    Just want to say many thanks to Doc and jeferey, now got my 2nd 18" suitcase...SA was very generous and as the original price of the case showed on the receipt as £116.99 he gave me 6 vouchers...so now have got my 10 for the toilet bag, but thanks for the offer Blue maybe you can let Aesop have them for her friend...made the shop up to £50 and used a lovely £5 cond spend( thanks again to Doc)....very happy bunny here....all set to go travelling...
    Went to Morrisons and used the £5 cond spend there....didn't seem to be as many bargains as last week, but got the huge box of cornflakes for £1.34....I'm having to buy cereal again, having eaten all the ones I've won...also got Muller Corners @10 for £2.....

    Wow You lot the best:kisses::kisses::kisses: and I am so slow :o didn't think to pre look at menu and thanks to your post explaining some of the dishes Doc :A:A:A I can have a green curry and a steamed rice:j Just looked at the menu most of it haven't got a clue as it's not normally food we eat have been to a Thai place few years back when was on a holiday it was nice. This way can decide the least spicy option before hand not too bad if I don't manage to finish which I know am not going to be able to.

    Doc what is naal nenas description says pinapple special fried rice with chicken and peas what is this like probs not for tonight as fried but it would be something I would maybe choose on another occasion, as you seem to be the best qualified with these dishes:D;)

    The actual restaurant description says Malaysian, Thai and Singaporean restaurant


    Ok, don't know whats "naal" but most probably its pineapple rice

    This is the proper authentic way the Thai restaurant should serve :-

    images?q=tbn:ANd9GcThC7LD503Q6F1rrhghHy8SpB4IkzccMGf7t3xR3bp3xYEoqYyn3w But in UK we get this type something like this images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTghzCj94frPkrht-g_UwkEeNedN3T3xj3Bd6VDOLNyVbUEawberw

    The Thai cannot cook like the Malaysian vice versa the Singaporean well they are worse - Singapore are full of expats so the food are cater more for western pallete.

    If I want to go for Thai food - I will go to the authentic one - they only serve Thai Food. If I wanna go for Malaysian food - I'll go to the Malaysian Restaurant.

    If you send me the link & I'll tell you whether they are Thai or Malaysian or Singaporean restaurant.

    The Thai uses more chillies & herbs. The Malaysian use more curry powder & chillies. The Singaporean me don't know... have never been to singaporean restaurant before.

    Its like if you wanna eat Kebab where would you go : The turks or the greek takeaway? The white or the chinese fish & chips? me, I go for the Greek fish & chips:rotfl:as the one cooked by the white wasn't that good:D

    So you AH - the same principal applies to any restaurant.;)

    This is gorgeous if you can find it :-

    Basil and mince meat

    Thai Green curry

    images?q=tbn:ANd9GcSpoNS9rGHowIxedEbluynE_ksqWCKW4umjzpMzjxUKHYzdw4AosQ

    Thai fish cake ( this are their home make & they are very nice!) it is cook with kafir lime leaves & coriander leaves dip with cucumber in sweet chilli sauce - its very time consuming to make this and the price will reflect it.

    OH word of advise : TELL THEM NOT TO PUT BAMBOO SHOOT IN ANY OF YOUR DISHES. Tell them you or your group are allergy to Bamboo shoot. If they have bamboo shoot reject it or better still eat everything except bamboo shoot then complain!!!! I don't trust restaurant peeps so it is best not to make any complain until you finished your food. Cos' if they offer to cook a fresh one you don't what they put in!! me very sceptical.

    Bamboo shoot comes from China and Its not a real bamboo shoot they (in china) used wood they soak it & then stripped it & then make it look like bamboo shoot & get us suckers to eat it.:D If I can find the link on how they make bamboo shoot I'll post it here & I bet you will never ever eat it again!!!
