alfieconn Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 Rimping In Promenada were selling it, just tell them how much you want and they will cut a piece off for you, not great but if it satisfys your craving then all well and good.

trainman34014 Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 Never see it on a menu in Chiang Mai....but there may be someone out there who has. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ulysses G. Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 None of them. The beef available here is much better than it used to be, but not up to that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicog Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 La Fourchette is mentioned favourably on Tripadvisor. And last year they had it on promotion at The Steak House in JJ Market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arunsakda Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 And maybe start with a Caesar Salad tossed tableside, Lobster Thermidor appetizer and for dessert Baked Alaska. Any good wines to pair with culinary classics of the 1950's? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicog Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 (edited) Perhaps it isn't. Added: One review of La Fourchette mentions imported NZ Charolais beef. Edited January 19, 2014 by Chicog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samtam Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 I've made Beef Wellington from Australian grass-fed beef tenderloin, available here in Central Food Hall, in Bangkok. Don't Central supply it up there too? Caesar Salad is a regular on our menu at home here, (usually with slices of cold steamed chicken). Both quite easy to make, if you can cook. (And I hope I'm not being smart-arsed here, it's just that I prefer to cook at home most of the time, when I know the ingredients are good.)

gennisis Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 None of them. The beef available here is much better than it used to be, but not up to that. I notice that thesedays Rimping are charging more for the 'Steak' cuts of beef from Thai cattle than Australian and New Zealand beef . I must admit that if its a steak,I still choose imported,but for stews I go for Thai...Shin of beef (shank) arround 350/kilo Best fillet I've had was over 1500/kilo from Tops,,grass fed from Australia....very tender!

Cooking well is not an impossible artform. (And I hope I'm not being smart-arsed...but no doubt you will interpret as you choose.) Ar*ed should have been an indicator. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post beau thai Posted January 20, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted January 20, 2014 Amazing how even a simple straightforward request for beef wellington quickly degenerates into personal abuse. Or maybe not amazing these days on TV.Sad though. You could try the new British Restaurant, The Edge Did an excellent Christmas Lunch and I suspect for a group of at least 4, may prepare Beef Wellington for you. Worth a phone call. Great location on the river-they have a facebook page for more details. For those suspicious souls here, I have no connection, I am just a very satisfied customer. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicog Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 It would seem those that bother to comment on TripAdvisor all rate this place very highly - will have to give it a try myself next time.

Thighlander Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 before going out for BW; it might be wise to know the difference between filet steak and tenderloin. If the are using real tenderloin,; it is going to come with a hefty price tag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the are using real tenderloin,; it is going to come with a hefty price tag. For the uninitiated, here's the difference: There isn't one. They are both beef loin, and Tenderloin is the name used in the US as opposed to the name Fillet used everywhere else. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From the US consulate / white chedi walk past the all the fruit stalls about 200m on the right. Literally the edge of the river, hence the name. Has a nice funky bamboo lattice wall that I was looking at to copy for myself sometime. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
