baht&sold Posted November 13, 2005 Share Posted November 13, 2005 (edited) Met some old n new friends at an Ethiopian restaurant called Abssinya tonight. Great company, great food and alot of talk and laffs (we had to eat with our hands afterall;). I'm lucky to know a farang gal pal whom invites me along to these informal 'get togethers' every few weeks or so. (eg, last meet was at the Danish 'Stable Lodge' next, Mexican was mentioned as a possibility and a big christmas turkey in/house party was planned) Basically, it's usually a group of a dozen interchanging people or so (slightly more/less), always an interesting mix, usually at a new restaurant each time which is fun. Tonight was no exception. Eg: American gal-school teacher extrodinaire, German guy-hotelier, Brit guy- journalist (?), Thai gal-import/export, French gal- textiles, Laos business gal and so on. Age, 20's to 40's tonight but age/background not a big deal at all. Just a great bunch of people (how I got into invited into this group remains a complete mystery;) Got me to thinking not for the first time, def NOT me but maybe someone on Thai Visa could organise a 'supper club' of sorts? The TV "pissups" at clubs etc are a great venue to meet n greet but there's something to be said for a more relaxed setting at a restaurant for a good night out. Lotsa amazing people on TV afterall and the more varied their backgrounds/interests are, all the better. (I should say, if it's a dating club one's after, this wouldn't be the pool to swim in, nor " I only ordered water so not paying 20 baht more" nuff said;) Well, that's about it. If it comes about, I may well be interested and I'm sure other TV guys n gals would be too (TV diners club card G?). If not, I'll just keep attending our little supper club n enjoy the new and old company and changing venues.

johna Posted December 12, 2005 Share Posted December 12, 2005 "Ethiopian restaurant" The only Ethiopian people I have ever seen were on TV and starving, its hard to imagine what you could find on a Ethiopian restaurant menu. From what I know of the country I doubt any Ethiopian could identify food on that menu with their daily diet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besides it's pretty well recognised that most of the best Ethiopian chefs have long left the Country for pastures new.

griser Posted December 15, 2005 Share Posted December 15, 2005 Hmmm the Ethiopian food doesn't sound good but the supper club idea does!! Had ethiopian food in the states. My buddy and I ordered the two most expensive items on the menu... he got a bowl of Green mush and I got a bowl of yellow mush, both with chicken bones in it. Bleh! May I suggest greek or arab? hehe. greg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sego Posted January 4, 2006 Share Posted January 4, 2006 I forgot to say that I went to the egyptian restaurant which is next door of the ethiopian restaurant Bath&Sold mentionned. It was really good and cheap. Altough, if anyone is looking for Kebab, I recommend the stalls, sukhumvit soi 3. The best in town! 50thB for an orgasmic bite...

Totster Posted January 4, 2006 Share Posted January 4, 2006 It would be nice to keep this on topic, the OP wasn't asking us to discuss the moral issues of eating ethiopian food ( the same issues can be applied to eating many other country's cuisine also I might add ).. but rather the possiblity of forming a supper club. I for one think it is an excellent idea, and I hop that one day i can be around to enjoy the company of the members here for good meal.. whichever restaurant it happens to be in. totster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tutsiwarrior Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 as the supper club activity appears to NOT feature THAI food I would gladly participate (although I cannot as I don't live in BKK...just couldn't resist opportunity to make the foregoing observation..he,he...)

Khun Yak Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 Somehow I can imagine myself participating as well. A supper club meeting always at a certain place would not really make sense. May I suggest to pick a different place (and cuisine) everytime. This is much more fun as Baht & Sold mentioned (danish stables, ethiopian, and so on) There is such a huge variety of places and cuisines in this city that one should really eat oneself all through the very nice restaurant guide "where to eat in BKK" (available at central chidlom e.g. (80 Baht)). Or based on recommendations in this forum... count me in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
