Jingthing Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 (edited) I suggest Pastrami and Rye do S.O.S. The cheap way in Thailand is with minced beef and that's wrong. They could easily repurpose some of their beef meat to do it properly! I see from this link it can be served on biscuits. They've got biscuits. This could be a winner! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chipped_beef Edited April 4, 2015 by Jingthing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThaiBob Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 I once had the misfortune to try the breakfast at Simple Simon's, in Jomtien, which they advertise as the "best" breakfast in the area. Unfortunately, even set against a pretty mediocre English-style breakfast, it fell woefully short. Cheap ingredients, disgusting coffee, lackadaisical service; it just has nothing to recommend it; unless the standards of the clientele are equally low! At the opposite end of the spectrum is The Continental, slightly outside of Jomtien close to the Airport Bus terminal. It is a great-value breakfast, offering slight variants of ingredients as a token towards different Nationalities (e.g. English, German, American). It is clean and decent, offers good coffee, and is operated efficiently and politely. Having eaten there a number of times, I would recommend it wholeheartedly. Despite the bold type I like your post. I don't know anything about Simple Simons as their breakfast menu is not my favorite. The Continental has been there for years, opens early, has a loyal customer base and serves a good breakfast at a very reasonable price. Fully air conditioned, good service, friendly staff, what's not to like? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dotpoom Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 (edited) Looks horrible to me too....with respect, if that's your best I wouldn't like to tackle your worst. Linda's (beside View Talay 2) does far better than that starting at 99 Baht. PS. Was in at the "I Rover" for that hugh nosh up for 99 Baht.....it's now 129 Baht since last week...but still a plowman's breakfast, Edited April 4, 2015 by dotpoom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peterb17 Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 NO - not another breakfast thread for cheap Charlie's- this looks horrendous ( apologies OP) . If you send the jam back- can you save 3 baht ?

I think a lot of posters on this thread have never even eaten at Pastrami on Rye or have some serious issue with "quality competition." I have never seen "overcooked eggs, tang or hot dogs at Pastrami on Rye. Unlike some posters, I have actually eaten there. It is, IMHO, a place that is serving good quality breakfast items that are "American." My meal was good and the price was not expensive and the atmosphere was nice along with the waittresses. They have American-style pancakes and French toast (have not eaten it yet, but it looks good to me w/ fresh bananas on top), American-style bacon, bisquits (very large bisquit) and gravy w/ sausage in it, sausage similar to Jimmy Dean sausage (not the British link sausage, which I dislike), a bisquit and egg and cheese sandwich (w/ choice of sausage or ham or bacon on it), several types of omelettes, a Mexican breakfast burrito, ham and eggs, among other items. If you want more European food, fine, go get it at the Continental (which also serves some hard to find items like rosti (what Americans call has brown potatoes..not frozen but homemade) or Danmark (Danmark also has Thai food on their buffet breakfast) or Simple Simons. If you want an American-style breakfast, try Pastrami on Rye or The Moonshine Bar (which also serves some hard to find items like bisquits and gravy, SOS and even grits) or Rich Man Poor Man(which also serves some hard to find items like eggs benedict). The good news is that we have several options for breakfast, no matter where you are from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnC Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 Beware of the breakfast in the Continental Jomtien, they serve a large slice of farmhouse toast with a sliver of butter,, an extra sliver will cost you 20 baht extra! Not a lot of money but it spoils what would have been a good breakfast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lou62 Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 I think the nicest venue (haven't been to the new Pastrami On Rye but will give it a try) is O'Garas. Poached eggs on toast, or their small breakfast. Tea pot with milk (without having to ask), Air conditioned with lots of newspapers to browse. Everything cooked well and great service. I know the've recently raised their price but good quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KittenKong Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 I love good British tea. Please be specific with the directions as I started looking on Pratumnak approaching soi 4, drove down soi 4 as a short distance. What I did see was O'garas which I posted positively about on restaurant threads. They have a big breakfast and a small breakfast which are excellent. Don't go there frequently because of the location and am not fond of baked beans, stewed tomatoes, Canadian style ham, etc. It's about 50 yards down Soi 4, last building on the left before the first corner. This is the building: https://goo.gl/maps/uknyb but it looks a bit different now. Warning: Irish Wolfhound breakfast contains baked beans and a grilled tomato. I'm told that you can barter something you dont like for more of something you do like, but I've never tried it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mogo51 Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 An update on Irish Wolfhound , their excellent breakfast now costs 80 baht, incl coffee. Still best deal in this area. Without a doubt still the best value breakfast in Pattaya/Jomtien. Have been going there with friends for several years. Even at 80bht (it had to go up) it is value and quality. Went to the other Pastrami joint for a sandwich several months ago on recommendation - very ordinary and expensive. Better value at Bakery next to 7/11 on Jomtien 2nd road.

thaibeachlovers Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 What I hate is when they do a nice big breakfast, but don't include something like baked beans or mushrooms and charge almost 50% of the BB cost for an extra to be included.Baked beans and mushrooms with Brekkie is un-American.Sent from my Lenovo S820_ROW using Thaivisa Connect Thailand mobile app I said BIG breakfast, not American breakfast.

thaibeachlovers Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 U can get the smoked bacon they are using from the tesco express. Its buy one packet and get one free for 99 baht. enough for at least 10 breakfeasts. havent any of u trained your wives in the art of making u the perfect breakfast yet? Anyway the only time i enjoy bacon and eggs ect is when im really hungry in the morning. i think the bread is the biggest part of it. Has to be thick and really crunchy. My wife does a great big breakfast. Just as good as anything in a restaurant. I also taught her how to make nice S & S sauce which is better than the anaemic stuff they serve in Thai restaurants. Only decent S & S I had in a Thai restaurant was on Naklua beach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The cheapest lowest quality ingredients do not make a good breakfast in my opinion.

jonnyscot Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 Glad to hear Rich Man Poor Man is still up there getting recommendations, it's been a long time favourite of mine anytime I have a trip down to patts/jomtiem,, anyone been to the pig and whistle lately?

Minnehaha Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 Interesting topic. Wish it was about Bangkok, but happy for folks in Pattaya and Jomtien. One thing I find strange... with all the pork in this country and the huge exports of quality pork products to foreign country standards, etc., why does Thai bacon always disappoint? I have tried so many... I think I have tried them all. Foodland bacon can be almost acceptable but 80% of the time it is terrible and ridiculously expensive. TGM is no good. Bangkok Brand is bad. I go to Australia or even better the USA and get excellent bacon quite easily. On the other hand it is impossible to get moo krob in NY. khao kaa moo does not exist in US either. Still, how hard can it be to cut bacon correctly and smoke it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghostnigel Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 That bacon is overcooked. The burgers look disgusting. The egg reminds me of the washing cloth on my sink. Where is the butter for the toast? 155Baht for that? I wouldn't eat it even if it was free. Are you the person that has been making comments on their Facebook too?Are you stalking them and why?
