Re: FANTASTIC new regional Chinese restaurant in Pattaya!
My thoughts exactly a LONG time ago ! And do make up your mind, one minute I'm a yob for eating food you considered yobbish amongst many other high handed, pompous, insults you dished out about anyone who "obviously" didn't know anything about food and were obviously lesser mortals than your good self and now I'm a troll simply for not letting you away with it, I guess we'll never know eh.
Meanwhile I do wish your friends all the very best in their venture and if nothing else you've had a great opportunity to tell us all about them, their ethos, their menu and their quality so I'm sure any who wishes will perhaps give them a try - but the advert without the pomposity and judging of others at the start who were "obviously stupid" as they didnt "get it" eyc would I imagine have been much more effective perhaps. However I wish your friends well and if the foods as good as you say I'm sure they will do ok.
Enjoy your dinner, I'm off for a gravy chip before heading off to see my relatives in that trailer park as the food in San fran is SO much better I hear :-)
Re: FANTASTIC new regional Chinese restaurant in Pattaya!
People seem to have an obsession with talking about food these days..cause of all them tv cookery programes..they all think thier food critics......no wonder their are so many fat people in the world today ha ha
Re: FANTASTIC new regional Chinese restaurant in Pattaya!
Whatever. I AM a food critic, so deal with it.
I don't watch cooking programs but I do watch Kitchen Nightmares!
One thing that they do at Pao which is real unusual is serving dumplings and/or noodles in their authentic hot and sour soup (which I prefer spicier).
For example, their fantastic handmade thick and chewy Shanghai noodles or their stuffed Chinese ravioli with pork or chicken, or a large elegant wonton stuffed with shrimp. I had never heard of that treatment of hot and sour soup anywhere but the chefs tell me it is found in some places in Hong Kong, but again not even common there. In my view, it really works and I consider one of those hot and sour treatments with dumplings or noodles a must order there.
This is real Chinese flavor hot and sour soup, not the fake UK style hot and sour soup they serve at China Garden.
Re: FANTASTIC new regional Chinese restaurant in Pattaya!
The point is you were posing as if you knew something and it turns out you didn't. So yes I diss you for that. Someone sincere who is interested in learning about new foods gets my full respect!
Also, I know you're a troll, but seriously anyone who insists a good/real Chinese restaurant must sell chips and gravy is a moron. I don't think you actually believe that though, as you're obviously just a troll.
Re: FANTASTIC new regional Chinese restaurant in Pattaya!
So two questions.....
exactly where is this place and also do you know if anyone serves Bejing or Hong Kong Duck in Pattaya. All this talk about duck made me crave a Hong Kong style duck with pancakes etc and I don't want to have to go all the way to Bangkok to the Shangri-la.
Re: FANTASTIC new regional Chinese restaurant in Pattaya!
You can get Peking duck here:

Thousands of baht I'm sure.
Also at the Sechuan/Northern Chinese place on Soi Welcome Jomtien, order in advance. Also thousands of baht.
Pao is on Pattaya Klang, next door to Fascino pharmacy, north side, between 2nd and 3rd, further east than Leng Kee.
Not sure exactly what you mean by Hong Kong duck? Roast duck? Then Leng Kee.
Also good duck in 3rd road, east side at the Thai Chinese place also serving goose. To go there, turn left on 3rd from Pattaya Klang, head north and look for the first shop selling duck and goose on the right.

Ha ha are you KIDDING me now :-) I've been ripping the piss out of you ALL afternoon - from my very first post almost ( at least from the second you started doing the whole judgemental calling people "yobs" thing just as they don't eat what YOU consider good food - and no of COURSE I don't think "gravy chips" are proper Chinese food you eejit, that's the whole point, the more and more ridiculous I got in talking about microwaving the rice or having McDonalds and their chips in China or early bird vouchers etc etc you were so wrapped up in your own pomposity you couldn't even see you were being taking for a ride and the more you expressed just how smart you were and how thick anyone else was ( me in this case) although I think you got a few digs in at the lack of Sophistication ( you're favourite word it seems) of the Pattaya residents, or the "tired old bourgeois expectations" ( of someone you don't even know) or your possible over estimation of the sophistication ( there's that word again) of Pattaya's gay audience etc etc I intentionally just got more and more ridiculous as the day went on waiting for YOU at some point to "get it" that I was TOTALLY taking the piss out of you - not trolling - but taking the piss out of you - two very different things as you just continued to fuel the fire yourselve with your own high handed pomposity.
And for the record I make no claims to know anything about food other than I like eating it and you're insistence in carrying on full on debates with someone who's proposing putting gravy chips on menus and installing microwaves in such a place says more about your naivety and lack of any common sense to know when you're being had more than anything else perhaps.
Re: FANTASTIC new regional Chinese restaurant in Pattaya!
I obviously knew you were taking the piss didn't I? Read my posts again.

In my view, same difference. I knew you didn't believe that crap. You were just trying to rile me up. Translation: TROLL.
Re: FANTASTIC new regional Chinese restaurant in Pattaya!
yes, sure you did :-) Ok, whatever we're both getting so far off the topic (if we were ever on it :-) that we should stop rather than incur the rath of he who must be obeyed, I've said my bit and expressed my opinion and you have replied in kind whilst also getting your friends a lot of free advertising ( I think ) so all in all I guess we're both happy in the end.
Re: FANTASTIC new regional Chinese restaurant in Pattaya!
ah guys, don't stop now - this has been funnier than most TV I've seen. I think you make a great double act. :occasion9:
