The management will not change very fast there.

It’s run by a former sailor from Rotterdam and his not so young Thai wife.

The owner is often sat outside, smoking.

You should’ve complained to him.

As has been stated he is very ill and not at the restaurant these days

As I mentioned above, I was told that the owner is very ill, as in unlikely to be sat outside smoking for the foreseeable future. Which may partly explain what is apparently happening.

My Way is a small restaurant that specializes in Dutch cuisine.  It's located in what's called the Central Shopping Arcade, which is across 2nd Road from Mike's Shopping Mall and runs parallel to Soi Diana. You pass KISS Restaurant, the Beefeater and Patrick on the way to My Way.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A friend from New York and I ate at My Way last night around 7,00 pm.  It had almost filled up inside and out by the time we finished our meal at 7.45 pm.  The same was true for KISS, the Beafeater and Patrick's.  The inside and outside dining areas of all three were full when we walked past.  If last night was typical, the restaurants in the Central Shopping Arcade weren't suffering this high season.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

My Way is noted for its large portions of hearty Dutch food at reasonable prices.  Besides attracting Dutch visitors with a taste for home, it's popular with Scandinavians and Germans, judging by the languages spoken at the tables the times I've been there.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I decided to try the fried pork belly with stamppot, a traditional Dutch dish consisting of a vegetable or vegetable mixed with mashed potatoes.  I chose the variation with sauerkraut.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I liked it, but the stamppot would have benefitted from a bit more sauerkraut. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The pork belly was also good, but I missed the crackling with which I'm accustomed to getting on pork belly in the U.S. or U.K.  I'm not familiar enough with Dutch cuisine to know whether pork belly is usually served without crackling.  For me, the crackling is the best part of pork belly. At 280 baht for the pork belly and 50 baht for a bottle of SML, I certainly couldn't complain,  but I doubt I'll order it again.  I will go back to try the sausage with stamppot.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

My friend had the fish and chips, which he thought was very good.  The substantial slice of fish had been breaded nicely and wasn't at all oily, he said.  He also gave the thick-cut chips full marks.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 A small side of garden salad was included  and he was pleased with it as well.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

On earlier visits to My Way, I've usually had one of their beef tenderloin variations.  It's Thai beef that is surprisingly tender and flavorful.  At 285 baht for 180 grams, it's a good deal.  My Way also offers 300-gram portions of beef.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The tenderloin wrapped in bacon was particularly good.  Since it is Dutch style, I can accept that the sauce is poured over the meat in the kitchen.  Normally, I would ask for the sauce or gravy on the side.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I've also tried the Dutch-style tomato soup with small meatballs and it was excellent.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Bottom line:  there's nothing fancy about My Way and the dishes on it serves up aren't delicate, but it does deliver large and tasty portions at reasonable prices.  There are some Thai dishes on the menu, but I've never tried them.

I went there recently - I am a very regular customer - and recommend it to my friends

BUT I will not be going back until there is a change of management

Ordered a Chicken Schnitzel - it smelt funny from the start - then I pressed my fork on it and it was oozing oil - I tried to pat it with a napkin to get some of the oil off - but it was horrible - seems the oil wasnt hot enough in the first place - hence why it was so oily

I showed the waitress (who knows me very well) she said ok you want me to change it - I had no confidence so I changed for a pasta dish which incidentally was very watery like they had not drained the water off enough

 

Anyway - it is what it is - ask for the bill - and lo and behold the Chicken is there AND the Pasta dish - I queried it and got that Thai answer which was a nothing answer - solly mister cannot I no understand etc etc

 

Proves that Thai staff can kill your business

 

I will vote with my feet they lost a regular customer ....

At My Way they throw everything in hot (or not so hot) oil, even salmon.

Easy.
