But a lot of us are at home here , not on holiday. Sure, if you are only here a few weeks or months then might as well try something else but when you live here full time there comes a day when Pad Grapow with an egg on top is no longer exotic and you fancy something different. I used to really like Dtom Yam goong soup but made the mistake of ODing on it and now very rarely eat it. Even Thais often avoid spicy food in the morning and will go for something like Khao Dtom or Khao neeo moo ping. Only sort of Thai thing I like in the morning is Patango but have to be carefull not to pig out on them. Not really Thai food but Thais like them 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really Thai food but Thais like them Agree totally, Patango I like with a coffee sometimes as a breakfast snack, originated from China I believe? Yes Thai food when you've been here a long time can become rather boring everyday. The usual street fayre can become monotonous... most Thais I know are 100% Thai and shrink away from anything different.. except Pizza or similar. I can give up the full breakfast heart attack menu but would kill for a Sunday roast or even some really good fish & chips... my neck-o-the-woods both are not available, no oven makes the roast impossible and the fish just doesn't match up to a nice piece of cod or haddock with the smell of salt n vinegar!. Have a great Sunday... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post ChipButty Posted August 23, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted August 23, 2020 When you have lived here a long time then Thai food all the time becomes boring we do a lot of cooking at home and my wife is pretty good at Italian food and home made bread. We tend to make things you can't get around here and if you can it's garbage Liver and Onions with chips and peas and gravy 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My brother & his missus are a case in point... two of the most difficult eaters alive. #62 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burma Bill Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 Along with Branston, marmite, OXO (as previously mentioned) and many other British food products, I came across this marmalade on display in a large supermarket here in Siem Reap - reminded me of my childhood days eating this and drinking their juice:- 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not so hard to make homemade jam I guess if I wanted to, but as for OXO cubes and Branston go well it's got to be original, shame my Local Big C doesn't sell any hard cheese... can you believe that?

I had an idea . Could everyone post up photos of their fry up and I will do a TVF poll to select the best fry up in Thailand . So, every fry up eater who hasn't posted up a photo already, please do so if you want to be included Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sharksy Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 Best English breakfast in Phuket? Yorkshire Hotel on Soi Sansibar would be hard to beat. Not cheap, but good food. Had a great English breakfast in Khon Kaen last year, just round the corner from the Pulman Hotel. Owner gets the bacon from a guy who cures the bacon in Thailand, rather than import it. Stunning.
