Pdoggg Posted September 17, 2022 Share Posted September 17, 2022 Ate at the Irish Grill House tonight. The spare ribs were great! The French Fries (Chips) were perhaps the best I've ever had anywhere in the world. It's near the bottom of Pratumnak Soi 5 in the Checkpoint Complex right next to the mini Big C. It's near the back of a row of small eateries on the left side. It's outdoorsy but covered by a roof if it rains. Note the sign says Grill House but the menu says Irish Grill House. Quality food at extremely reasonable prices. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The same meal could be double the price elsewhere. San Mig Lite is cheap too, 65 baht. Pratumnak doesn't have expensive eateries such as Patrick's or Beefeater but some good joints with quality food at expat friendly pricing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seven Posted September 18, 2022 Share Posted September 18, 2022 That’s fair. The 500b euro dinners in Patts are overpriced imo. Maybe not for 2-week millionaires but for expats. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodie Posted September 18, 2022 Share Posted September 18, 2022 Wonder where the term french fries came from?. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But i got some for you too.... when you are enjoying a coffee at 7-11 you can now have French Fries [chips] as well! i guess [speculate] that they are maybe [perhaps] not so nice. I haven't tried them so don't know but i speculate [guess] that they are microwaved. I can't imagine hot oil being used in the shop [premises] but, here's the good news, you get a little tub of Ketchup/catsup too! we'll go out for dinner one night PD! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The average American eats 29 lbs (13.15 kgs) of french fries a year.

The world is okay! But on first reading the figures quoted seem alarming but over 365 days are very small. Needs more investigation QG, e.g, how are the figures compiled? are the potatoes weighed before being peeled and fried? if so the weight of the peel needs to be deducted. and are microwave fries included? oven fries? air cooker fries? i think that you are going into your commie pinko anti-American gumph QG... are you attempting to insinuate that Americans are fat? Where did you get that idea from?........... they don't even wear white hoodie shirts in Pattaya.... i know for example that your booster bro isn't fat, I've seen him at volleyball nights in his Thong... you are gonna have Lance after you QG! quite rightly too. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimbo33 Posted September 20, 2022 Share Posted September 20, 2022 Saturday 17th September A large contingent of the Over The Hill Gang gathered at this brand new venture tucked away in Checkpoint Market. Its a food court next to Mini C towards the bottom of soi 5 Pratumnak Hill. Run by the girlfriend of Father Dougal - Meaw. Checkpoint Market is a food court style arrangement with maybe a dozen new clean stalls set either side of a central seating area. A wide variety of foods available. All very reasonably priced. Meaw is a delightful lady, very eager to please her customers. And the food - amazing ! All fresh ingredients of the best quality. No scrimping on quality here - both the meat and the vegetables were fabulous. And the fries!! - we all agreed were world class. I don't what her secret is with producing such heavenly chips, as we call them in the UK, but they were astonishing. I had the pork steak at 179 bt = fabulous. Did i mention the fries(chips) - oh my God, fantastic! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going to find out! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would rip the corner off the packet and pull the chips out one by one. Kept the others warm. Just the best!. God it takes me back.
