My Canterbury Tales

You could be right Boyo, especially 2 of them are from the Valleys

The above Label goes into every book on our shelves as well as the Mai Pang one, good way of advertising.

Hmmm...helpful, although the next-to-last line gave me pause.

 

I'd just find a better way to say "honest" - "Christian values" certainly aren't what they used to be...

One of my fav's

Replace the chicken schnizel with a chicken parmo & I'll be on the next flight over.

 

Peace.

Nice thought but the cost of Parmisan cheese would make it too expensive to offer.

Contrary to popular belief, the 'parmo' does not contain any parmesan cheese. I say popular, by which I mean the total population within a 30 mile radius of my home.

 

For the 99.99% of BMs who are baffled by this subject, (I can't believe that) there is a wikipedia page on the topic here:

Very interesting. Even this homeboy learnt a few new things!

 

However Dave, I suspect that the cost of cheddar & bechemel sauce would make the dish (delicacy?) just as prohibitively expensive.

 

Peace.

Just go for the full english brekkie like i do everyday! Canterbury is very good at that one! And yes i am very pom-pui..140kg..

[Daveo]

Still very popular.

Guys,dont shoot the messenger,we are the foreigners,shouting orders with numerous different accents.How about being grateful someone,Dave,in this case - has made us welcome & has gone to lengths to give us what we want. In my case : a strong cuppa tea,crispy bacon sandwich without butter,fried eggs with a slightly runny yoke,toast that is almost charcoal,a coke in a glass but without ice. Anyway i hope you get my point,try to grateful for all the bits that are got right in your view. Life can be much happier enjoying what you have,than moaning about what you havent. I should give it a try myself sometime.

Hi Fellas

 

Stayed opposite Canterburys during May 2009, at the the Chow Soy.

 

I breakfasted here on 20+ occasions, so I must have liked it!

 

I chose the big breakfast every day (fat bastard) which included:

 

2 eggs, 2 bacon, 1 sausage, beans, tomato, black pudding, 1 toast and marmalade, Tea or Coffee and orange juice.

 

For a grand price of 140b!

 

Well, many adventures ensued.

 

I was sat with Dave on my 1st day. The waitress got my order wrong (big not small breakfast), but altered my bill accordingly 10 mins later. Dave commented 'f*cking typical'.

 

The waitresses seemed a bit too small (or young) & therefore inexperienced / immature. I thought that they were Dave's daughters at first.

 

Dave is the master of marketing, with his 'orange juice' that is 'orange cordial', & his daily newspapers that are usually 2 weeks out of date (you might find yourself reading the same paper on the plane & on your last day.) I stayed 5 weeks so was glad to be updated on blighty, although belatedly!

 

The food. In one word - excellent. Well cooked & tasty, the best VALUE breakfast in Pattaya!!!

 

Imagine a breakfast you might get from a greasy spoon in the UK (although suprisingly not greasy!)

 

There were various minor problems during my 20+ forays into CTs.

 

Wrong order delivered.

Orange cordial not delivered (didn't care anyway)

Sausage not included (blasphemy!!! Sorted with a quick word.)

Asked for ice coffee, 1 waitress did not understand on several occasions.

 

To summarise. Top work Dave. Great brekkie. Minor teething problems with staff.

 

For comparison, the Butchers Arms down the road offers a big brekkie inc a pot of tea for 200b, for you LDOPs

 

Their linconshire sausages are to die for though! Although their fried potatoes leave something to be desired!

 

There is also a nice Thai place to the right of CTs. My Tilac & I ordred lab moo, pad seeyou, som tum & 2 cokes for 150b!!!

 

Sorry Dave. Honest review mate.

 

Best Regards

 

Mate I have toyed with the idea of staying here too...good quality low cost rooms apparently

[Tao 66]

This is our Breakfast number 2

 

think we met on my last trip in September...had a couple of cups of pretty good coffee there and talked to another BM who stays regularly..won't post his personal name on the forum but he is one of your regulars.

 

Never stayed your side of town, might do, but if not will def come for one of your breakfasts next time

[dream1302]

Still gotta be one of the best value breakfast you can get in patts

[602trooper]

Stayed here a couple of weeks in Oct, didnt eat at CT everyday but never had a problem when I did. I tried a few

different breakfasts and always came as ordered and quickly. The girls were always pleasant and understood most of

what i said. If they didnt, I just pointed which always does the trick

 

Great place to eat, people watch and just while away a bit of time before getting on with the job of getting sunburnt, getting hammered

and general mongering.

[Daveo]

Hey Trooper, thanks for that, look forward to seeing you again sometime, all the best Dave

[Daveo]

Looks like a whos who rogues gallery, sure iv seen one or two on crime watch UK

 

Yes you recognised Ronnie Biggs did you

[brad117]

I plan on eating there on my future visit and will surely be checking out the book store, Often.

 

 

One thing I noticed about the comments on the coffee... strong vs. weak. I think many more people would prefer a coffee on the more strong side than weak. The thing about a strong cup is someone can always add a little cream or milk. With a weak cup there is nothing you can do, and can really be a put off on an otherwise good meal.

 

For what it's worth a stronger cup with quality coffee can make a big difference to a customer. Not bitching just throwing out a suggestion.
