Perhaps they can print the menu in Braille for you.

Well, lonely said they already cooked off 12 turkeys the day before he started the OP, and are cooking another 4 the following day. So they're cooking the turkeys off about 5 days in advance, will store them in the fridge until the day, then throw them under some heat lamps for you guys. I'd expect that from a school or hospital cafeteria, not a 3 star michelin chef who is charging 995 baht/plate.
I can taste the dryness from here.... yum!
have to agree 100% with cdnmatt, unaccetable, 5 day old turkey. Ive never rated this place as ive said before on an other thread. Far too many other good resturants around.
not necessarily singling out Yupins, but in Thailand the menu's promise of fresh crisp lettuce all too often turns out on the plate to be limp soggy strips of what could well be the waste from the Soylent Green factory, worthy only of a few Firestone raspberries!...with chopped iceberg lettuce...
....
Wow ... now there's a Michelin 3-star garnish if I've ever heard of one!
....
it is only by treating every single ingredient, no matter how humble with equal care and respect that a chef will attain 3 Michelin stars.

It amazes me that members think that a chef cooks a turkey on demand and does not do any preparation for demand at meal times.Originally Posted by cdnmatt
Pre cooking or partial cooking are necessary to meet demand. The comment from a reader that Yupins has 12 turkeys in a HUGE oven waiting for them to cook on Xmas Day caused me to chuckle.
I do not know what the bookings are for lunch,dinner and casual meals but the chef has to have the turkeys sliced ready for service and not all of that can be done on the same day.

No matter how you slice it lonely your reply is difficult to swallow!
No, they are not partially cooking them, or at least I sure hope they're not. If they are, then steer clear unless you want a case of severe food posioning for Christmas. Yeah, with drinks and tip if I'm spending say 1500 baht on a meal the chef is calling a one day "special", I would expect the food to be fresh, not a 5 day old dog chew.
There's tons of kitchens out there that can handle 16 full turkeys in one day, and if his can't, he shouldn't be offering it, There's tons of things he could have done instead. Rotiserrie (sp) the tukey instead, as there's those huge rotisserie machines all over the place in Thailand, and they make chickens and ducks tender as anything, so I'm sure he could have rented 2 or 3 units for the day. Offer a nice duck (and maybe lobster) entree as well, to help quell the demand for turkey. Instead of cooking the turkeys whole, cut them up first and offer a few different turkey dishes. Maybe try to rent a connisary (sp) kitchen, although probably impossible on Chrisstmas day.
Those suggestions aren't very traditional, but at least the food would have been fresh, instead of 5 day old turkey that the rest of us only use to make turkey soup because it's too dry to do anything else with.
