Coss Posted June 5, 2015 Report Share Posted June 5, 2015 If Love Scene is the one I think it is, I have less fond experiences. As an experimental diner, excited about untried and unknown delicacies, I'd eaten many strange and interesting meals in Bangkok, I then went to Cambo. I promptly had an illness, which consisted of the inside of my body, leaving through my two major orifices, over a period of several days in the hotel bathroom. Coincidentally, I was feeling like death at the time, I am sure there is some connection. I had no idea, what had caused this illness and when the lovely hotel receptionist at the Hotel California of old, had nursed me back to health, I returned to Bangkok and Love Scene, to unwittingly confirm the source of my ailment. For a second time I was confined to the hotel bathroom for three days. But this time I knew, it was the Duck Tongues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radioman Posted June 6, 2015 Report Share Posted June 6, 2015 I have a mildly tangential connection to LS. My GF roomed with the older woman who is a sort of superviser/manager/mamasan there. They're still neighbours so I get to see/hear a little of what goes on there and we do still drop in from time to time. They have an odd assortment of staff, all pretty much available for take out though if you would really want to is another matter. The food I always found variable. Nothing special in any way but mostly edible. I'd stay away from the exotica of such things like Duck tongue, with cooks (can't call them chefs) brought up on noodle soup and phad thai, anything more is going to be risky. The steamed crab can be nice, if fresh, though pricey there. The cashier girl always struck me as a cutie, not pretty in the traditional sense but cute and a smile that says she could be quite the wicked one. I believe she's not available however.

Specialist Posted June 6, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2015 I've never had a problem with the Duck Tongues there. I know a couple of girls who like them. I've had them twice: they're a novelty, but not something I'd likely make a staple. Yam hoi kraeng, now: I surprised the heck out of one girl there when I ordered it one night. She hasn't quite grasped the concept that farangs who like Thai food even exist, much less that there are farangs who like spicy Thai food. (Mega-kudos to the girl who introduced me to yam hoi kraeng!) I did have a problem once there that I suspect was a bad oyster. My own fault: the doctors at Bumrungrad have warned me more than once to be careful about raw food in Bangkok. I doubt that this particular waitress ever worked bah.

cavanami Posted June 8, 2015 Report Share Posted June 8, 2015 The Chinese (and some Thais) love to eat on the entire duck head! I munched a few, not so bad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
