in Thailand is at a current high of 6%. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> "Overnight" is maybe not the correct way of looking at this, when was the last time he had a price increase??

hughden Posted November 13, 2005 Share Posted November 13, 2005 Where is the new Big Pizza in Jomtien please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wilko Posted November 13, 2005 Share Posted November 13, 2005 without a doubt the best itallian restaurant with authentic imported itallian ingredients and a wood stove oven is "cico & pina Big Pizza"you'll find them in naklua, 5 minutes walk up from dolphin circle and just past the open beer bars...look for the sign "Big Pizza" they've just opened another restaurant in jomtien they're not 80 baht but are very reasonable and the food is 1st class.. i love itallian food and have eaten all over italy, this place is the best in pattaya, 10 times better than the open italian restaurant on beach road and 50 times better than the italian/pizza place near view talay once u eat at cicco & pina's u will be a repeat customer..their food is that good <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Sounds interesting - what region are they from? Are they Neapolitan if they're doing Pizza? Is there a regional character to the place? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simbo Posted November 14, 2005 Share Posted November 14, 2005 "My god, I't's gone up a whole 90 cents, wow" No Mike, its gone up 30 baht. We don't use dollars and cents here in Thailand. 30 baht is the price of a good meal to the Thai in the street. I didn't say it was expensive. Nor did I say I wouldn't eat there any more. What I said was "Seems like one hel_l of an increase". My comment was for any commodity to increase in price 30-50% overnight is out of the ordinary, especially when inflation in Thailand is at a current high of 6%. "Not exactly a big deal is it?" Dave, why don't you increase all your drinks by 50% from tonight if its "no big deal", be sure to let us know how you get on. after all, "People have got to earn a living!!!"

Thinking if they need to sell cheap food there is going to be no quality to it Cheers Like i said its nice cheap food (quality) go and try it before you get on your high horse. Your words below Guess I have been eating in the wrong places, always found 30 Baht noodles are made with better quality "materials" than 20 Baht noodles. Same with Farang food, if it's genuine it's imported (in most cases) = tax = pass on to customer at a fair price? Where in Pattaya are the quality cheap food outlets - please, not junk food! Cheers Well on the other end of the scale. Matahari or the paradise second road are not expensive restaurants and the food is imported and top quality, its great. Bruno’s Jomtien is expensive and no real difference in food quality, location, decor service and a more extensive menu, is better but that’s it, so there is two comparisons for you. Sorry one more difference it’s the Snob factor (very big for Thaïs and falangs) but I think you will still try and make some sort point to your last comments. Bon Appetit Have a nice day.

yarpy Posted November 17, 2005 Share Posted November 17, 2005 Noon produces some of the best Italian food I have ever tasted. Their ravioli is to die for. Price hikes are never good but they will still get my custom. Ate at Big Pizza in Naklua and it was very good but I don't get up to the 4th Reich much so a Big Pizza in Jomtiem is ideal but where is it boys? Where?
