Deli Diner

[arsenal]

I'm going to plug this one again. I had dinner there a few times recently. Roast pork with Dauphin potatoes, chicken escalope with mushroom sauce and salmon with dill sauce were all wonderful, The lasagne there is about as good as it gets. Baht for baht this restaurant is a match for any serving western food. What I particularly like is the total generosity that is served on the plate. They also have copies of The Daily Mail so a certain member from north of the border can sit there while eating a wonderful full ENGLISH breakfast and work himself up into a furious rage about,,,well, everything.

[Brad the Impala]

Fuck the food, the Daily Mail is poison, and I wouldn't go anywhere that thinks it's customers might want to read it!

3 courses for 299 baht. You could just look at the sports pages Brad.

[Chuai-Duai]

Bangkok? Pattaya? Where?

[francois]

Day-Night Plaza, Pattaya.

Walked by tonight and noticed that lasagna was on the menu and was tempted but kept on walking. Maybe next time.

[Chuai-Duai]

Thanks. Haven't visited that area for years.

[arsenal]

Chuai-Duai. It's a bit of a dining destination with about 6/7 nice places to choose from. Food wise DD is a cut above Le Petite Planete and Cuisine au Buerre.

[francois]

Arsenal, I would say Deli D is a cut below those other establishments. But each to his own.

[arsenal]

Francois: The Greek salad at DD was far superior to both PP and CaB. I've never seen Gratin Dauphinoise on the menu at the other two but at DD was executed superbly, as was the beetroot soup. And get yourself there for a bowl of Lasagne.

Well sorry to disagree my good friend 'francois' but having tried both Petite Planet and Deli Diner for Pork Loin/medallions last trip Feb/Mar, I found Deli superior in both taste and portion size, taste being the more important of the two for me. I also got a surprise at Deli Diner's breakfast offering. Not unless there has been as change of ownership.

After days of eating only Thai which I do love, and bf is good cook, I really crave western food. When staying at Mosaik last trip Feb/Mar most days I had a coffee at Deli and one day had a flick through the menu to find English breakfast, it just didn't look like the type of place which could do a decent western breakfast as I only ever saw Thais work there and in my mind no western influence, therefore I expected streaky bacon, frankfurter sausages so when I ordered a breakfast I asked them to ditch the sausages and beans which I never eat, as it looked like there were plenty of other offerings. I think the breakfast may have been as little as 99 baht but maybe 129bt whatever a huge bargain, anyway I received a huge breakfast plate with no beans but they had still served the sausages and to my surprise were nice pork sausages like home with lean back bacon, egg, tomato, potatoes, toast and coffee/juice included, all-in-all it was too much for me but very good.

There were other British dishes on the menu like Cottage Pie etc... and another customer did tell me he thought the owner was actually an Englishman from north/Yorkshire perhaps?...and so the reason for original british breakfast items and those in the main menu. Maybe someone can confirm this.

In my opinion who in their right mind travels thousands of miles to Asia surrounded by a different culture to pick up ANY uk newspaper/rag, personally I travel that distance to GET AWAY from all the things which remind me of 'home' 'euroland' 'Britain/Brexit' the exception being EuroBoys bar in Sunee....in name only of course.

I don't bother with 3 courses at the Pattaya eateries as it's way more than I need, I find one course perfectly sufficient. So try looking through the main menu and you'll find Pork Medallions/loin steaks with mash, nice veg and pepper/mushroom sauce and a big portion for Bt129 if I remember correctly, I buy individual rather than 'special' 3 course not really to save money but I rarely eat the sweet, might nibble starter so it's a waste. The individual dishes are very inexpensive and delicious..

[arsenal]

It's owned by an English guy and his Thai lady partner.

[scottish-guy]

English?

That explains the Daily Mail aka Der Sturmer

:D

[arsenal]

Well Scottish it ain't the English running around with a begging bowl. That's your lot in general and the ridiculous Sturgeon in particular. It pains me to see a great nation brought so low.

😭"Och, we cannae survive alone, we'll nay be able tae feed we're bairns. Who's gannae ta care a wee noo?"

✌Worry not. The English will continue look after Scotland.

When your back is bent and you depend on a stick, it's obviously hard to hold the camera at the right angle :eek:

[arsenal]

Nice one Founty. However I seem to recall MFAS rides a big fucking Harley or something similar often terrorising the coffin dodgers shuffling around Sunee before bed or death.
😅

[Manforallseasons]

Actually the pic was not right side up as to seperate it from the Thomas Cook, pics.

Oh! And which Thomas Cook pics did you post?

[Manforallseasons]

Founty what took you so long? Guess you were occupied.

[lonelywombat]

Chill out Wombie. Have a mince pie.

Just out of interest. Do you receive anything complimentary or do you have any financial interest whatsoever in Yupins. It's just that you post regularly on their behalf but I don't recall you writing about any other restaurant let alone posting their menu. As I said I do quite like your posts on this very popular eaterie.

Seemed to remember this post

[arsenal]

Wombie: Perhaps you've been on medication for a while. I have made it quite clear I am very well paid for all of my restaurant reviews. My charges are published on this website. Pip pip.

[Manforallseasons]

Went this evening with a friend who is a retired GP with the NHS he rather likes this place, my experience was mixed my mushroom soup was tastless but the lamb shank was spot on. The service is lacking as the only waitress was the rather young daughter of the owner. They got busy 2 customers left as they could no longer wait to be served.

[fountainhall]

A bit pathetic when you have to post sideways to gain attention!

[arsenal]

Fountainhall. Are you going to be like this every time MFAS posts anything?

[fountainhall]

That depends on MFAS! Childish posts tend to attract similarly childish responses!

PS: Funny how he usually posts perfectly normal posts over on gaybuttonthai. Something to do with not being permitted to post in the childish style he uses here :yahoo_mini:

[arsenal]

If you say so.

[Manforallseasons]

Is it worth another visit maybe......there is no shortage of restaurants in the area surrounding Tuck Com.....Deli Diner needs only to shorten its menu and add an add 1 extra staff and it would make a big difference.

[FarangRuMak]

MFAS's caution a bit over the top. Not many 1st timers bring along a GP.

Too true - so I hope you both wore condoms

No trip to Pattaya would be complete without a generous plug for DD. Grilled chicken salad was simple enough but nicely executed and well presented using quality fresh ingredients. Sea bass with bearnaise sauce is technically tricky to get right. The fish was moist and firm with a golden brown crispy skin. The bearnaise was rich and buttery with a perfect balance of acidity and tarragon. Served with boiled potatoes and fresh vegetables it was classical French cooking of top drawer. Star of the show was the apple crumble. Crunchy crumble and swet apples accompanied by a fresh custard and whipped cream. It tasted as good as it looks. For me, Deli Diner is the most consistent western restaurant in Pattaya continually over delivering on my expectations. Three courses is 299 baht.

Location. location location

[scottish-guy]

Anybody familiar with the kind of acronyms to be seen within profiles on gay dating sites can advise Len that he ought to quit abbreviating the name of the restaurant to DD - or at least put an F on the end.

[arsenal]

DD is located next to Tukom.

[joe552]

Front or backside? Sorry Len

[Chuai-Duai]

I like the look of that Apple Crumble. I'll might have to try it. Anything on the menu for a vegetarian?

[gerefan2]

Front or backside? Sorry Len

Just google it Joe. Youll find a map.

[pennyboy]

They used to have really nice starters there like gravlax but the last few times I have been there the starter choice is soup or salad.. I can understand they wish to keep the price at 299bt but I would prefer to pay a little more for a better starter.

[arsenal]

I would agree the starter choice was towards the cheaper end but the main and dessert weren't. This is a restaurant that definitely looks to offer value.

[Halfhansum]

And the Breakfast, at 99 Bt., is the best value in Pattaya that I have found ..
But I do wish they had kept the glass doors to the front, to Air condition the inside ..

[gerefan2]

Thanks for the recommendation arsenal. I just had the Weinerschnizel which was 10 times better than the one at Alt Heidelberg. Good recommendation ....

The full English breakfast is now 119b. However, you can get a small English breakfast for the same price of 99b

[Blacktouch]

Yes I can confirm the owner is English with a Thai wife and two children.

[arsenal]

For consistency it's the best western restaurant in Pattaya with interesting dishes rarely seen at other places.

That may work out better for me, as I struggled to finish the full English ..555

Have to say I was very disappointed with my Weiner schnitzel at Alt Heidelberg, it was very tasty... but I would easily have eaten twice what they served me!
Guess I should have gone to DD!

On the other hand I did enjoy watching the crowd go by on beach road at Alt Heidelberg

Particularly as the GP appears - looking at the photograph of the lamb - to have plunged an aortic stent into the centre of the dish!! Charming.

Brad, I think the Daily Mail has been banned in Thailand. All I get is this when attempting to read it, on any subject:

If you are referring to photo in post #22, that is what a lamb shank is supposed to look like.
