Kananga Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 I am finding my favourite heinz baked beans are becoming less common these days. As well as being rather expensive. Does anyone know where I can purchase from a reliable source and preferably less than the 130 baht a tin I am currently paying. Thank you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
afarang Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 I find Ayam brand, from Malaysia quite good.About B 60 a can. I buy mine from Makro , as do a lot of my friends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kananga Posted March 19, 2012 Author Share Posted March 19, 2012 Thanks but they have to be Heinz. The Ayam ones are the wrong size and the sauce tastes too sweet. Thanks though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cardholder Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 Thanks but they have to be Heinz. The Ayam ones are the wrong size and the sauce tastes too sweet. Thanks though. Try Brook brand - we have used those a passable substitute for Heinz. Another one worth trying is McGarratt. I bought a 420g tin of Heinz baked beans in Cambodia last week for $1.70 (51 Baht !)

terryq Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 (edited) Still the wrong size but much less sugar (and salt) "Ayam Light", in English on the tin, for me closest taste to "English" baked beans at a reasonable (cheap) price. McGarratt's right size but find beans too hard and not keen on taste, not saying they are bad, just my opinion. edit for more info.....Ayam Light about 35 baht/ tin Tesco Lotus or BigC Edited March 19, 2012 by terryq Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KIWIBATCH Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 Brookes beans as close as you will get to the Heinz "taste" about 45 to 55 baht most Tesco Lotus stores have them. There is also a Thai produced brand which normally sits alongside the Brookes product on the shelf....35b a tin...personally I dont like the taste of the Thai brand plus the beans are hard and remain hard even after heating.

thaicbr Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 Brooke's are they the Australian brand at tesco. if so they are pretty good. q million times better than the.Thai brands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ulysses G. Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 I thought that I was fussy. All those brands taste fine to me and have never noticed "hard" beans. Heinz might be better because of the added pork, but the others are much cheaper and IMO good enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bangkokhatter Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 Must admit Heinz are definitely number 1, but as others has said Brooke beans are worth a try, closest I have seen to Heinz and at a fraction of the cost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
champken Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 Brooke are the nearest alternative to Heinz, or as another member said Ayam "light" are ok and much better than the normal Ayam which are far too sweet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemstar Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 Pretty sure I saw Heinz in Central Chit Lom yesterday for 99 baht a tin. Still expensive, but a bit better than 130 baht! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kananga Posted March 19, 2012 Author Share Posted March 19, 2012 I was in On Nut Tesco yesterday on my hunt, and unless they have been displayed somewhere else, no beans... However I did also check out Foodland in Thong Lor today and came across Branston Baked beans for 54 baht. Those of you from the UK will know Branston for its famous sandwich pickles. Not sure how they can be 1/3 of the price of Heinz, but there you go. I will try them tomorrow and let those of you who are interested how they fare. Now just need to find some dry cured, streaky wiltshire bacon... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now just need to find some dry cured, streaky wiltshire bacon... Please don't mention streaky wiltshire bacon- you are making me sad LOL -just kidding. Just had Aussie beans (same same as Heinz) on toast with lots of mustard and the only thing missing was bacon. If you find Wiltshire or Ayrshire bacon please let me know- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
