williamrobson Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 Not sure if this has been mentioned before but was driving back from maenam and stopped at the art cafe at samui town centre just after the bo phut traffic lights. It's a interesting place which caters for vegetarians, vegans and thankfully the common carnivore the food is mainly Thai but unlike most Thai food on the island is quite unique and msg free. I had the gang gurri Kung and my wife had Laab Gai and both were very tasty. Service was prompt and friendly and the price was very reasonable for the quality of the food served would recommend to anyone who is looking for well presented healthy, tasty Thai food. P. S. If all that veg is too much and you need to indulge. The cheese cake was also delicious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boater Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 Yes, I am sorry too as I was looking forward too it.

evadgib Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 (edited) Shakespear bar on the ghost road has the best roast of all that i've tried this year. What time do they start serving and how much is it? - Start time unclear but he's underway by 2pm (busy after 3pm). - I can't remember the price either, but I would if it had been expensive:) Edited October 2, 2012 by evadgib Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sticky Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 I see on Angela's facebook page that as she roasts beef & lamb on Sundays for the weeks sandwiches, if she is notified by Friday she will do a Sunday roast dinner for anyone interested. I know she was doing them up until a month or so ago, they seemed to be quite popular. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tropicalevo Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 Has anyone tried the new chippy that's appeared near the tyre place between Bank Rak & FV? Do they do takeaways? If you are talking about the one near to the candle shop - it has been there a while. But - unobtrusive. Fish and chips - pies sandwiches ec. I have not tried it, but I have a friend who swears by them. Good taste good value. Of course they do takeaways, apart from the 'all you can eat' places I thought that everyone does. This F & C place does - for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Coming from FV towards Bangrak. As you start to meet habitation after the beach next to Punpreeda and Relay, on the left is a Baan Sabai Spa and a hotel - Scent Hotel. On the right a tyre retailer (if he is open). After the tyre place on the right - some shop houses. It is there (I think) on the right. It's a very small place - looks more like a coffee shop than a chippie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tropicalevo Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 (edited) Now we're looking for a good steak place on Samui. Suggestions? Thanks in advance! Best steak on the island - Larry's Shack in Bophut (FV). Not cheap - but very good. It can get very busy when there are tourists around. Enter FV from the archway coming from the traffic lights. Turn left at the pier. Carry on SLOWLY through the village and near the end on the left. If you see Billabong surf club on the right - you have missed it. (There is also a good Mexican place in the village) Edited October 8, 2012 by Tropicalevo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sticky Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 Someone was asking a few months ago where to get crumpets. Angela is now making them and they are very yummy! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThailandBert Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 They are very easy to make and once you have made them a couple of times you can get them spot on every time. I came across the food processor whilst looking for a camera tripod in the utility room and have been spending a lot of time in the kitchen of late. I made some very nice Naan breads yesterday and today I am going to make some a banana loaf. If I do say so myself I am a bit of a Gordon Ramsey in the kitchen. Not that anything I turn out is like his cooking but there tends to be lots of cussing and cursing coming from the kitchen when I am in it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that anything I turn out is like his cooking but there tends to be lots of cussing and cursing coming from the kitchen when I am in it Sounds like you should start giving cooking classes... Rooo will probably be your first customer! He's been on about crumpet for a while now... ... But then Angela's baking is very good .... might pop down and see what days she's making them... I think you may have a ways to go to reach Gordon Ramsey standards So do you have a tandoori oven yet, to cook the Naan bread? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThailandBert Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 The recipe for crumpets is here. Very easy to make and with a little practice you can get lovely fresh crumpets to smother in butter. link here http://britishfood.about.com/od/eorecipes/r/Recipe-Traditional-English-Crumpets.htm Jimmy i am working on a design for a Tandoori oven using one of the big clay plant pots. I will let you see the finished article when I finish it. Till then i cheat and just use a griddle. Again very easy to make and you can do all sorts to them and they freeze well. I did a large batch and made some Garlic and onion, garlic and herb, Kashmiri with raisins and sultanas and some plain. Also my cooking may have a way to go before I am anywhere near his dishes but I am on par easily in the cussing and cursing department Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cooked Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 I ordered expensive crumpet rings and realised once again how stupid I am: they looked like somebody had slit off the bottom of a can and then produced crumpet rings. I do mine in the toaster, so I can't make them too thick. I found some in Tescos Korat, they seem to be sugared and are unnecessarily horrible.

Not sure where he got rock salt from, but there was a lot of it used! Helps retain the heat I guess! .... not something to have in an inside kitchen!!! ..... Phew! .... the heat! But let us know when you start giving out samples! I see on that recipe page there is recipe for Welsh pancakes.... that brings back memories from childhood days of holidays, I spent in Wales, Edited October 10, 2012 by samuijimmy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
