Urban dictionary quote "Dim Sim
A small parcel of meat and vegetables, wrapped in a type of pastry. Can be deep fried or steamed. Often served with soy sauce. Common in Australian Fish & Chip shops. Rumoured to contain chopped up cat, but never proven."
hehehe
"An asian person who isn't very bright hence calling them Dim Sim.
Your just a dim sim!
Your such a dim sim, you don't even know what country your from!
Oh my God, you dim sim, can't you tell the difference between left or right!
You freakin' dim sim, learn to sms properly!"

maybe because of the rope learning?
Re: King Royal Garden Inn
I've always found "Western" breakfasts in Bangkok hotels and restaurants to be a waste of money. You get an over-cooked (ie. brittle) tiny rasher of bacon an a runny egg or two, with gut-rotting white bread toast. And why the Thais imagine that a butter knife is used to spread butter on one's toast completely eludes me. The point of the butter knife, since it is often shared, is to avoid using your own knife to slice pieces off butter. Especially if you are in the midst of eating and have used your knife to cut other parts of your dinner, using your personal knife to cut butter is a faux pas. A butter knife is used to cut a personal serve of butter from the common butter and move it to one's own plate. A standard knife is then use to move the butter from the plate to the bread. People are really so common these days.

Re: King Royal Garden Inn
not to further derail this thread, but the quality of breakfast really depends on where you stay.
It's been my experience that places like le Meridien or the Sukhothai have fantastic Western breakfasts. These days I usually stay at Siri Sathorn. Breakfast there is good but not the greatest.
Re: King Royal Garden Inn
Fedssocr... Agree with what you say but those places you mention are 5-star hotels. They have to supply a quality Western breakfast or else...
Most Western breakfast complaints are to do with the mid-market and budget hotels.

That's arguable, beachlover. I breakfasted recently with a friend at Imperial Queens Park near me on Sukhumvit which would regard itself as 5-star and the Eggs Benedict was execrable - hard eggs, brown cheese, white bread (should be a muffin or similar) and worst of all, french fries. The hotel couldn't understand the problem! The dining room has been going downhill a lot recently and even your fellow Australians at Quaintarse have given up using it as their crew dormitory in Bangkok.
