Yamato Posted February 12, 2019 Author Share Posted February 12, 2019 A colleague brought me to a countryside restaurant for lunch this afternoon, its simple.

Yamato Posted February 22, 2019 Author Share Posted February 22, 2019 In Thailand the Burger King seems to be rediculously expensive, went to a restaurant to have a quick fix a few nights ago. How are prices of Burger King in Singapore compared to the other fast food? Menu and price My simple meal consists of a double cheese burger and a regular fried and free water 226 baht is $9.40 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yamato Posted March 3, 2019 Author Share Posted March 3, 2019 It takes a local to bring you to a very local place like this if not, especially as a foreigner, one will never know. I was suggesting to a local (as in Pattaya) fellow Singaporean to have a light dinner at my favourite Thai khao tum (boiled rice) place, Chok Anand, where they serve plain khao tum (boiled rice) order many different Thai/Chinese dishes which will be freshly cooked. This type of food is similar to Teochew porridge except most of the dishes will be freshly cooked. Its a funny name, restaurant up in the north of Pattaya in a place known as Naklua The shop front Inside sitting with cover Outside sitting at the back of the restaurant Minced pork fry with chinese olives Braised duck Glass noodle with seafood yam (salad) Stir fry vegetables Clams stir fry with herbs Salted egg yam (salad) Omelette Seabass fry with fish sauce The meal The kitchen Chief chef Meal costs 1,005 baht or $44 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yamato Posted March 4, 2019 Author Share Posted March 4, 2019 Japan's discount king Don Quijote makes splash in Thai debutCheap prices and flashy displays lure crowds to maverick retail chainMARIMI KISHIMOTO, Nikkei staff writer March 03, 2019 03:49 JST BANGKOK -- Hundreds of shoppers queued for the opening of Japanese discount chain Don Quijote's first Thai store in Bangkok late last month, eager to experience the outlet's eye-popping array of items, from cosmetics and clothes to appliances and toys. "I visited [Don Quijote] when I traveled to Japan, and I'm really happy they've opened a store in Bangkok," said 42-year-old Boonyanuch Buaban as she waited in line. Don Don Donki, as the store is called in Thailand, is among more than 30 other tenants at Donki Mall Thonglor, a shopping complex launched on Feb. 22 by Pan Pacific International Holdings, operator of the Don Quijote chain. The store is a carbon copy of its namesake in Japan, complete with the Don Quijote theme song blaring nonstop, products piled high in unexpected locations, and in-your-face displays. When news of the outlet broke in 2017, a local newspaper hyped it as a "long-awaited opening." The buzz surrounding the store has been generated mainly by tourists returning from Japan, which has become a popular destination for Thais and other Southeast Asians. Don Quijote stores in Japan are now a must-go for souvenir shopping thanks to the variety of products, cheap prices and late hours. In particular, the stores stock everyday Japanese items favored by foreign visitors. At a news conference in Thailand, Koji Ohara, president and CEO of Tokyo-listed parent Pan Pacific International Holdings, said he wanted to make the store Bangkok's "most entertaining" attraction while offering "the lowest prices." "We plan to keep prices as low as in Japan -- 50% higher would be the highest we might go," Ohara said. However, tariffs and distribution costs make cost-cutting difficult. Purchasing fresh foods directly from local producers could help lower the cost, according to Ohara. Donki Mall Thonglor -- which Don Don Donki anchors -- is designed to be a "comprehensive amusement mall" for families and young people. In mid-March, it will open a limited-run theme park featuring costumed mascots, among them Hello Kitty and other products from Japan's Sanrio. Don Quijote's Thai debut comes as Pan Pacific's Japanese operations sag. Same-store sales fell 1.2% in December -- the first decline in 28 months -- followed by a 0.3% dip in January. The company attributes the consecutive-month fall to the shrinking number of Japanese shoppers. To make up for this Pan Pacific is looking overseas, with plans to eventually operate about 200 stores in the U.S. and Asia outside Japan. The company wants its foreign operations to account for about 30% of total revenue from the current 10%. Pan Pacific launched its first branch in Singapore in December 2017 and has since opened two more.

Yamato Posted March 5, 2019 Author Share Posted March 5, 2019 Found a hidden noodle shop, you will not expect a noodle shop to be in such a secluded place if not for the line of cars parked at the roadside. Was told the shop will be full at lunch time. So this is breakfast I ordered tomyam soup noodle. Tomyam soup noodle is actually using the same soup as the normal fishball noodle so there is only 1 soup. But when you ask for tomyam they will add lime and crushed peanuts into it sometimes even some evaporated type of milk to make it whitish like tomyam with coconut. Ordered the very soft Thai noodle we call it sen-lek. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
