ThePunPun Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 Yes, I have to say to all our loyal friends out there...... we at The Pun Pun did try our best. Having had The Pun Pun now, for some almost 18 years, and having become friends with many, many of the posters on TV, it does sadden me to say the following. All good things do come to an end, and this includes menu prices also; We have got to raise our prices. The last time we had any price increase on our menu was 1st May, 2011, and between you and I, there have been considerable cost increases in the past 2 years. The exact date that the price increase will come into effect has not yet been determined. Being older and lazier , than I used to be, has caused my menu creation to slow considerably. But best guess would be sometime within the next several weeks. In the meantime, for those of you who have become hooked on the Chicken Fried Steak Dinner, may want another or to give one a try before the new menu prices. Now would be a good time to give it a try. As slways, TV members identifying themselves will receive the usual 10% TV Discount. { I mention this only because I know that it ticks off a few of our fellow members} ...... besides, the gathering of information seems to be the flavor of the month these days. Just to tickle your memory button [and I get to eat after taking the photos}....... Chicken Fried Steak Dinner Chicken Fried Superman [ thanks to Barnicle Bob] Just as a bit of information...... If you just scratch the image a little, lean over and put your sniffer close to your screen, then....... well most of you are old enough to know what I mean...... Great stuff this modern technology ....... courtesy of the GOBBLE boys....... Remember Gobble is your friend Thanks ALL for the past patronage.

Dante99 Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 No problem with a price increase, it is normal and I am sure the new prices will be a bargain too. Keep up the good work Gonzo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mania Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 It is better to hear of a price increase than a long time business going under. Good Luck to you & hope to try your food soon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WinnieTheKhwai Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 Heh, when I saw the title I was sure the topic was going to be "The whole place is closing, I'm selling the land to a resort hotel company and buying a yacht with the money." I feel strangely relieved, though I have no logical explanation for it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rebo Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 Thanks for the early announcement, John. So you gave us the chance to enjoy your one-of-a-kind pork knuckle and other delicious stuff at least once more at old prices. See you very soon ...

hellodolly Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 Well I don't get over your way that often but when I did I reallyenjoyed the food. I remember the first time I went there4 I had my mind set on one of your dishes I had seen advertised but they brought me a menu and my eyes spotted the beans and wieners and my mind went back to my youth. They were delicious. To be honest with you if you didn't raise them I would begin to think you were doing like a lot of other places and cutting down on the size of the portions.

Barnacle Bob here, first thing is yes I had a brother named Bill, he was not in the Navy but retired from the Army. Nor was I in the Navy but I did own a nice boat at one time. My cholesterol is 160 and I take no medications for it. However, it is not like I eat at Pun Pun every day, I only have these meals in the photo every so often so my body has a lot of time to recover in between. Thank you for your concerns, I will keep it in mind and not over due it but remain happy with a good old fashion meal from time to time at Pun Pun.

LOL Lipator is for fighting cholesterol and has some wicked side effects for some people. It is the only drug I have ever taken that caused that much pain. I tried every thing and the pain stopped when I stopped the Lipator. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chiang mai Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 In only twenty one posts we've seen an attack on the title, an attack on the cholesterol levels in the food and now an attack on the map. Then we've moved on to a discussion on Liptor and a lengthy discussion (now deleted) on Japanese food in various parts of Japan, I wonder what's comming next, perhaps something relevant to the OP perchance?.

WinnieTheKhwai Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 (edited) ....anddd to that we add "complaining about other people's posts." Anyway, what else is there to say? The OP was an announcement. If it wasn't for some banter then it would be on Page 2 by now, and nobody would see it.

highonthai Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 Although I tend not to eat western food, your meals are home cooking at it best. I salute you for trying for so long to keep your prices down and portions substantial. A few baht either way is not going to effect a restaurant that serves quality meals. Keep it up.

That is funny because a few months back that is exactly what I did. Found a Punpun in Santitam via google went there sat down with a menu & realized this is not the food I saw on this forum Had the avocado wrap anyway & it was ok. Not great enough to make me ever go back though. Will try again now that I have an idea where it is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gonzo the Face Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 Yeah there has been some confusion with that. For some reason, some few years back they decided to name their place Pun Pun. They are tied in with some organically growing veggie farm out past Mae Rim someplace....... They are the vegetarian Pun Pun. The [real[ Pun Pun has been here for about 30 years now and is the " Meat-a-tarian Pun Pun, The Real one. For google purposes one needs to google Pun Pun Guest House and Restaurant. Sorry for any confusion to those having to go thru a meatless meal....... One thing that we are quitely unknown for is our Shan Food. Being as Ms Gonzo is Shan and a great little cook in her own rite. I'll try and stick a photo in of one of the more popular dishes..... For lack of a better translation, we just call it the Shan Noodle Meal; If anyone out there is a fan of Shan Food, and would like more info, PM me or get in touch and we will see if we can meet your needs.
