What Sandwich do you wish you could find here and if you do where in Pattaya?

[mogandave]

Rich Man Poor Man on Soi 9 Jomtien has a full range of US sandwiches including Pastrami, Reubens, Philly Cheese steak, meatball subs and the list goes on. I only found this place at the weekend so cannot tell you what they are all like but I guarantee that I will know. The food I had was excellent.

And what did you have, and how much was it?

Here is their complete menu with prices:

My opinion is that this place has some decent enough food but don't go in there expecting Katz's Deli!

Also the "atmosphere" isn't for everyone.

You'll know what I mean if you visit.

Actually a good soup and sandwich is an excellent lunch or dinner ,but what soups....a deli needs Jewish Penicillin ,

a recipe for Chicken Noodle I learned from my Babysiter Mrs. Kravitz a great Mom and human being ,who I learned allot about Jewish Delis from that lady!

A good bowl of Chili is cool too ,

I learned that in Manhattan at The Riviera ,great side-walk cafe in Greenwich Vilage 4th& &7 th Ave.

The chip buttie is an old English favorite of many years, the question of whether or not it's healthy is academic, it isn't, but they are very enjoyable provided all the ingredients are done properly, you should try one JT, just for the experience.

It sounds disgusting, but as it's fried and unhealthy, there is little doubt that I would like it.

Dont forget lashings of salt and vinegar to top it off, yes you will love it.

Another personal favourite of mine (dont bother reading JT), black pudding on a roll topped off with HP Brown sauce.

Why is it so hard to get a decent sandwich in this country?

JT what happened to that deli/Mexican place in Jomtien?

They used to sell an excellent Reubens.

If you've got access to a frying pan and a single burner stove (or better) the sandwiches described here are not difficult to make, it might get expensive buying all the ingredients for a single sandwich but if you figure that you might make several over the course of a week, it becomes cost effective, assuming you've got a decent refrigerator - finding the ingredients here these days is not difficult, ten years ago lots of substitutions had to be made and the end result wasn't always great, today it's a walk in the park.

For me, my once a month treat (because I'm diabetic) is a grilled Reuben, 150 grams of good quality pastrami sliced super thin costs about 125 baht, Thai sauerkraut is decent quality, cheap and readily available - Elemental cheese or similar is not cheap at 175 baht a pack (figure 6 sandwiches per pack) - rye bread or similar is cheap at 60 baht, in my neck of the woods, try it!.

Yes, I'm sure but if I'm looking to gain 5 kilos from one meal, I can think of more delicious ways to do it ...

Yanks seem to have that ability on lock down.... are you serious in thinking us Brits eat chip buttys everyday?

Pattaya has imitations on all food a plenty, very hard to find the real thing...even khao man gai

[TheWizardofRnR]

Zabar's where I bought a few gadgets like my Bagel Slicer...we had great bagels in Phuket

,I wonder if they'd ship to us here ,they made our Jewish caraway rye.....also the person who put Pastrami on their Reuben , a true Reuben is Corned Beef ,when Pastrami is used slaw for kraut is substituted... and its a Rachel ! Lots of NY places use to serve with Russian Dressing !

Just never heard of or seen such a sandwich...I guess it hasn't migrated south from Canada yet.

A (hot) roast pork, with stuffing and gravy, in a baguette (some pork crackling too).

Used to be able to get them years ago in The George & Dragon (Soi Xcyte), but haven't seen / heard of anywhere else since.

If anyone does know of somewhere doing a reasonable one, please advise.

The 'Oz Burgers' van on the juncton of Soi Diana and Buakhao (sp) do a good 'hot' roast beef and onion baguette with horseradish (if required) tell them to grill the bread though, my one was way too soft and it just fell apart, but the filling is very good.

I was In Phnom Penh recently, shame I never knew about fat boys then

An Aussie burger does not have horseradish. They should be sued. And if it did not have beetroot, it was a fake.

We are not talking about burgers, Go back and read my post a

We're not talking aboutr baguettes,go back and read your post again.

[TheWizardofRnR]

I wonder if their are customers for Soft shell crab Po-boy Sandwiches , Shrimp Po-boys and Shrimp Roll Subs, after all it is a seaside resort? I think the way to find out is do a poll ,list about ten great sandwiches and see what

readers pick as their top 5 ??? but all they need do is check them off , its hard to figure from all you members posting, but Philly Cheese-steaks ,Reubens and BBQ pulled Pork seemed the most mentioned so far!

Thank you for your posting. I am thinking in opening a sandwich shop on my town and the information I am getting here will be very useful.

The King of sandwiches - the internationally famous Chip Butty

I think the international fame that comes from a chip butty is when Brits are traveling. I can assure you that the vast majority of people in my home country couldn't tell you what a chip butty is (thankfully LOL). I remember having lunch with some English friends and one of them asked me if was going to finish my 'chips'. as they were not to my liking, i.e. limp and greasy, I gladly gave them up, The next thing I see is the guy putting them between two pieces of buttered white bread and gobbling it down with great pleasure. I was surprised as i had never heard of such a strange combination. Each to his own, but I have never been tempted to try this all-carbohydrate sandwich.

I make potato chip sandwiches. two slices of bread mayonnaise and potato chips.

[RabC]

I would LOVE to be able to get a good hot turkey sandwich with gravy and I don't care where in Pattaya I had to go to get it !!!!!!

I agree completely (yikes!).

I am sorry but how can something that is covered in Gravy, requires eating utensils and is not contained between two bits of bread be called a sandwich?

I did give you a like for your sandwich but would need to discuss whether you were actually using crisps

I usually use Lays potato chips that i get at the local mini tesco.

Don't know where to get them like this in Thai but this is my favorite also but with just a bit of apple sauce on there as well.

RabC how much did it cost in Spain figured in Baht, since Serrano varies from 8-900B a kilo or more and cheapest Roquefort here is over 1000B a kilo to almost 2000B...so to make it here it we would have to sell for

600B and thats on the cheaper end probably more !

i find one way to get around the high cost of bleu or gorganzola is to make a spread or a dressing and use that on the sandwich, or as a dip on the side.

back in 2000 i opened an American style diner in Jomtien near the Hunaman statue with my UK partner. it was called Jigsaw, and despite the critical acclaim from the local press and our customers we sold the place and shut the doors after a year for lack of sufficient trade ... but back in 2000 Jomtien was still considered to be the darkside of the moon and the local population of expats and the number of tourists was a fraction of what it is now, and TH was still suffering from the crash of the baht which was good for tourists but not local businesses ... most of the sois running off of the beach were nothing but abandoined shells of condos and retail shops.

this was the sanwqich section of ourt menu ... BTW: the BBQ Pork S/W on the butter-grilled Kaiser roll was the biggest seller ... note the price structure form 2000.

Same thing in Phuket ,due to the drop off after economic downturn in '08 plus its just lost all its comrade-ship ,guess they got too old ! Yet, I constantly heard people say "we dont go to Patong much anymore"...that's where our Deli and frozen foods biz was. Your Menu was very similar to my DERBY KING on Patpong , a Deli& Diner ,plus some items on the Menu at Bourbon St. in Bangkok when I was a Chef - teacher to Doug's cooks in '88.

When I go in a joint with a long menu and a short trade, I assume everything is old.

Why not pick a few good sellers with decent margin and go with those?
