In one of our first visits to Thailand we discovered confinement in Pattaya completely new kind of power - "Thai buffet." Or "samovar" - as we called him. By association confinement - he varish! As always, walking at night in search of a cafe or restaurant, we looked at the place where a lot of people. It is known that the attendance of the restaurant - a good indicator of value for money. Never go even in the most beautiful restaurant, if there are no people - it means there are fed tasteless or very expensive, and sometimes a combination of both. So, we saw a seemingly unremarkable institution with iron tables where there were so many people. But ... the only thing that bother us - it was mostly Thai with the occasional addition of European officials.
We have just emerged from there with a satisfied look of our visitors asked: what is it? And they heard that this cafe type "buffet", where most it is necessary to cook your own food. I must say that I am not a big fan of such experiments in restaurants not to go there, so there is also a cook. But, to our surprise, these guys are not only excitedly told us what it is, but also dragged in and explained that it is very simple. Pay for the buffet 169 baht, you sit down at a table with a hole in the middle. Tayets brings you a bucket confinement of coal, gives a special dish, shaped like a hat with a rounded crown, and you will cook your own food. The main thing to take a slice of bacon or bacon and place upstairs, it melts and flows down fat. Then nothing burns (although still burns!). Meat and bacon add flavor - they broth with shrimp or other seafood is very tasty and nourishing. In the "crown of the hat" to pour water from the kettle, confinement which you will be given, and in the most "hat" grill that will take in the buffet. It turns out that you are cooking and soup and hot at the same time on the same device. We did not experiment and the first time did so, as we have shown, top grilled meat, and throwing water shrimp, squid and greens. It turned out very tasty! The procedure is very simple: go and typing on your plate raw everything confinement like: beef, pork, chicken or liver. Any sauces and greens! confinement We took the easiest option "buffet" - for 169 baht - and no mistake: medium size shrimp were the most delicious I've ever eaten in Thailand.
The next time we have with this place his son with his girlfriend and they have ordered the most expensive "buffet" - for 300 baht, the so-called seafood, ie seafood - there were large prawns, squid, lobster, crab, and so on. h. But, honestly, I liked them a lot less broth. The only thing that is available for a fee - it drinks. All very democratic: someone just sitting with water or Pepsi or Coke, and some prefer "hotter". We are also not depart from the classics of the genre, following the principle of "shrimp without beer - money down the drain." Quantity approaches is limited. You can cook yourself different soups with noodles and mushrooms. There are also ready-made meals, we took the finished shells and mussels. Not forgotten and dessert: Thai sweets, fruit and ice cream! But we have to dessert, it does not reach, so we overeat shrimp. In Pattaya, there are several such buffets, but we go to one of them - under the name "4471" - the same one that visited in their first winter.
It is located on the street confinement Naklua, north of the city. Reference points on the photo below - 14th Lane, from him 200-300 meters diagonally across the road and is this the best buffet - on the right side of the street Naklua (if you go from the center).
And more. Through the food culture in Thailand revealed a layer of living in a Thai family. It turns out that in Thailand there are no social confinement guarantees confinement - pensions, sick leave, unemployment benefits, etc. - All the things to which we are accustomed. The chief social bulwark Thais - family. They live mainly in large families, usually three generations: the elderly (grandparents), their children (parents) and children's children (grandchildren). Main in the family is considered to be a grandmother. Moreover, this is not such a grandmother as we do, that roasts cakes and takes care of her grandchildren while their parents work. It often rests, confinement that is, the "smoke bamboo", but all the money earning members of the family, gave her. And her opinion crucial - how to spend and what to buy someone. My grandmother does not cook food more because Thais hardly cook at home, and everyone is buying in the markets or in "makashnits" on the streets, where for a penny are sold in bags of Thai soups, noodles, rice, a variety of kebabs. confinement To our taste - it tastes good only for the first 5 days, and then an abundance of spices, sugar and unfamiliar
