SurfRider Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 Has anyone seen this "delicacy" available in any restaurant in Pattaya / Jomtien?Probably a heart attack on a plate, but very popular as an appetizer in other parts of the world. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blooming_onion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jingthing Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 (edited) Thank God no! Is that only found at Outback steakhouses? (The chain.) Edited May 13, 2013 by Jingthing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rajab Al Zarahni Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 Thank God I have never seen it for sale anywhere. It's clearly a dish for those who have given up on life or who are too fat to care about their future life expectancy. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richsilver Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 They have something similar at the Outback in Bangkok (top floor of the Siam Discovery Center) and, a better one I think, at Tony Roma's (bottom floor of Siam Paragon and at Terminal 21). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SurfRider Posted May 14, 2013 Author Share Posted May 14, 2013 . "This is surely meant to be shared buy a group of people?"I would hope so, but nevertheless, it's always fun to read the knee-jerk off-topic opinions of the Nattering Snobs of Negativism on a subject like this . . . Only two on-topic responses so far.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jingthing Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 It's obesity on a plate! The egg wash and deep frying preparation process of the blooming onion means it is high in calories. In round numbers, a human at rest expends about 2000 calories per day; a single blooming onion with dressing contains approximately 3,000 calories and 134 grams of fat. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blooming_onion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SurfRider Posted May 14, 2013 Author Share Posted May 14, 2013 (edited) . "What is it?" It's an onion "appetizer" created by a restaurant in the USA. Supposedly serves 6 people, which puts the calories at around 500 (335 without dressing) and about 100 Baht per person at state-side prices -- Much cheaper here I'm sure, if it could be found - and obviously not intended to be daily fare. Probably not much different than a large order of onion rings. . Edited May 14, 2013 by SurfRider Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jingthing Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 (edited) Typically shared by two people in real life. How many people typically share this dish in fantasy ? One. No sharing! Like cake. It's a marketing thing to soften the calorie news to suggest it is eaten by six people. It's like products at the market that say 300 calories per serving and they list the serving size as absurdly tiny. A trick. A ruse. A gimmick. A scam. You're gonna get fatter!

I agree Tony Romas does it better. Great "appetizer" I even like Ice cream and cake for "desert" Oh oh, I just admitted on line that I occasionally like excessive calories. Shame on me. .
