webfact Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 Man offered 10 percent discount for finding cockroach in dim sum By Coconuts Bangkok BANGKOK: -- A Thai man said he was offered a 10 percent discount at a famous dim sum joint in Bangkok after they accidentally deserved a steamed cockroach with his food. On Sunday, Facebook user Hongtae P. Bodin posted a picture of a giant cockroach lying dead in his dim sum, explaining this happened at his go-to restaurant, Chokdee Dimsum on Sathupradit Soi 35. “We found a cockroach this big, so we refused to pay, but the employees gave us 10 percent discount. They said if they had let us eat for free, the employees would have to pay for our food themselves,” Hongtae wrote.

al007 Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 Very good deal normally have to pay more, but then only one Most restaurants give regulars 10% discount in any case Papillon lived on cockroaches, quite tasty and high in protein Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moti24 Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 "“The manager said the head of employees had recently received his title and didn’t quite know how to solve problems....." Typical Thai business strategy, always somebody elses fault! The manager needs to understand that the buck stops on his desk, and his staff are only as good as the training he's given them. How some of these guys keep their job for so long is a mystery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trogers Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 Should not even offer a discount. Just say that this is a fushion recipe of Thai-Chinese combo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MatteoBassini Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 lol, whoever is the owner of that restaurant is very greedy. Employees having to pay for it if the customer refuses because of a cockroach? Seriously? You make 100,000+ a month but can't fork out 500 baht? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gjoo888 Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 Having tried Chok Dee Dim Sum once, the cockroach is the least of the guy's problems. Disgusting food with or without cockroaches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlphMichaels Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 A bonus!! In fact, I doubt he accidentally deserved a steamed cockroach with his food. But I love the idea of seeing those little antennae moving about randomly as I lift the bamboo lid and stare into his eyes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juan B Tong Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 (edited) Cockroach Yum. Always had them roasted, steamed might be a little too mushy for me. Edited July 5, 2017 by Juan B Tong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dumbastheycome Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 Bogus! No way that if that is a real pic of the serving that any staff who delivered that to a table would not know it was there. Unless it was deliberate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
observer90210 Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 The answer could also have been something like: "well that shows that the roach has good taste, sir" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stargeezr Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 Yes the first thing the restaurant owners should do is fire this manager, who seems to have sh*t for brains. Wow! a whole 10 percent off, and a free choice of more food that may have another critter in it, How nice! Cheap Cheap restaurant. Geezer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quandow Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 I was at a motorbike shop in Pattaya getting the oil changed. While I was waiting, they mistakenly gave my helmet to a dirtball who stole it away. The shop, after realizing their mistake, offered me a 50% discount on a new helmet. TITS.

Dukeleto Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 If they are delivering them cooked with the dim sum, can you imagine walking back into the kitchen at night an hour after the lights have been off?The walls probably look like what Neo sees in the Matrix!!!
