jbrain Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Neither Döner nor Gyros, but this place deserves a honorable mention: Vlandern Frituur in Soi LK Metro. YES! Real Belgium fries with Krokett Special and Bitterballen. Junk Food Heaven! Not sure if the place was mentioned earlier, but I stopped by Donor King the other day. It looked good from the outside. Menu OK. BUT, no yoghurt/cucumber sauce--only mayo, garlic, ketchup. I just could not bring myself to even try it. I do not understand why these places are "brain dead" when it comes to proper sauces. About ketchup: yes, totally disgusting, but I have had a tomato-based, oregano, lemon, garlic, onion (not sure about all of the ingredients, but definitely not ketchup, think Greek style tomato sauce) sauce at some Greek places. That sauce was fantastic on grilled beef skewers placed inside Greek bread. Speaking of Greek bread (or even good Middle-Eastern bread) I have never seen it at any of these places. All they have to do is offer Greek style bread and a decent Greek style or Middle-Eastern style yoghurt-based sauce and their product would improve immensely. How do you distinguish a Mayonaise based garlic sauce from a youghurt based one by just looking at it ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also prefer youghurt based garlic sauce, however I haven't seen it yet anywhere in Thailand, but I don't have an issue with mayo based as I always ask to be very economic with the sauces, since Thai's are used to eat sauce with meat instead of meat with sauce.

Ulysses G. Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 I also prefer youghurt based garlic sauce, however I haven't seen it yet anywhere in Thailand, If you are ever in Chiang Mai, Zoe in Yellow (a very popular nightclub) has it and the Doner Kebabs are made by a Turk. I never had them before I came to Thailand, but they taste good to me and all the Brits praise them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do you distinguish a Mayonaise based garlic sauce from a youghurt based one by just looking at it ? Obviously, you cannot distinguish a mayonaise-based garlic sauce from a youghurt-based one simply by looking at it. On my first visit the waitress told me that the sauces were not made with yoghurt sauce. I suggested, strongly, that they offer a youghurt-cucumber based sauce for foreigners. Then I walked out. On my second visit I decided to try it anyway (see post #58). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dksharron Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 I got impressed by the turk in the food court in BigC south pattaya rd near sukumvit. It was the first time i tried a kebab with tsatziki sauce & the vinegar stuff, it was a really fresh taste Agreed. He is A#1 here in Pattaya, And he also recently opened up a restaurant in The Village on Third Road, opposite the Fire Station, a few hundred meters north of South Pattaya Road.

Good for you and bless your mayo on Middle eastern food loving heart! However, wouldn't it be special if they offered mayo sauces AND non-mayo ones as well?

RabC Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 Spot near Soi VC This is the original kebab stand in Pattaya - been here at least 15 years I ate at that stand many times years ago, and they are a the better of the bad lot, but I don't actually like it because the use the pita bread and cut their vegetables in cubes as many do.Vegetables should be sliced or fine cut but not blocks. I am sorry I am really confused, having been brought up in Cyprus eating kebabs from both Greeks and Turks, they both used Pitta bread, what else is there to put a kebab in without turning it into a wrap? I agree that the salad should be finely sliced, in Cyprus it was shredded white cabbage and not lettuce. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RabC Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 (edited) Well this is the basis of the style from Cyprus but adulterated for UK tastes, again from Google. Note the two handed hold, not a lot of people realise they can act as a Gyroscope to guide liquidly confused people home............. Also this link http://www.obit-mag.com/articles/mahmut-aygun-inventor-of-the-kebab-sandwich about the supposed inventor of the Kekab Sandwich stating he was Turkish and used Pitta. 1971 seems a bit recent though.........

Jingthing Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 Where is this place exactly? I can't tell by the address: http://www.foodpanda...zza-(-Pattaya-) Hi It is on Pattaya New Plaza, 2nd Road, approx opposite soi 8. I`ve been past but not tried it yet. Thanks. That's what I thought but wasn't sure. Anyone tried it? Sorry for any misdirection.This place is most likely not what you're looking for. Garlic yogurt sauce, check. Thin wrap bread, check Chile sauce, no check (only packaged sugary Thai "hot" sauce) Meat, I won't say anything as to be polite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seasia Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 As Doner King on Pattaya Klang got a few mentions on this thread, I tried it for the first time a few nights ago. I had a beef kebab, tasted fine to me. I thought the service was a little on the slow side but kebab above average and will return. Glad it was mentioned.
