That said, I still think the best takeout chicken in Thailand is the Five-Star rotisserie. I don't care for their fried chicken though. Incidentally. the biscuits at Texas chicken are sweet, but the texture is nothing like a muffin. The chicken at Texas chicken is nothing to write home about but the biscuits are pretty darn good.......Chicken is just to common for me to make a special trip to Texas chicken...

Yellowtail Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 I think biscuits in the US are something like dumplings. The northern biscuits are just different from southern style biscuits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. What I meant was that biscuits in the are like dumplings in that northern style are different than southern stye. I did not mean to imply that biscuits in the US were like dumplings. That said, northern style dumplings are more like boiled biscuits while southern style dumplings are more like big noodles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not nearly as dense as scones. Southern American scones are fluffy. A similar shape. Biscuits are paired with savory foods like sausage gravy. In any case what Texas Chicken is serving here as biscuits are not authentic. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Bruno123 Posted October 31, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted October 31, 2021 On the subject of fried chicken; the most popular local place is here: Tod Lhak/Kai Tod Laek/Supreme Fried Chicken Drumsticks and thighs from 10 to 20 baht. Larger pieces like whole legs for 26 baht. This for Jingthing; https://food.grab.com/th/en/restaurant/ไก่ทอดแหลก-kaitod-laek-ถนนพัทยาสาย-2-delivery/3-CYUFLETYRADJT2 ???? 2 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruno123 Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 ^^ My advice would be to visit at least once; to make sure that the chicken that you get is actually from them. I've not ever used GRAB but sometimes I am there when the GRAB riders arrive. If there is no chicken available they might drive off. I have no idea as to whether they will substitute with chicken from another place. So visit at least once to know their style of chicken in so that it cannot be substituted without your knowledge. They aren't open on Sundays. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Espanol Posted November 16, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted November 16, 2021 (edited) Don Pepe Tapas: 20% discount on paella on Mondays. Any paella (seafood, lobster, black, vegetables, lamb...). I order seafood paella with a rock lobster for only 640 baht for 2 people. 50 extra baht for home delivery at their website: https://donpepepattaya.com/ Good authentic paella served with alioli, Valencia style. Good value for money. Actually, cheaper than in Spain. Edited November 16, 2021 by Espanol 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Espanol Posted November 25, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted November 25, 2021 Tapas Spanish Grill 098 510 9433 https://maps.app.goo.gl/7Hb3fzvV7GRsamJ97 Menu has 3 different sections: Spanish food Chinese food and BBQ About Spanish food I went to eat "Tortilla española", one of the most typical Spanish tapas and probably the one we mostly ask in Spanish bars. It's difficult to find a good Tortilla even in Spain and some bars are famous only for it. About this one, it was perfect. Homemade, creamy, made to order and served with homemade alioli sauce. You can not find a better Tortilla española in Madrid or Sevilla. The price was 140 baht and for that price they served, not only one tapa, but full tortilla, what it's a real good price, and indeed cheaper than in Spain. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redwood1 Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 What are your opinions on the food delivery apps and why.... My opinion..... #1.....https://www.hotmeals2u.com/ No discounts but its very clear and easy to use, good English... #2.... New York pizza....I just call, They keep a record of you last order, super easy... #3 Hungry now.....Some nice discounts good English and the app works well.... #4 Eatigo....Nice discounts good English but a 60 Baht delivery fee.... #5 Line, Panda, and Grab......I can find no discounts, the sites don't navigate well, a fair amount of Thai with no English...... Anyone care to agree or disagree... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hackjam Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 Hungry Now is my favorite, so user friendly and great discounts. GRAB does my head in trying to access discounts, just wish Caddyshack and Robin Hood T were on Hungry Now. And way more expensive than HN. Most Thais do prefer GRAB. I also use Foodpanda but only for Grillicious. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ohyesuare Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 Grab gives me discounts all the time. I'm gold status now because of how much I ordered delivery during COVID so I get even more exclusive discounts. Not a huge fan of the others. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
