SnakAtak Posted January 7, 2005 Report Share Posted January 7, 2005 Soi23 Fish N Chip Abuse As an ex-Anglophile I always feel sorry for the Thai staff who have to put up with all the BS from drunken customers at the Soi23 Fish N Chip Shop come bar closing time. Perhaps these antics are part and parcel of a chippies character in the UK at the bewitching hour but somehow it doesnt feel right in Bangkok and shows on the sullen faces of the staff. The girls are doing their best to fill customers hunger pangs for the cholesterol laden food they have left behind, knowing full well how better their own fare is, but why not leave them be please?

carew66 Posted January 7, 2005 Report Share Posted January 7, 2005 I keep meaning to pop into this place. Now, I'm not so sure. You're right - it's a pretty despicable way to behave and yes, I think it is indicative of a UK night out that takeaway staff have to put up with shit. In fact I had an err..altercation with a chap in Camden Town over just this type of thing earlier this year. Do they do mushy peas though? Can't be a chippy if it ain't got mushy peas right?

khwaimaisabai Posted January 7, 2005 Report Share Posted January 7, 2005 Hi carew, Yes, they have mushy peas and very good they are too. The food is excellent and the atmosphere is like a 50's chippy from the UK - before the food hugeine inspectors took over the world. I have only ever been in the daytime so I can't comment on late night antics. One option (which I have never tried) is to sit in the next door Offshore Bar and eat the chips with a beer at the bar. You should try it. Khwai Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pescator Posted January 7, 2005 Report Share Posted January 7, 2005 Hi Kwaimaisabai, For me it is just the other way around, I never made it from the Offshore Bar and into the Fish`n chips although it is right next door. I always see the same expats in this bar although my visits are very infrequent. Cheers Hua Nguu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gummigut Posted January 8, 2005 Report Share Posted January 8, 2005 I do wish they'd clean the restaurant once a year at least. Last time I was there I saw one cockroach on the wall, three on the floor, and one on a chair (no double counting). <<burp>> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thalenoi Posted January 8, 2005 Report Share Posted January 8, 2005 Hmmm, seems I will need to visit these places next trip to bkk... Now, Offshore bar first or other way round? Mushy peas, what's that? Sometimes an english guy living here invites me to a home made meal and his peas are horrible....but his stew is delicious...

Guest Posted January 8, 2005 Report Share Posted January 8, 2005 When it comes to closing the bar, the firls could say to the most abusive customers "I wonder if that fish was caught near Phi Phi?" Right now, the fish sales in Thailand have plummeted to the floor. Nobody wants to eat fish or sea food that may have been near where some of the dead bodies were.

greg Posted January 9, 2005 Report Share Posted January 9, 2005 This is my favourite resteraunt in Thailand. The scummy chippy part not the offshore bar. Battered sausage, mushy peas. Brilliant. Never seen the girls get any abuse there but it is likely they have suuffered some. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samak Posted January 9, 2005 Report Share Posted January 9, 2005 mousy? one interesting questions. when the fish and crabs and shrimps and lobsters and octopuses eat the dead bodies are they now full of phee roork? what is the best cooking method to get rid of the ghosts in the seafood: grill, oven, stir fried, sun dried, deep fried. it gives sashimi a certain drill as you can consume the ghosts unspoiled by any cooking....

whosyourdaddy Posted January 9, 2005 Report Share Posted January 9, 2005 a friend took a cook from there one night. Had to pay a 'fish and chip fine" ( bar fine) of 200B. Classic thailand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
