thaigerd Posted June 18, 2007 Share Posted June 18, 2007 Just finished our dinner: Roasted chicken and french fries, yummy yummy! 2 Chicken from TOPS in CENTRAL, marinated with salt, pepper and paprika powder(noble sweet), about 1 hour roasted in the oven, 1 bag of frozen fr fries, 2 can of Coke= 220.-Baht for wife, me and our dogs and all are happy. Ok, you cannot compare with Corkscrew's Oyster and wine session but we could not go to the Oriental or Dusit dressed in underwear and T-shirt with 3 dogs and say:" A table for 5 please and our budget is 220.-Baht.........".

leisurely Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 Did you cook the chickens yourself? I sometimes buy the ready roasted ones, they are OK, but so small you virtually need one each. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sceadugenga Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 I'm not a fan of the supermarket ready roasted, they tend to be really greasy with too much garlic cooked into them. My Mrs loves them though. Roasting yourself is the way to go, I usually put some potato wedges and onions in the same pan, drizzle a little on them then a dust of salt and pepper. I seem to recall a whole fresh chicken being a bout 60 baht at Big C Jet. You can boil them in a big pot with the veg as well, then make soup of the liquid the next day. Cuts the fat right down.

As a Chef I don;t buy ready roasted ones for sure. Gerd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leisurely Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 I don't blame you for that. The only problem I have with the chickens if I get them whole is the head feet and occasionally guts thing. I am afraid I am the sanitised food sort ofperson, I would never dream of eating pigs tubes or uterus'. On occasion I pop into the thai food forum, inevitably I come away feeling a bit nauseous. Different strokes for different folks though, ourhome help turns green when I have a lump of cheese Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jet Gorgon Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 Ah, I remember buying whole filets of beef at the market. Cut up steaks and about Bt30 for each. Bt60 for a chickie, Scea? Ya, about right. I'm like Gerd, always bought meat at the wet market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
