market trader Posted June 22, 2013 Share Posted June 22, 2013 I was at Rimping Nim city this morning looking at cheddar but the only thing I noticed was local sharp cheddar. In Canada I used to buy extra old cheddar 6 and 7 years old. 6 year old was $6.50 ( 210 bahts) for 454 grams. I also like dutch gouda with fine herbs but haven't been able to find it here.

kaptainrob Posted June 22, 2013 Share Posted June 22, 2013 Mainland cheeses are good quality ... like most products of NZ *cough* ... Makro's Gorgonzola is a one of my favourites, especially after we've finished our 'special delivery' 1kg blocks of Mainland Tasty. I find Rimping has better quality Brie and Camembert than Makro, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tywais Posted June 22, 2013 Share Posted June 22, 2013 Always have a stock of Mainland in the fridge. May have to give that one in the OP a try. Sounds best on crackers as it appears to be a sharp cheddar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Camembert or Brie ( even Blue Stilton works) with a good Sai Oua. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
market trader Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 Three posts have mentioned Mainland cheese. I went back again to Rimping Nim City. Still couldn't find it and I looked in all 3 areas where they keep cheese. Which Rimping can I find it in and are there any other shops that keep it?

They've got three grades with the 'Vintage' being the strongest and tastiest, 250 g for 175 Baht, the other two being 165 Baht for the same weight. Haven't yet seen this new 'Epicure' yet though but would imagine it will show up before long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ive seen 2kg of Anchor plain cheddar in Macro but thats nowhere near as good as Mainland. Damn I miss the good ole cheese from NZ. But glad we can buy greenlip mussels here...just for a treat every now and then. And there are some other reasonable cheeses here to....just gotta pay for them.

Normal price is $10/k for this age. 36month is about 15$/k. So CM prices are higher but I think still worth it in view of how hard it is to get good cheese in CM at an ok price.

After you have lived here long enough cheese that tastes like crap back home starts to taste good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ask visitors, usually BM's from Aus/Thai-centred forums, to bring over for me from NZ or Aus (usually). Chop it up into smaller blocks and freeze. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rene123 Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 I sure appreciate the price of good cheese now that I'm back in Canada. It is about 1/3 the price of Thailand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And how much would a mango cost you in Canada compared to Thailand? It's all relative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And how much would a mango cost you in Canada compared to Thailand? It's all relative. Actually, I can buy a mango from Mexico for about $1... or about 30 baht. But that is not the point. Thailand should be able to process good cheese but they don't seem to be able to. I don't really mind though because I will share my time between both countries. That way I will get the best of both countries. There are many things about Thailand that I love, or I would go elsewhere, but I don't. I don't have to be anywhere, so I can pick and choose where I wish to stay. I know the good and bad of most countries, and no place is perfect.
