I can confirm as reported in another topic that Carl's Jr will close effective March 24.  Their beef items are all sold out but the chicken sandwiches which I enjoy are still available. 

[Yellowtail]

I guess A & W threw in the towel as well, today is supposed to be their last day. 

[Jingthing]

Russia loses McDonalds.

Thailand loses AW and Carls.

Different reasons but still curious

Imported Hams and cheeses and sausages. Served as cold cuts and sandwiches. A non cooked breakfast.

The only good news apart from the war is that Cheap charlies will open shortly at JOMTIEN SOI 5.

Clearly a hit, because it's one of the few places in Pattaya selling good food at correct price.

Good news, though their food is only average IMO.

Simons has been replaced by an overpriced coffee shop. 80 Baht for an Americano and no cakes for sale - shameful!

Cheap Charlies is real hit and miss.....Some of their food is ok other things are just simply lously.......Same goes for Hungry Hippo.....

 

After I eat at these places it makes me want to go buy a Chang beer and sit in front of 7-11....

Off topic post dragging Bangkok into the topic has been removed also replies.

This is the Pattaya forum so anything outside Pattaya is off topic.

I like it too.

It's not exactly gourmet level but they have nice food.

I favor the fish balls and cakes and sometimes the lamb cabbage stew.

Prices versus quality food is ok, but as say traditional house meals as we say. I had the roastbeef dish and christmas dish as my favorite there.

I just found a app called Tap Translate that translates a page with one tap which works good on my samsung s8...........No screen capture needed...It only does one page at a time but but its fast and does a good job...

Tap Translate appears to have lost the ability to translate a full screen from Thai to English, although still has the ability to translate selected text which is not easy to do on a page with small text.

 

Does anyone know of another app which can do the full screen?  I've tried a couple but they require selecting text too, and not just doing the whole screen.

Firefox has a plug in to translate a full page into any language.

Lung Chef

137 Thanon Pattaya Klang

FOOD PANDA

 

Thai and Taiwanese, who woulda thunk?

 

For those that get Thailand confused with Taiwan, this would be the place to eat.

But the food is good too!

 

Of course I like Thai food but I'm not aware of any other currently open Taiwanese restaurants in the area, except for a fried squid fast food place in Jomtien.

 

I have sampled two Grab meals from this place and I will be back for more. Moderate prices some might find a little pricey, decent portions, delicious flavor. I won't even mention the specific dishes I've tried as I've noticed their menu seems to be in flux, what they have one day, they won't have the next, but they might have something else.

 

The prices might be lower in house than on Grab, but I don't know that.

 

They don't have scads of Taiwanese dishes but they have a fair amount. Their Thai choices go beyond the standard cookie cutter Thai menu. Seafood seems to be featured. 

 

Some examples of less common Thai dishes there:

 

Hor Mok Talay (seafood coconut curry mousse in a coconut)

 

Hang Ley Curry (Lanna food)

 

Beef and pumpkin Massaman served in pumpkin

 

The rice is jasmine which works for many Thai dishes but not so much for Taiwanese.

 

I'm not going to say say their food is mind blowing, but like I said, I'll be back to try more of their menu, and I won't be surprised if this place enters my rotation.

Lung Chef is found on Food Panda. Grab was also mentioned but in error.

[NewGuy]

Hey Jingthing, I can’t find Lung Chef on Food Panda or Google. Could you check the spelling please.

Add the word restaurant and it will be top of the list.

It opens today at 11:30 or noon.

[NewGuy]

Still nothing, I’ll go by sometime. Thanks.

or if you prefer; Facebook: https://web.facebook.com/LungChefRestaurantPattaya/

 

I think they were in Chom Tien before.

[Jingthing]

Of course Lung means Uncle so I see on Wongnai it's named Uncle Chef's Kitchen.

 

I see they're on Lineman and some dishes on discount. But in Thai. Also weirdly higher prices. Hor Mok Talay 250 on Panda but 299 on Lineman!

 

[NewGuy]

Sorry all. Thanks for the persistence. I kept putting in Long Chef, not Lung Chef. Now I got it. Thanks again.

[Frank67]

I almost missed that Pattaya Beer Garden reopened! ????

One of my favorite spots in Pattaya since many years.

Nice location (it is the first building right a the beginning of walking street which is built into the sea), reasonable prices (jug of Chang draft is 175THB) and good portions of food. Plus they play nice music which is not too loud so that you can still have a talk with your friends.

I am afraid that the menu on their homepage is not up to date.

There's a separate list of plugins for Firefox mobile and I don't see it there.  This might only be good for PC/laptop unless you can tell me differently?

I thought you were subjective when it came to restaurants and the food they sell?  Why have you ruled out these establishments?
