Any Delicatessens?

[AyG]

I'll be visiting Pattaya later this month and was wondering whether there are any delicatessens there stocking imported food or locally produced versions of western food. It would be nice to stock up on things I can't get locally given the opportunity.

Thanks.

Not really sure what you require...Italian...Jewish...those delis we don't have. If you just need some passable cold-cuts for sandwiches we got plenty of choice.

There are multiple specialty type stores for different nationalities imported products. Multiple Italian ones, some French. I don't know them all. Try the Italian place on Jomtien 2nd road, opposite side from Rompho Market, not far from Soi 5. I would definitely classify that place as an Italian deli. Packaged goods and deli case.

Try the regular local markets for some local versions of western packaged food.

Friendship Market on Pattaya Tai, Foodmart on Thappraya Jomtien, etc.

The big Thai chains such as Villa less stocking of these small local brands.

I should have been more specific. I'd really like some stinky French cheeses (Époisses would have me in rapture if available), Cumberland sausages, pork pies, salami, chorizo, good olive oil.

You can get all of that here with multiple choices, though not sure about the specific French cheese you mention.

the Store at the end of North Pattaya Road, just before the right turn into the Naklua Road (right at the roundabout) has a good selection of salamis, french cheeses and sandwich toppings. Check out the map here: http://wikitravel.org/en/File:Pattaya_Map.png

in case you like a good pastrami, check out this new place in Jomtien : http://www.pastramionryethailand.com/

Best place I know of for French cheeses is BigC.

The best chorizo is actually in the southern Lotus.

Most of the stuff you describe can be got at Friendwhip Deli counter and check the freezer for Yorkies Cumberland sausage.

I looked today. No "Epoisses" in BigC Sukumvit but not a bad selection of other Casino brand cheeses.

Thanks. Looking at the map, would that be Fresh Supermarket (on the south side) or Best Supermarket (on the north)? Or am I completely wrong?

[KittenKong]

I was in Tops in Central the other day and their French cheese selection was quite good also. Prices rather high though.

No Epoisses that I could see.

I got some Brie de Meaux by Heath Farm the other week in Best Supermarket at Dolphin Roundabout!..... Smelly heaven!

A very good company is TGM ( Thai German Meat). Please see their website and what they sell. Aroi Maak.
