MooNoi Posted March 27, 2004 Report Share Posted March 27, 2004 IMO, Thailand is the worst place to get farang food - especially for a decent price. Some high-end places and restaurants in 5-star hotels etc do good western food, but your averages street cafe falls way short of the mark. I believe this is because Thailand was never colonised by a western nation, therefore, culinary influences never wore off on The Land of Smiles. For instance, Vietnam does great farang food at a great price. Especially French dishes. And Singapore does great farang food too IMO. What's your take on farang food in Asia?

Guest lazyphil Posted March 27, 2004 Report Share Posted March 27, 2004 KFC tastes as good in LOS as it does here and Macs for that matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zaad Posted March 27, 2004 Report Share Posted March 27, 2004 Can't judge where the best farang food is served as I've only been to Thailand in Asia. But I have no complaints at all regarding 'our' food here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chilli13 Posted March 27, 2004 Report Share Posted March 27, 2004 I'm sure I'm offending a lot of people, but another good reason for the superb food offerings in LOS is the LACK of euro rule & thus spoiled local cuisine. However if I really had to have some great european(french) food when in Asia I'd head straight for laos or cambo. They do great versions of many french favorites so the tricolore is saved around the mekong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coss Posted March 27, 2004 Report Share Posted March 27, 2004 I really liked the french cuisine in Cambodia. But in terms of excellence, Japan has it for me, I've had some of the best meals in my life in Tokyo. Western/Indian/Japanese in Tokyo = very good.

If you go to Camb/Laos/Vietnam you'll see how badly they do farang food in Thailand! I don't think we can count stuff like KFC/McDonalds etc as fast food chains are "standardised" all around the world and part of the marketing strategy for these companies is that your Big Mac/Zinger will taste the same in Australia/USA/Europe/Asia.

Torneyboy Posted March 27, 2004 Report Share Posted March 27, 2004 Hi My vote went to Viet Nam. In BKK i have to get to Sizzler at least once a week to get some meat and salad. Even at home i have to get a break from Thai 24/7. HongKong and Singapore have some great falang food outlets as well ...IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're not alone on this opinion, I think I'd better have a bite abroad someday to check for myself:up: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elef Posted March 27, 2004 Report Share Posted March 27, 2004 Hi, Sizzler is IMO expensive and not so good food. My 2 farang food favourite restaurants in BKK are both near soi 23. Old Dutch - soi 23 end of Soi Cowboy. A big cheese schnitzel for 100 baht! Chokchai Steak House 500 m north of Old Dutch - small soi between Soi 23 and Soi Asoke (21). Best T-bonesteak in Thailand! elef Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
