I'll have to try this one out myself.

Salad Bar Architecture at Pizza Hut

Here is a creative way to maximize your return on investment (ROI) at the Pizza Hut's salad bar. Remember, you only get one trip to the salad bar, so make it count!

Go ahead and try it at your own risk! And don't blame me if you get booted from the restaurant or get into a salad bar brawl over a bowl.

Caution: Please don't try this too often or else the manager dude at 1150 Pizza Hut is going to get really annoyed.

















Hey fellas! Check out my salad bowl!



Thanks to some Taiwanese students who constructed this creative salad bar architecture. There is also a YouTube video of how it's done.

If you dislike the idea that Pizza Hut is expensive and you are not allowed to pick your salad more than once, you can always go to Sizzler where you can sit near the salad bar and make as many trips as you like.

KFC adds roasted chicken burger to menu

KFC Thailand, a division of Yum Restaurants International Thailand, has introduced a new roasted chicken burger item to its menu since 4th July, 2008.

The roasted chicken burger with soft bread is topped with cheese sauce, mayonnaise, and fresh vegetables. The burger's Thai price is 55 Baht. Looks pretty yummy! I think I better grab the phone now and dial KFC 1150 to try out this new burger item.

KFC plans to introduce a number of burgers offering more meat varieties. With the introduction of the new item, KFC Thailand expects burgers to account for 20% of its total sales by the end of 2008. Currently, burgers make up for only 5% of the restaurant chain's total sales.

New KFC Thailand website, where are the chickens?

The new KFC Thailand (Kentucky Fried Chicken) website looks really fancy and out of this world, but it's very slow and is too many clicks away from a chicken. It has a splash page where a chicken man with a cap performs a traditional "Thai wai" saying "Please choose language", but the English one isn't up so Thai is the only option available now.

Clicking on the Thai flag pops up a window in which you see cool humans being transported into a KFC alien spaceship that blasts off after a countdown. This leads to another world which is filled with all kinds of KFC product menus with a 1150 KFC satellite displaying live streamed images of KFC menu brochures on a giant screen. A new KFC song plays in the background which is catchy and funny, along with voices of people dining at a KFC outlet. All this took quite a long time to load and a I still couldn't find a chicken menu image, which was a few more clicks away.



The new website is too fancy but requires a lot of patience to find what items you are looking for before deciding to place an order by phone for delivery through 1150. The good old website was way better and faster with everything easily accessible with just 1 or 2 clicks, and it also had an English version.

Mee Krob Rad Na Ham (ก๋วยเตี๋ยวราดหน้าหมี่กรอบแฮม)

This is one of my favorite Thai dishes and its called Mee Krob Rad Na Ham or ราดหน้าหมี่กรอบแฮม in Thai. Mee krob literally means "crispy noodles", and Rad Na that literally means "pour over the face". It is made with rice noodles (thin vermicelli), gain lan (kai-lan: a Chinese Broccoli/Kale) pork, ham, and a saucy gravy made of stock and tapioca starch poured over it. This is a common dish served in most Thai restaurants but this one comes with a Ham topping, the first time I found this combination in a restaurant in Bangkok. I had this for dinner near The Old Siam shopping mall near Phahurat.

Khao Phad Naam Prik Long Rua (ข้าวผัดน้ำพริกลงเรือ)

A very delicious Thai dish called Khaoo Phad Naam Prik Long Rua or ข้าวผัดน้ำพริกลงเรือ in Thai. Had this meal at Café de Bua which is on the 2nd floor at Esplanade, Bangkok. This dish is not served in common street side stalls, but many restaurants have it listed on their menu. It consists of sweet pork, salted egg, deep fried fish, shrimp paste.

Dim Sum and some ancient ice coffee

Tuesday evening stopped by at a restaurant opposite Seri Center on SriNakarin Road. Had to park the car behind the restaurant and enter from the back door! Anyway, ordered lots of Dim Sum and had some ancient ice coffee (kafe boran) which wasn't that good, just mediocre. The dim sum were really delicious costing 30 Baht each set. Also ate a plate of Khao Moo Daeng (Red pork rice). Missed the desert though, as I ate so much that it got me full for the next 5 hours or so.

Friday night, Thai food for dinner by the corner

Last night it was raining again, and the Italian restaurant me & my friends planned to go was closed, so we went around the corner to eat at a streetside restaurant. The last time when we ate here I still remember pretty well, as we were enjoying the food my friend looked down beside the table a metre away at a sewer cover and then turned back with a disgusted look on her face, when I looked I saw there were around 6 or 7 cockroaches all with their antennae pointing right at us... Shit. why did we have to look there???

Anyway, this time we moved far away from the sewer cover, went around to sit at a table that was just a metre away from the ATM machines of a closed bank. Much better to look at ATM machines than cockoaches, at least we know our money is in there somewhere.

The food was great!!! Had "Tom Yum Kung" soup, "Phat khana moo krob" (Pork), and Fish Salad (see pictures below).

Midday meal at my regular Bangkok streetside restaurant

After a great lunch at my regular Bangkok street food stall. The remains of a Thai dish called "phad phak ruam mit moo-krob laad khao".
