MrMuddle Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 OK, we're coming down to the big, bad city next week. I would like to be able to do some Christmas food shopping in Pattaya, while we're there. I'm looking for Christmas puddings, (and rum sauce mix), vegetarian suet dumpling mix, mince pies, brussels sprouts, fishermans pies, and english sweets. Any recommendations of where to shop much appreciated. We'll be staying centrally, on the second road. Thanks for any suggestions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the reply. Central festival food hall is Big C, if I remember correctly, it's been a few years since I've been to "the dark side'. I seem to recall that Friendship used to sell Guinness, but that was a lot of years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the reply. I must be getting confused, in my old age. Last time we were in Pattaya, was 7 or 8 years ago, this shopping centre was still being talked about. Luckily we're coming in a mini-bus, one of my Thai nieces is organising it, as part of her college studies. If the shopping is as good as you say, we might have to leave one of the family members behind, to make room! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Lenny, I've emailed the company in your link for directions to the shop. Baxters soups, another product for my steadily growing list ! Weren't Fray Bentos an Argentinian company ?

Spoonman Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 As of today I can confirm Friendship on Pattaya Tai has two brands of Xmas pudds. The only thing I have never been able to get in town is mincemeat to make my own mince pies. Is this some kind of special mince meat your after or just the garden variety ground beef mince, if the latter it is sold pretty much everywhere, I buy mine from Foodland.

Thanks for the information Rab, as I can eat mince pies at any time of the year, where did you get the mincemeat ? I'll grab a jar or two while we're there. As there are several fellow Scotsmen on here, is there anywhere in Pattaya that sells Scottish flags ? I brought one over several years ago, for the garden, but it needs replacing. I bought it in Mablethorpe, Lincolnshire, on a day out there, when we lived in the UK, and when I opened it here it was made in China ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No it is mainly minced mixed dried fruits with some suet in it that is used to make what are called mince pies, small sweet pies us Brits eat at Christmas time.

kevkev1888 Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 (edited) I think Big C second road is called Central Shopping Mall, But now you also have the new Central Festival Mall. Also the Darkside is somewhere compleatly different. Either way enjoy your shopping. Edited November 28, 2011 by kevkev1888 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go and see John at Collingbourne auctions while you are on Chaiyapruek 2 at Western meats, the auction house is about 500m further up on your left, they had boxes of Scotland, England and Wales flags, pillows too for some reason?

MrMuddle Posted November 29, 2011 Author Share Posted November 29, 2011 Ah Robertsons, I've never forgiven the PC crowd for making them get rid of the Golly. I'll be looking out for some of their jams while I'm in Pattaya. janverbeem, if you think mincemeat is strange, some British people also enjoy eating faggots !
