Searching for premium fish & chips in Bangkok.

Good means quality fish like Atlantic Cod, or Haddock or Pollack, not that cheap "Pacific Cod", or Panglosius trash fish.

Good means crispy batter in fresh, clean oil, no taste of old, over-used, burnt oil.

Good means comes with hand-cut chips, from fresh potatoes, not frozen, skinny, factory-made "fries".

Mushy peas would be nice.

With delivery in central Bangkok.

Willing to pay ... not expecting cheap price.

Is there any hope for this dream?

(Before posting this topic I searched and searched for "fish chips" on this forum.  Nothing found.  There are some "best of..." from searching on the web, but those appear to be paid advertising just pretending to be "recommendations".)

I will start:

I like to cook Gai pad med mamuang (chicken cashew). I add 15 chilis and make the chicken pieces a little bigger, soak first. Sometimes I can’t get the texture of the red peppers right. But nice!

Just curious because if theres a Thread or Forum for business owners i haven't found it yet....

If you don't feel up to posting on Publid Forum feel free to hit me up on a Private Message...

Does it warrant that description or not.? I haven't voluntarily eaten white bread for years due to, in my opinion, it tastes like a mix of sawdust and cotton wool. 

I have been curious about the w/w for a long time, just never got round to asking.

But it really is Connecticut 

New Haven specifically 

One street, Wooster St, has 4 of the best pizza places in all of the US(world) on one street

So instead of flying from NYC to Boston I rented a car and drove and stopped and did a mini pizza tour

Went to 2 places in New Haven and one in Meriden Connecticut 

All these places are around 100+ years and use coal fire ovens, which are no longer allowed to be built 

I decided to make a new topic about restaurant food. Sometimes your order is so good, you have to take a photo :) In this topic, we can share some of the good restaurant dishes we ate. Let’s show some photos and share information.

Ok, I will start. Steamed Sea bass from Bang Saen in Chonburi.

I decided to start making my own bread quite a few years ago, the idea came about when I'd go down to Big C or Makro to buy my weekly bread and find that they had sold out or the bread was a few days old or as hard as a house brick. So did some research on YouTube and tried many of the recipes and videos being shown, some worked and some were downright failures. However I came across a video called Bake with Jack and 'hey presto' never looked back since, he does a half hour video from start to finish on making a loaf, will add at the end of this waffle.

You may not get it just right the first time, but it is worth the perseverance, but I cannot emphasize enough how easy it is once you learn the necessary skill.

Most members will have the basic equipment which is the most important being a good set of scales, probably set you back 150 BAHT in Big C, using cups to measure the flour is not very accurate. A bowl and spoon for the mixing and of course a bog standard oven for the baking, you don't have to have bread tins as you can make baguettes or cob type bread. The only ingredients needed are flour (I use the Green Swan flour, about 35 BAHT), yeast, a 500 gram packet works out at 150 BAHT, water, salt and a dash of cooking oil. 

Kneeding by hand will take you 8 minutes but should you be lucky to own a Stand Mixer with a dough hook it only takes a couple of minutes and is foolproof. I have owned a bread making machine and IMO they are not very good and so I'll sit back now and await the flak from bread machine owners.😀

These are the loaves I made yesterday and the whole lot probably cost about 80 BAHT to make, they taste delicious and freeze very easily, this batch will last me about 2 weeks. I cure my own bacon too, just imagine a bacon butty all made by yourself. Happy baking.🍞🥖

I was told  by a Manager in Food Central that the company was redesigning the label.

I liked the beer because it only has 4.1% alcohol.

I do not like the the flavor of San Miguel Light.

Anybody have any info?

Thanks

Obviously with all the correct paperwork, how rich are the kids? 🤣😂

Things take forever with such a small work space. And getting down on the ground is not fun for me! Oh well!

If you haven't seen them before, here's some:

(image credit: https://cookpad.com/th/recipes/7987852-ปาทองโก-สตรไมใสแอมโมเนย )

They are very popular and really only for sale in the early mornings. For twenty Baht you can have a really big bag full, freshly cooked.

If you ever thought of making your own, there's a Thai youtube video here:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jXxK0fflpGw 

Until I started looking for an image of one, I hadn't realised there are a lot of other countries producing a very similar food:
China, Vietnam, Cambodia, Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Philippines, Brunei, Myanmar, Thailand and Taiwan. It originates from China.

Then I came to Thailand in 2002, My girlfriend at the time bought me this plastic bag with slices of pineapple and a bamboo stick in it. I looked at it and said no thanks, because I was used to the bitter taste of Aussie pineapples, She said, "Eat it,It's good for your body" So I did.

Wholly cow, the pineapple in Thailand is the most juicy and sweet pineapple I have ever tasted, the plastic bag it was in had a couple of mouthfulls of juice to wash it down too.

The Thai sweet pineapple that we can buy for 10-20 baht each, on the side of the road. sliced up for you on the spot, is worth a trip alone.

Mint seems to ask questions, know more, and has better opinions on the food than Mark. Seeing her drop down into a circle of local women stuffing frogs and joining in is, I think, a perfect example of what she does and Mark can't. 

But during one of Mints (sponsored I think) vids she mentions a food (tour?) App called 'retty' and in it the tour guide does a fantastic job discussing the food - better than Mint :-) 

But Retty appears to be aimed at the Thai language / local market (all I could find was all in Thai) but that's what I am looking for - local foodies who have lots of great opinions, but maybe not the subs or view counts of Mark, Mint or other 'famous' vloggers. It doesn't have to be in English but subs or auto-translate is nice ;-) 

Any recommendations?
