thaibebop Posted December 8, 2005 Share Posted December 8, 2005 Couldn't eat something like that in the States, it'd kill ya. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soph Posted December 8, 2005 Author Share Posted December 8, 2005 Yep I know, "who at all the pies" and all that. But what my usual trend is to find something I really like, eat it every day for a few weeks, then go off it completely and never eat it again. So im not too worried about getting fat just yet!!!

suegha Posted December 8, 2005 Share Posted December 8, 2005 I know nobody really cares - when they like something, they like something! However, if you knew what goes into pies you'd never eat one again!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

suegha Posted December 8, 2005 Share Posted December 8, 2005 Pies have always been the rubbish bin of the catering world - I don't know about these exact pies! Most pies will have the poorest ingredients possible, too poor to use in any other dish. Also they are usually packed with fat, that's what makes them so tasty, this coupled with high sugar and salt contents means you are on an unhealthy snack. However, that's the good quality pies! The really bad ones are packed with artificial colours and flavorings. Also it's not just the ingredients inside the pies, the pastry is a storage zone for all sorts of nastys. If you really like pies think about making them yourself at home then you can use the best possible ingredients. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ProfessorFart Posted December 11, 2005 Share Posted December 11, 2005 7-11 junk food is probably the best beer food around!! I love those Pizza Roller things when inibreiated. Sober I wouldn't touch one with a bargepole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suegha Posted December 12, 2005 Share Posted December 12, 2005 Funny how a few beers really changes how you view food. I'm usually very careful about what I eat but with a few beers I become danger man... More chilli and garlic sauce on my kebab please... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firefan Posted December 13, 2005 Share Posted December 13, 2005 The 7-11 "chicken steak burger" is also not too bad - not the chicken burger mind you as too synthetic. The chicken steak is an actual chicken breast - and I take of the skin after it has been nuked to cut down on the fat and fill on as much of the salad bar as can fit into the paper holder (Thai style - he,he) and all that for 30 Baht. Resonably healthly (stay away from the mayo - but ketchup/chili is ok) too. Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ProfessorFart Posted December 14, 2005 Share Posted December 14, 2005 I can't believe theres a thread discussing the merits of junk food in western style Thai convienience stores going on here. Just shows that you can not beat the stuff! I used to like the pizza slices a few years ago. They came back recently to family mart but for some reason they put mayonnaise in them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazza Posted January 1, 2006 Share Posted January 1, 2006 I made a new discover the other day in 7 11 - those pies that spin round in the cage - tuna (the best) chicken or pineapple.They are yummy, I have one every day now which is really bad as im sure they will make you very fat Doesn't it bug you that all the filling is always in one half of the pie? It bugs the heck out of me. I'll be buying some more again tomorrow to see if they still bug me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spit the Dog Posted January 3, 2006 Share Posted January 3, 2006 (edited) I made a new discover the other day in 7 11 - those pies that spin round in the cage - tuna (the best) chicken or pineapple.They are yummy, I have one every day now which is really bad as im sure they will make you very fat <{POST_SNAPBACK}> It reminds me of when I first arrived in Thailand. I turned up here with just a bag of clothes and was living up in the Wang Hin area of Bangkok. I couldn't speak much Thai and I didn't know what any of the Thai dishes were. So basically, for the first 3 months that I was in Thailand, I lived off 7 Eleven or Family Mart food and khao phat gai because that was the only Thai dish that I knew.
