A device for draining and removing excess water from salad greens after they've been washed. It uses motion and centrifugal (I think) force to get the lingering water off your salad.

I wasn't asking you either.

 

You've obviously never had the opportunity to dine in the better international hotels.

 

Get a proper job and maybe you'll be able to afford life on the other side.

 

Bangkok has it all, just out of you price range, obviously.

tsk, tsk...a salad spinner by means of a centrifugal mechanism removes excess water from salad leaves that have been washed thereby rendering them crispy and not soggy...

 

I have owned many over the years and once thought of starting a collection ('great salad spinners of the world') and issuing a dissertation describing their development and discussing their significance in a rapidly deteriorating world...

 

mostly made outta plastic and flimsy like rotating colanders I saw the 'brick shithouse' one inna supermarket in Jeddah almost 10 years ago and thought: 'I gotta have that...'...yew could run a truck over it and it would still work, cost almost 100 riyals...

soggy with the dressing is exactly how i want my salad. but then... to each his own

come to think of a restaurant in Orlando where i ordered roquefort dressing and found some pieces of cheese decoratively on top of my salad. when i asked "where's the liquid dressing?" the answer was "that would spoil the crispyness."

can we not say that improvements in kitchen technology expand one's culinary horizons? I resisted getting a food processor all these years...one's luddite proclivities become debilitating eventually...

 

plus salad spinners are so round...and wholesome...how can anyone resist?

 

the fecundity of the salad spinner...

There's another version which incorporated a blade (well, several interchangeable blades), cuts the vegetable at the same time. Tops got them, sometimes, but only a in one-portion size.

Yeah, I would have preferred one of the corn-dogs you were going on about, but I try to eat local.

That looks awful to be fair. Looks like a jazzed up korma.

Why is that curry on a piece of wood? Would probably look better in a traditional curry bowl anyhow i hope it tastes better than it looks

No curry, it was pretty different other Indian I have had.

The peanut dish was under 100 and the chicken dish was under 150.

Oh dear. Yet another person on Thai Visa that makes wild assumptions about someone they don't know and have never met. How unusual.

I'm not going to feed a troll by giving them any information about myself.

Peanut appetiser for 100 baht. That seems excessive and that could be the last time you got ripped :-)

India is pretty cheap once you get outside of the hotel.



Tonight it's the seafood buffet at Novotel Ploenchit...

Massala art 2nd floor of some mall on ekkamai is a great curry house.

I agree, I think there is another branch lower sukhumvit side (got delivery from them last time), price is on par with good quality (still think it's bit pricey)

Not sure about 2nd branch but a lovely curry. I did have one weird dish there involving a cheese based curry dish I think but other than that a great meal but no way would I order take out from there. As you say too pricey especially as a take out unless it's a different price than restaurant.

For some reason I thought they had a second branch but they are actually located on soi 8 thonglor just checked their site.

 

This is my order from last time. the 1st order of Samosas, the delivery company added 14 baht on top of the listed price on their site, I'm sure they did the same for the rest. I did over do it on the naans and Samosas, they were huge, had to fridge most of them.
