Jingthing Posted January 1, 2018 Author Share Posted January 1, 2018 (edited) Chef Tui Ranger Slogan -- Because Food is Happiness of Mankind !!!NEW!!! BBQ Pork RIBS specialty restaurant Soi 5 (Immigration) Jomtien, right hand side, not far from Beach Road Decently sized open aired joint with SIZZLING exciting signage, the different sizes of ribs are displayed in front near the grill. The cheapest smaller order is 220 including three very small cups of sides/sauce. Sizes and prices go up from there. Sides of potatoes and salads on offer as well for extra. Also on offer low priced meat/chicken kebabs but it's clear this place is all about the pork ribs. This is a Thai style place. Whether it's worth it depends on how good the ribs are. I haven't tried as yet. Maybe some of you will and report back. Edited January 1, 2018 by Jingthing 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only restaurant that will barbecue meat before your eyes. Do you know any other places doing this apart from street sellers ? What barbecue tradition do you know ? Barbecue is barbecue, I do not see anything else to think about ?! But I might be wrong. Yes, you are wrong. BBQ is not BBQ. There are many different regional styles. I did stop into this new place, Firepork, at Avenue Mall tonight and they are now in a very soft opening phase. They don't have their main feature going yes, which will be KOREAN style pork BBQ but presumably with some kind of modern twist. Yes, you heard it -- KOREAN STYLE. They do have a menu now on offer of appetizers and novelty dishes, very much in the modern creative (frou frou trendy) Korean style. Not traditional dishes at all. There is also a Japanese fried chicken choice. I found the appetizer prices really high. Seems like a good candidate for EATIGO.COM for me anyway as for Korean I'd rather go to traditional places or to Bonchon specifically for Korean fried chicken (which btw Firepork won't be doing). It's not a chain. One of a kind. Maybe this gimmick will work for moneyed Thais to go along with the K Pop trend. I really can't see this being a hit with most expats and tourists. But I might be wrong. Edited January 3, 2018 by Jingthing 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roger Lee Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 Big KahunaIn the old Pastrami and Rye place, same great chef. Had the bacon cheeseburger, patty was cooked fresh, not frozen. The bun was toasted to perfection. Definitely a quality burger, good to see Jim back.

Note that some burgers and sandwiches (not all) use a KC sauce which is quite spicy with a definite bite. Next time no sauce for me. Price was 285 which included a Coke, burger, and your choice of BBQ beans, potato salad or fries. The fries were not special. Also note their liquor license is still being processed so no alcohol.

I’m certainly not an expert on Hawaiian themed. Ambience and decorum looks Hawaiian as does the menu with the names of the offerings. I did have a slice of pineapple next to my burger if that counts. Seriously, Big Kahuna is a nice touch but I enjoyed the food even more. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The breakfast menu includes n omelette made with spam (national Hawaiian food item) and pineapple, among other stuff....several other breakfast items. The pizza is very good. Nice staff too.

I’ll definitely be back for more, probably try the pizza next. Sent from my iPad using Thaivisa Connect Well I went back for pizza and I have to say it was probably the best pizza I’ve had here. Knowing the many preferences and definitions of a good pizza along with my favorite crust being thin and crispy, which it was, I’m fully aware of detractors and naysayers chiming in but that’s okay. That said the thin and crispy crust was cooked to perfection, none have been better than I’ve found here. The sauce was very tasty and flavorful along with a more than ample amount of toppings. Jim reports that soon plans are in the works for other styles of crusts soon. I ordered the Metropolitis, it did not disappoint. New on the menu is Thai food. Jim had high praises for his Thai chef from Bangkok. My Thai gf ordered Tom Yum Goong and surprisingly she enjoyed the dish. I say surprisingly because she is known for being very discriminate being a somewhat of a Thai chef herself. It is highly unusual for her to like any Thai dish from a restaurant especially a Farlang Restaurant, so my hat’s off to the chef. What a a great place for dining, both of us will be back!

Jingthing Posted January 16, 2018 Author Share Posted January 16, 2018 That does look like a quite good more American pizza. I suppose Italian food purists might better avoid.

Popular Post Awohalitsiktoli Posted January 17, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted January 17, 2018 Tried the "burger." Amazing........the burgers are very, very good......the best I have had in all of Thailand (all of Asia). The meat tasted like US grade beef and it was not ground to a past like most places do; rather, it was ground corsely and properly cooked. U are in for a treat! 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digbeth Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 MA-LA Craze Not an actual restaurant visit/review but a note to keep an eye out for the new Thai restaurant craze of MA-LA (Chinese for spicy) Basically a bbq type restaurant with spicy Szechuan pepper sauce on various things on skewer and of course Szechuan pepper soup. This trend were first around Northern Thailand and is now everywhere in Bangkok, most are outdoor type like a all you can eat BBQ place, with probably cheap and not very good quality ingredients, but hey, if you want tingly MA-LA Szechuan pepper, they've got it. It's only a matter of time when one opens in Pattaya 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
