champers Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 Not necessarily from a fish and chip shop but definitely not deep fried frozen ones. Made by Expats or Thais; I don't care. Must be on sale to all & sundry, please, so no "my wife's /girlfriend's/ boyfriends are best". Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaiyapoon Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 Not come across any decent non frozen chips. The best chips I've had locally were when I asked Usa frozen large size chips (in lengh and width) at 75b a plate altogether better than the many poor offerings I've tried here.I have only seen these at Zeasens far up on the left side of Nernplubwan.Do a worth while fish and chips as well breaded at 135b I don't think they can get good chipping potatoes in Thailand so hand cut home made mostly fail miserably.

KittenKong Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 Try the Golden Friar in Jomtien. 99B up for F&C. They are quite chunky and I like them, and I think they do a good job with the potato variety used. They are certainly nothing like the frozen ones that one gets everywhere here, and which are usually undercooked in the wrong oil at too low a cooking temperature giving you a pale yellow soggy mess.

DD13 Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 (edited) My favourite Pattaya restaurant (English owned).....serves better fish & chips than any that I have had in England..... The chips are always crisp on the outside and soft in the middle.......the fish is always fresh white texture, without bones (not a bottom feeding breed) and cooked perfectly and at 149 baht priced very well Oh....and I am English Edited April 22, 2014 by DD13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All of which is top-notch information. But we dont know what place you are talking about. We can only guess that you were referrring to Simon's in Jomtien, in which case I dont remember seeing F&Cs on their menu outside for 149B, though I am more than prepared to be told that I am wrong. Can you clarify? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KittenKong Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 ...the fish is always fresh white texture, without bones (not a bottom feeding breed) and cooked perfectly and at 149 baht priced very well At 149B I suppose that it will be Tilapia, such as one would get in every cheap F&C shop here that I know of. "Bottom-feeding" is the least one should worry about with this fish (which isn't to say that I dont eat it as the fillets are indeed white and boneless and tasty enough).

Yes, it's not bad. And yes, it's Tilapia. The place in New Plaza is similar and 50B cheaper (peas not included). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pattaya Pat Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 Simons in Jomtien. Proper chips. Delicious Agree. They are the best chips I've had here, actually had some tonight which didn't sway my vote, just a coincidence. Will give this Pattini a go, been meaning too, it looks very clean from the outside.

rhythmworx Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 Simons in Jomtien. Proper chips. Delicious I must admit they are the best home made chips I have tried in LOS, although it was about 6 years ago, at which time I believe the owner had it up for sale. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sigurris Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 I don't know how long Malcolm (the owner) has been at Simons but the chips have been consistently brilliant in the 4 years I have been eating there.

Do you mean "curry and chips"? I noticed another branch of that the other day as I was driving around. Was it on 3rd Road near Klang? Not been tempted to try either branch though as they look like every bad pie and chips place I have ever seen in the UK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sigurris Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 Lovely cod from curry n chips but what a huge disapointment the chips are. Bog standard frozen. If I want them I could cook them at home.

champers Posted April 25, 2014 Author Share Posted April 25, 2014 Just to get back to my original question: everyone seem to be concentrating solely on fish & chip shops. However, other establishments can be included. I've always enjoyed the home-made chips at Bei Mama on the Naklua Pattaya road. It's a Thai lady who runs the place and it's mostly, but not exclusively, popular with Germans. Very good Thai food, plenty of duck dishes but great chips too. Are there any similar places whose chips are top notch? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
