Maria23 Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 Hi there, Can any of you advice me or recommend me a place where I can buy fresh lamb meat in Pattaya? I would prefer fresh instead of buying it frozen from Makro. Thanks a lot! Maria Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dazk Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 i would think that any lamb sold here in Thailand would have been shipped frozen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then I lost all my hopes to find fresh meat, and I shall use the frozen one Not happy but seems I have no choice! Thanks for your feedback to my topic.

thaicbr Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 Thai's prefer looking at the pretty lambs / sheep to eating them.. hopefully that will change when said sheep start shagging 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raro Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 They used to have fresh local lamb at carrefour. Whether or not big C still has it I'm not sure. Sent from my GT-N7000 using Thaivisa Connect Thailand mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RabC Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 Central Food Hall in the basement of the mall has fresh lamb but not all the time and certainly not cheap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wonder6281 Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 I bought Australian Lamb from Foodland, but way too expensive. Now I buy a slab of Sirloin and cut it into steaks for the BBQ. Works out about 200 baht per steak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hellyes2oo2 Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 If the lamb is vacuum packed and chilled at makro, then i would doubt that it has been frozen already. if it had been frozen, then thawed it would turn black within a day, and also it would not stay vacuum sealed, the packacking would be full of air.

Works out about 200 baht per steak. You can buy frozen NZ boneless leg of lamb (and shoulder) for the same price as the AA tenderloin Thai beef. That's an amazing deal considering how far it has to travel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LennyW Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 Have to have live sheep to have fresh lamb and Thailand does not have sheeps You are so wrong there, there is quite often hundreds of them roaming about in a field near the sports stadium on Chaiyapruek 2, stop and ask the people looking after them where they butcher them.

Popular Post sirbrinkie Posted May 3, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted May 3, 2013 I have tried the local lamb meat which here is usually used for grilling only on the BBQ - not very tasty - similar to what you would find in the Middle East. Frozen Lamb from Makro ex AUS/NZ is the best and most likely the most economical - the secret is too let it thaw very slowly in your fridge for at least 3 to 4 days until the juices appear then ready for the oven 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
