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.

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:

I have yet to find proof for humans eating cockroaches. Apart from that, there is a saying: Chinese eat everything that has four legs, apart from chairs and tables; and everything that flies, apart from airplanes. Or a version by a Chinese friend from Malaysia: Chinese eat everything that has its back to the sky.

People definitely eat roaches. Probably not as a first choice!

Funny you mention horse meat. I was on my moto the othe day and drove by a group of people who had just killed a horse and they were starting to butcher it.....aparently horse is a local delicacy in that village.
If our resident food critic, expert, snob, and all around fuckwhit were less of a cunt I might acutally try the place he recommended.

If you are so fucking smart is it that difficult to figure out I was riding my moto through a chinese village near guangdong where I spotted a group of peasants who had just whacked the fuck out of a horse and were starting to cut the thing up for consumption in the local restaurants? Do you lack imagination? ...as well as being a fuckwhit?
If you were not such a twat, on my next trip to pattaya, I might visit the restaurant you recommended.
I honestly think you do more damage than good by recommending a place then being such a cunt about it.

As I said if you were not such a cunt I suspect people would be more amenable to your suggestion.
I certainly would have been interested in making the trip there but not after you posted insults because people are not as worthy of good food as you are worthy.
Hurting myself? How the fuck would I be hurting myself? You are making so many assumptions about what I think and my values....that is what makes you a cunt....that and you are humorless IMHO.
-
Re: FANTASTIC new regional Chinese restaurant in Pattaya!
Dude, it is frustrating for me to see sincere talented chefs struggle when so many crappy tourist trap restaurants thrive. Yes those are my values. I don't expect you to share them. But if this place doesn't make it for lack of custom, yes I will blame it on the lack of sophistication in the Pattaya market. My opinion and my passionate feelings only which I am entitled to. Kitty, you call me obnoxious, but you areperhaps the most insipidly rude poster I have encountered on any forum ... ever.
I'd like to add that yes I do hope all the locals give Pao a chance and suggest you try some of the suggested items because if you only go once and don't order their best items (most are very good, a few are not so great) you might not get a fair impression, in the case of Kitty I actually hope she keeps her promise and never goes because I wouldn't want to chance the unpleasantness of actually having to be in the same room of such a negative bitch.

Re: FANTASTIC new regional Chinese restaurant in Pattaya!
I think because of all the wind ups and things, Nak doesn't realize that instead of helping a place that he enjoys that he is actually hurting it and turning potential customers away. That's unfortunate and I would hope that some of our board members look past this and give the place a try.
Nak, you are incorrect there guy. If the place doesn't make it, it may well be because you have turned so many people OFF the place. And with this we will give it a rest, yes?

How would people even KNOW about it? If people don't go there because they find me obnoxious they are indeed superficial fools.
Also don't flatter yourself. How many locals actually read your board? 100? And mostly yahoos who wouldn't know authentic Chinese food if you threw it in their face. English breakfasts? Give me a break. The truth is the chefs probably picked the wrong city for their place. They are indeed operating at above the level of the locals here. That's the shame.

Re: FANTASTIC new regional Chinese restaurant in Pattaya!
Just close the thread then. People here just don't care and that's OK with me, but don't you dare blame me for the local's lack of sophistication. You'd have to be a total moron not to try out someplace you actually wanted to try just because you don't like the style of someone who is talking about it.

I love chinese food. Explain to me how I am hurting myself by not going to the restaurant you recommended?
Your reasoning seems to be that everyone needs to do what you tell them to do....
-
Re: FANTASTIC new regional Chinese restaurant in Pattaya!
My reasoning is that I don't give a flying puck whether you go to Pao or not. (Actually I hope you do not; they need the business but probably not THAT badly.) Folks (not Kitty) if you like Chinese food, I suggest Pao. There she blows. Nobody needs to go to Pao. I hope people (other than Kitty ... no dumplings for you!) go so that they can appreciate something I believe to be exceptional for Pattaya (some dishes would even rate in San Francisco) as I do want this small business to survive for the sake of the owners (who are very charming hard working people) and for my own self interest as well (as I love the food there). :sign12:
Whether I am a "cunt" or not is not the issue here.
Again, Kitty, I beg of you, I implore you, please do NOT go to Pao!
-
Re: FANTASTIC new regional Chinese restaurant in Pattaya!
I will not go. glad you understand that people are not required to obey you.
being a cunt is part of the issue
.
-
Re: FANTASTIC new regional Chinese restaurant in Pattaya!
I am so relieved. They will miss out on your 70 baht order. How to cope? How to cope? I will tell the chefs and I reckon they will break open a bottle of champagne. They really like champagne. :party :party
Of course, people are not required to obey me. How absurd to suggest that I ever thought that.
BTW: I ORDER YOU NEVER TO ENTER THE DOORS AT PAO! THAT'S A COMMAND! :munky2:
-
Re: FANTASTIC new regional Chinese restaurant in Pattaya!
So that's kitty banned it seems and I've already made it clear that I won't be going until they start selling "proper" Chinese food such as my universally loved gravy chips, so so far it looks like its a table for one still for you - which judging by the arrogant, elitist attitude you displayed throughout this thread I'm guessing is a fairly regular scenario for you anyway but one which I'm guessing you're quite happy about as I'm guessing yuu think there's no one of a high enough calibre in life to join you anyway, which considering as Kitty quite righty says you come across as a total cunt is not surprising - however I would temper his remarks as some would say that a cunt is in fact a useful thing whereas you sir (at least when it comes to promoting restaurants anyway) most definitely are not, as so far I'm guessing your reviews are nothing but a kiss of death to your beloved limited menu chinese cafe.
-
Re: FANTASTIC new regional Chinese restaurant in Pattaya!
You're not fooling anyone. You don't live here. Your whole gravy and chips thing is just troll baiting. It is true, I'm not very impressed with the sophistication of the crowd here. If that makes me a cunt, stick it in, I might enjoy it.
-
Re: FANTASTIC new regional Chinese restaurant in Pattaya!
Are you mental, I have never said I live "here" ( I assume you mean pattaya) - however if you like I'll see you in about three hours anywhere you'd like in pattaya ( as I'm in bkk today) and then you can eat your words in person ? Or maybe you'd like to call to my hotel ( tarntawan ) and speak to me personally then you can tell me where you THINK I am, what is that old saying about one should never assume as it makes an ass out of you etc, I think it's quite fitting in this case for you. And for your information I do like gravy chips why is that such a hard concept to grasp for you, I believe many millions of other people also share my enjoyment of same so have you ever thought that perhaps its YOU who is out of step with current eating trends which for you claiming to be an international aclaimed food critic is something I would have thought you should have been up on instead of recommending places with limited menus, limited opening hours, slow service ( due to them not even having a microwave) and worst of all not supplying what their probable customer base actually want. First rule of business - give the customer what he wants otherwise you're sure to fail - and with your food critic "help" I fear that's where your friends might head :-(
And as for sticking anything anywhere, please, even I wouldn't stoop that low and that's saying something !
-
Re: FANTASTIC new regional Chinese restaurant in Pattaya!
They do have a microwave.
You can get gravy and chips other places such as Jolly Friar.
Doesn't sound like you live here.
This place would hurt their brand by stooping to offering British food at their Chinese restaurant.
Go somewhere else, why don't you?
Anyway, I know you're a troll.
-
Re: FANTASTIC new regional Chinese restaurant in Pattaya!
BRILLIANT NEWS !! They now have a microwave ! Sure that was one of my very suggestions to help them speed things up and you were so high and mighty that you said the place would never stoop to such low levels as using a microwave, this is excellent news as it at least shows they unlike you are able to admit they might be wrong and were open to suggestion, excellent news, please pass on my congratulations to the owners for listening to me.
And can I take your " well it doesn't sound like you here" to be as close as you can come to actually managing to admit you were wrong and I am in fact in bkk at this very minute and was in pattaya for the last three weeks or are you still going to flog that horse for a bit longer and make yourself look even more foolish perhaps - up to you, as I said if you're THAT convinced I'm not "here" then pop down to bkk tonight where you can pay my obviously imaginary bar bill for me a few friends and maybe that will convince you where I am or not.
And if you read any of my other posts you will see I am no troll, just merely quite happy to keep setting you up in alloeing you to display your own arrogance and ignorance towards the good citizens of Pattaya who "obviously" are beneath you as you keep pointing out so often.
So, see you in telephone bar later then to pay my bar bill ?? - oh they also do food so perhaps you could give us all a quick review while you're there - no on second thoughts better not as I like that bar and I'd hate one of your "reviews" to close it !

Re: FANTASTIC new regional Chinese restaurant in Pattaya!
I never said they don't have a microwave. Their dumplings, noodles, and stir fries are all freshly made to order but they use the wave to heat up some prepared things like their curries, marinated ribs I think, etc.
I also never said they are the best restaurant in the world as obviously such a place wouldn't have a microwave and it wouldn't be in lowbrow Pattaya.
I am saying some of their dishes are world class.
As I said, you don't LIVE here. It's OK that you don't, but the reality is the potential core for Pao would be expats and Chinese tourists. TOURISTS like you mostly go for Thai food and also their home country food (widely available, you do not need Pao for that).
Stop trolling. It's tedious.
Why do you care at all about this place anyway? I can assure they will never have your chips w/ gravy and I know you know perfectly well there are plenty of places selling that crap food all over Bangkok and Pattaya anyway. Nobody needs an authentic Chinese restaurant to serve such garbage. It's just your troll game. You are fooling nobody.
You are only here to wind me up. Who is the CUNT here exactly? I care about something real here. You care to play stupid childish troll games, again and again.
Look, it is clear to me that this forum is mostly for gay sex tourists and has very few local resident expats. A place like Pao needs a core of resident expats and of course some tourists. The tourists they get are mostly from China, Russia, and Korea. They don't get many western tourists but they do get western (and Chinese) expats. Understandably this board isn't a great place to suggest Pao as most of you are western sex TOURISTS. Not knocking western gay sex tourists; just don't think you are a great market for what Pao is doing and it also isn't located in your special sex ghettos.
As far as I'm concerned, this thread should be closed but if not, I'll reply to further expected troll attacks.

Re: FANTASTIC new regional Chinese restaurant in Pattaya!
:occasion5: "Who is the cunt here ?"
Well I'm quite prepared to put that to the vote if you are - not that you'd care if the vote came down against you as you're that arrogant you'd probably just say we were all to stupid to know what we are talking about anyway and dismiss our opinion like you have with just about everyone else in this thread over the months, I find it hard to believe someone can be so blind to their own arrogance and rudeness and my trolling as you call it is and was me simply setting you up to see just how far your arrogance would take you - and you managed to excel and even out do yourself yourself over and over again.
Don't you get it, we all probably accept your restauant serves nice food ( even though me bring a gravy chip man couldn't POSSIBLY know what good food is of course as you've stated so arrogantly before) but can't you see in your blind arrogance and defending YOUR sole and single opinion you probably did more damage than good to your favourite eateries reputation, several people tried to point that out to you on several occassionally and give you an "out" to stop but your own arrogance wouldn't let you and you always had to have the last high handed, usually insulting word, so if any damage has been done is not by my asking as what started as a joke "do they do gravy chips" but your own total and absolute lack of any grace in your replies to people or your high handed attitude in judging people you don't know, whether here on the board or the entire populace of Pattaya in one fell swoop - and if you can't see how that might be offensive to people then I rest my case on the whole arrogance issue - either that or you're just plain thick !
So cunt you or I, I'll happily let others make up their own minds on that but unlike you I would actually care in this case what their opinion was perhaps.
Ps whilst I'm not going to bother searching the posts you did say they wouldn't have a microwave about the place or words to that effect as we suggested it to speed up service (as a further joke and to see if you feel for it) and you do did and went off on a rant about such a place would NEVER use microwaves etc etc, but I am somewhat concerned to read that you ate now telling us they are actually using them to heat their curries etc and these arent evrn prepared fresh now you tell us, just how lazy is that !! :-(

Re: FANTASTIC new regional Chinese restaurant in Pattaya!
I never said they don't have a microwave. I wish they didn't, but they do. It's usually a bad sign. But like I said not everything there is world class. Just some things.
Again, I can live with being thought a cunt so I really don't care.
Yes I reckon I would win a cunt poll contest so I concede that. Why would I care? This board is like a pack of hyenas anyway.
I do care about Chinese food though.
Yes I do get why people would think I'm a cunt and I do get why people would think I'm a bit of a food snob. I am rather a food snob. As I'm not British I don't think about whether I am a cunt or not. Perhaps I am. Not so sure that's such a bad thing to be, as Brits are always calling each other cunts, it must be very popular, like chips and gravy.
Cheers.
-
Re: FANTASTIC new regional Chinese restaurant in Pattaya!
Well, I'm glad we've finally managed to agree on somethings i.e in that you are by your own admission a cunt and also ( more importantly) that chips and gravy are indeed very popular !! I consider this last fact to be great progress in the hope that your restaurant friends may now also grasp this fact and embrace this popular dish to a revised menu :-)
Cheers.
