Your chance to suggest SPECIFIC splurge dishes at local restaurants priced 300B to sky's the limit!

[Jingthing]

You know sometimes you just GOTTA (or maybe just WANNA) have a SPLURGE!!!!!

Here is YOUR CHANCE to suggest specific food dishes FOR A BIG OR LITTLE SPLURGE (of any kind, of any nationality) at local restaurants in town.

Starting price at 300 baht for a SINGLE DISH (or total for buffet deal) up to SKY's THE LIMIT.

This is for SINGLE DISHES ONLY or if you wish all included buffet type deals which have a set total price.

When naming your PICKS, please provide as much of this kind of DETAIL as you can:

-- Name of dish

-- Description if not obvious

-- Why the dish is so bloody wonderful at this place?

-- Name of restaurant

-- Location of restaurant (if not obvious)

-- Price of dish

Please no single dish or buffet deal priced under 300 baht.

This is about at least some level of SPLURGE!!!!

Not the place to focus on lower prices or bargains (we do that enough here)!

Looking forward to your suggestions!

As an example of the suggested FORMAT for suggestions, I will do this first one myself.

It is indeed a SINCERE suggestion as well:

- Name of dish

Spicy Sliced Fish in Chili Oil

-- Description if not obvious

Boiled fish in an incredibly delicious and spicy hot pepper/tingling Sichuan pepper red broth w/ Chinese vegetables

-- Why the dish is so bloody wonderful at this place?

It may just change your life!

-- Name of restaurant

H & L Sichuan Cuisine and Seafood

--Location of restaurant if not obvious

In the walking soi parallel to Thappraya approaching the Dongtan Police Box, enter by the side of Country Road bar:

-- Price of dish

420 baht

- Name of dish

Spicy Sliced Fish in Chili Oil

-- Price of dish

420 baht

420 Baht for a single dish in a small bowl!

I'm not a fan of seafood / fish but I'd be surprised if you couldn't find the very same dish for 210 baht elsewhere.

Sure you can eat "normal" Asian food nearly anywhere.... and when the bill comes simply insist on paying AT LEAST B400.

"Friendly" suggestion:

PLEASE limit the posts here to the SUGGESTED FORMAT only.

Snarky comment posts are NOT WELCOME on this thread.

If you don't have any suggestions that fit the format then PLEASE DO NOT POST AT ALL.

If that means this thread dies because nobody has any suggestions, that is FINE. but I think it's worth a try.

Yes this is a STRUCTURED THREAD with a DEFINED FORMAT.

Is it possible to be more clear than that?

Regrets that I didn't spell out SUGGESTIONS WELCOME ONLY in the OP. I guess I thought it was implied. Silly of me!

The Greek dish looks great but I bet they don't really cook it for 12 hours.

This thread is something different. A thread for CONSTRUCTIVE SUGGESTIONS ONLY.

That's all. That's it. Take them or leave them.
