Re: FANTASTIC new regional Chinese restaurant in Pattaya!
They are currently offering three sweet and sour dishes.
Chicken.
Fish.
Ribs.
Sweet and sour dishes are actually Chinese food although that doesn't mean the UK version is authentic.
They also offer some Hong Kong style curry dishes.
Chicken
Beef
Mutton
Lamb
They won't be doing gravy and chips.
Trust me on that and stop your silly trolling. You wouldn't go there anyway. You're just having a laugh and it is tiresome.

Real food critics like Anthony Bourdain extol the virtues of peasant foods as the standard for good food. Here is a very small sampling from menu of my local peasant Cantonese restaurant (I live just outside Guangzhou - Canton is the English name - the home of Cantonese cooking which is Hong Kong cooking).
Pig tripe 25
Pig ears with chili 20
Pig chitterlings 20
Fried shredded pig hearts 20
Fried shredded pig tongues 20
Braised pig knuckles 20
Stir-fried pork livers 20
Quick-fried pork intestines 20
Fried chicken giblets with sour beans 20
Dog meat hot pot 65
Five spices dog meat pot 25
Does the restaurant serve anything like the items listed above? I would not eat there if I can not get real cantonse cooking.
Re: FANTASTIC new regional Chinese restaurant in Pattaya!
First of all, they aren't a Cantonese restaurant.
Mainly their items are: Hong Kong, Shanghai, Beijing, a little bit Sechuan-ish
Yes I understand Chinese eat everything and are really into textures that Westerners aren't into so much.
Anyway, all they've got that's a bit "challenging" are Shanghai chicken wings marinated in good rice wine (maybe the only place in Pattaya) at 80 baht and they sometimes stock salt and pepper Chicken feet but it's not on the menu anymore but can probably be done by advance order.
The truth is only Chinese customers and me actually ever order even the Shanghai chicken wings ... This is Pattaya.
The core specialty of the place is handmade noodles and dumplings. I wouldn't be surprised if their pan fried beef pies with soup inside aren't the best in Thailand and would compete as top rate in Hong Kong.
Does any other restaurant in Thailand do handmade thick noodles in hot and sour soup? I think not. The chefs tell me this is found at some places in Hong Kong. I had never seen it anywhere before. It's a great concept, a must try.
This is what is so bizarre to me. This place is without a doubt the best Chinese food find in the history of Pattaya yet the people here are so unsophisticated they don't even realize what they have.
As I've said before, it can be argued Pattaya doesn't deserve restaurants this good if the people are too stupid to realize what they've got.
Enjoy your Carls Jr., yahoos!

You say this is regional chinese cooking, the owners and fry cooks are from Hong Kong you are saying the food is not cantonese? are you sure you know what you are talking about? if the owners and fry cooks are from Hong Kong then it is cantonese cooking. They should be able to cook up some of the dishes I listed if they are authentic regional chinese cooking...cantonese style cooking.
We do not have a carl's jr in guangzhou. Do you think we need one? The locals seem to really like their own food. I am not sure a carl's jr would be able to compete with real cantonese cooking.
Re: FANTASTIC new regional Chinese restaurant in Pattaya!
Those items aren't on their menu. If they were, I doubt they would sell in Pattaya. Enjoy your time in China. Good day.

For a nation which is prepared to eat deep-fried cockroaches and maggots, it seems a little strange that they would turn their nose up at the Alsatian Hot Pot.

Re: FANTASTIC new regional Chinese restaurant in Pattaya!
this is getting to the stage of flogging a dead horse (which I'm assured is not on the menu). can we not just drop it? if anyone besides Narakmak has been to this place, it would be interesting to read a review, but really, who gives a shit? :dontknow:

Indeed, Wilde one.
I just want to make sure that IF anyone actually ever bothers to go there that they have some good suggestions about the better things to order so that they'll grow to be as enamored by the wonderful cooking at Pao as I am. It's all about sharing the goodness. :kermit:
