If you ate only one dessert every year, what would it be in Pattaya?

It need not to be always sweet. I love the Italian way as well.

Cheese, Salami, Bread and Wine.

...

Italy doesn't have the best salamis,

either cheese i would choose from france,

and the red wine fron SA !!

Whatever you choose.... imho, best of;

Red wine; 1. Italy, 2. Spain

Cheese; 1. France, 2. Switzerland And Italy

SA have decent steaks.

Desserts please.

Yes I'm aware of the European concept of a cheese course dessert but this thread is about the more universal idea of dessert.

Not all threads need to be about everything in the world.

There is such a thing as focusing on the actual TOPIC presented in the OP.

That said, (sweet) dessert WINES would fit well enough ... I've had some amazing ones before but when I said price was no object perhaps I lied, because a really world class dessert wine in Thailand ... mucho dinero.

Cheers.

How do you equate cheese, salami and wine with dessert?

Dessert (/dɨˈzɜrt/) is a course that concludes an evening meal. The course usually consists of sweet foods and beverages, but may include coffee, cheeses, nuts, or other savory items.

I think the general consensus would be that dessert is some kind of sweet, be it fruit, pudding, whatever. If you took a poll, I would be more than a little surprised if someone said salami.

I second the Chocolate mud cake! As thick and heavy as possible.

I like a good chocolate mud cake.

Where?

Babylon in Bangkok has a restaurant, they have good mud cake. But that is not Pattaya so is it doesn't count. But good cheese cake beats mud cake every time, that's for sure! Starbuck's cheese cake is really not bad, especially if you haven't tasted good cheese cake in long time.

Is there any place in Pattaya that serves a real luxurious British high tea with clotted cream?

There certainly is.

You can find it in Soi Dreamland, next door to the honest estate agent and that bar with the hookers with a heart of gold.

On a serious note, for something like that I would go to a former British colony (Malaysia or Singapore would be best, then India) or straight to London. I can recommend the Savoy personally, but let someone else pay.

Mmm. Now that really is tempting.

Yangon is closer than India and they do it just like the old days at The Strand Hotel

I don't know but that me made me wonder. Is there any place in Pattaya that serves a real luxurious British high tea with clotted cream?

The last time I did that was at the great hotel in Victoria, British Columbia.

That was one of my pet ideas when I first moved to Phuket. I love to drink tea. I was going to open a high tea spot. But after doing my due dilligence I decided otherwise. I would still like to have a crack at it, high end china the whole deal, and no JT don't get your hopes up, I not gay.

Good idea. That hotel looks like it's stuck in a time warp, rather like one I remember from Macau 30+ years ago before they had the really big casinos. It looked like a relic from a Graham Greene novel and I expected the Palm Court Orchestra to strike up at any moment. My bedroom (with covered balcony and ceiling fan) overlooked the river with a view across to the other islands. A true experience that will stay with me forever. I love places like that.

The cake stand in that video looked a little bit sparse when compared to the photos on my Google link, but worth it for the ambience I'm sure.

Malaysia definitely. The Eastern and Oriental Hotel in Penang or possibly the Coliseum Cafe in Kuala Lumpur. Both great venues if you want to act out the role of the English,Edwardian country gentleman ( or a deceased Ottoman Sultan).
