Greg'S Kitchen

[toenail]

I had breakfast at the new locaton of Greg's Kitchen restaurant (across from Tiffaneys -located along a private lane along "Drinking Street". Much better than the other locaton on 2nd Road since it is quiet (during the day ) and no bus, truck, or car fumes filtering in. Plenty of parking also... Easy for a baht bus ride also, just a few steps from 2nd street. It was a good move.

Why would anyone bother with a 180B set breakfast in this place when you can get an entire buffet brunch in a fairly classy place like Casa Pascal for less cost?

Seems a bit daft to me.

Because you cannot get a proper English breakfast in pascals. Pretty obvious. Not everyone worries about their pennies, darrel.

Some of us prefer quality over quantity. We don't need to eat 4 kilos worth of food.

I think Darrel is suggesting that there may be a qualitative issue - apart from pricing - and location.

I wonder what Greg's breakfast has that makes it better, apart perhaps from beans which Casa Pascal don't do?

Personally I would much rather forego the beans (which I dont like anyway) and have some freshly-baked croissants and a few extra cups of coffee with my bacon and eggs, not to mention the two sorts of honey with my toast (made from several different types of freshly-baked bread).

I have yet to find a freshly baked croissant In Thailand that meets western standards (possible in Laos and Cambodia) but maybe I will try Pascal again. Most of the time the condiments are cheap fast food varieties too. I agree it would be nice to have an unlimited coffee - very few places here offer that.

Anyways, I found Greg's new location and despite his promise of "smaller portions" , the lunch

special of 220 Baht gave the same large portion as before.

Well worth a visit.

Try the croissants at the Woodlands Resort bakery shop near the dolphin roundabout - they're probably the best I've found in pattaya.

I also like the croissants at Boncafe a little further up Naklua.

Agreed.

Another hidden bakery gem is Naklua Soi 12, just before the Zign Hotel.

You obviously have no idea what a proper English breakfast is.

On the contrary, I know full well what it is. I just dont like all parts of it (notably beans and sausage).

Casa Pascal's buffet seems a much better deal both qualitatively and quantitatively. Cheaper too.

Point taken....so why are you commenting on Gregs if it doesn't suit your particular taste?

Because all the other threads are boring.

You just cant beat a good breakfast thread.

I don't mind the baked beans and really like the English sausage if it is any good. English breakfasts can be excellent if the ingredients are up to snuff.
