El Mercado Bangkok 2021

El Mercado Bangkok 2021

El Mercado Bangkok 2021, any time I visit this great city this restaurant is on the top of my list. They now have three branches, but so far I have only been to two of them. This photo blog is on their Calle 35 branch at 15/8 M Tower, Sukhumvit 35 Alley, Khlong Tan Nuea, Watthana, Bangkok 10110. Phone02 011 1712

A fairly compact venue

El Mercado Bangkok 2021

However there is also an upstairs section. They have a home delivery service as well as three branches in Bangkok. Check out their website on THIS  LINK.

Quite a stylish unique fitout

El Mercado Bangkok 2021

All products provided by El Mercado will be delivered as per strict temperature control: – Seafood 2 to 5 degrees . – Dairy 4 to 10 degrees 

Bread, pastries & croisants

El Mercado Bangkok 2021

After you dine make sure you take some of these home for later. 🙂

Here is an outdoor area for the smokers

El Mercado Bangkok 2021

It would be ok to sit here at night but certainly not at lunch time. 

Here is what I always order.

El Mercado Bangkok 2021

Oysters from France, beautiful Fine de Clare No 3.

B886 or $36 AUD, quite a good price for Bangkok, although I get them for $23 at L’Auberge in Pattaya. These were Fine de Clare No 3.

The Fines de Claires Oysters are exclusively produced in the Marennes-Oléron basin in France. They have an elongated shell which makes them easily recognizable.

The Fines de Claires Oysters are less fleshy than normal oysters and have a softer-coloured flesh. The Fines de Claires Oysters are rich in water and have a stronger, slightly sweeter taste thanks to the « affinage” made in ponds connected to seawater during the last weeks of the farming.

Lots of wine available

El Mercado Bangkok 2021

 A very important addition. 🙂

Sauces & mustards etc

El Mercado Bangkok 2021

As well as the wine, make sure to take home some condiments.

El Mercado started with 4 people “doing it all”, 6 tables, 10 cheeses and cold-cuts, a coffee machine and lot’s of ideas, dreams and hopes.

As a concept, El Mercado means “Market” in Spanish and it refers to a place to find a variety of the fresher and finest foods, usually seasonal, at a reasonable prices. Check out their fabulous seafood on THIS LINK.

Mathilda restaurant Pattaya

July 2, 2021 by David Herd

Mathilda restaurant Pattaya

Mathilda restaurant Pattaya

Mathilda restaurant Pattaya offers an extensive menu for Thai & western food at a price which is hard to beat. I remember a few years ago when you could buy a bottle of Aussie red for only B400 or $16 AUD, which is a good price in Thailand. Of course now in June 2021 with the Covid-19 crisis alcohol is not available in restaurants.

Very good selection of food

Mathilda restaurant Pattaya

Tripadvisor ranked #331 of 1407 restaurants in Pattaya.

The avocado is my favourite

Mathilda restaurant Pattaya

I had lunch there yeserday July 1st 2021 & sadly there was no avocado.

So I settled for a hamburger & desert

Mathilda restaurant Pattaya

 The burger was very good & only cost B85, or $3.50 AUD.

Penty of calories here I’m afraid. 🙂

Mathilda restaurant Pattaya

 The crepe suzette was also was only B85.

Sausages mash & gravy

Mathilda restaurant Pattaya

After you finish this I guarantee you won’t be hungry anymore. 🙂

Club sandwich

Mathilda restaurant Pattaya

Good value as usual. 🙂

On 2nd thoughts

Mathilda restaurant Pattaya

There is always room for some icecream 🙂

Meatballs & gravy

Mathilda restaurant Pattaya

So many choices & such little time. 🙂

Phad Thai

2m

Pad Thai and mango and sticky rice, a perfect lunch. B225 or $9.50 AUD including a 10% tip.

Mango & sticky rice

Mathilda restaurant Pattaya

A taste sensation. 🙂

Mathilda restaurant Pattaya

Mathilda restaurant Pattaya

Dinner with my two friends, Hamish Elton, a Queenslander who lives in Pattaya & Dave Elder, a Queenslander visiting on holiday in 2017. I remember very well, prior to dinner we had drinks at Retox Game On which sadly has now closed due to Covid-19. Anyhow on one of the many TVs we saw a terrific game of Australian Rules football, my team the Sydney Swans narrowly beat Essendon in an absolute thriller. 🙂 

Make sure you visit mathilda

Mathilda restaurant Pattaya

 This is certainly a very good restaurant with excellent Thai & western food at the right price.

Peaky Blinders Pattaya Restaurant

Peaky Blinders Pattaya Restaurant

Peaky Blinders Pattaya Restaurant is located behind the Unixx condo in South Pattaya. It’s on the ground floor of the Pattaya Heights Condo & is rated by TripAdvisor 165 out of 1,100 Restaurants in Pattaya.

Warn atmosphere

Peaky Blinders Pattaya Restaurant

The food and service is excellent, don’t let the location deter you, this is a very good restaurant.

Ride em cowboy

Peaky Blinders Pattaya Restaurant

I don’t suppose you can really call Thomas Shelby a cowboy, Birmingham is a long way from Texas. 🙂

What about the food you ask?

Peaky Blinders Pattaya Restaurant

 Sorry it took so long, on our first visit my old mate “Pothole” & I both had the corned beef which was very good but nothing like what we have in Australia. Both of us however thought the cabbage was the best we have ever tasted in our lives. This was the daily special at B350, or $14.80 AUD.

A week later we returned for the hamburgers

Peaky Blinders Pattaya Restaurant

Pothole really enjoyed the Wagyu beef hamburger, however the real surprise packet were the sweet potato fries, absolutely delicious. Good value at B190 or $8 AUD.

For me it was the Wagyu sliders

Peaky Blinders Pattaya Restaurant

Very good indeed even though I struggled a little to get through the three. 🙂 Very good value at B175, or $7.40 AUD.

Shepherds Pie

Peaky Blinders Pattaya Restaurant

 The owner E.T. made 2 servings of Shepherds pie especially for Pothole & myself, it was absolutely delicious. I only ate 1/2 of mine & took the 2nd half home to eat tomorrow. Pothole of course not only ate the lot, but washed it down with 2 pints of Guinness which is a meal in itself. 🙂 

Lamb Shank

Peaky Blinders Pattaya Restaurant

We have not tried this yet, I borrowed this photo & the one below from their website.

They open for breakfast as well.

Peaky Blinders Pattaya Restaurant

Very convenient for those living in the building.

We certainly will return

Peaky Blinders Pattaya Restaurant

There are lots of other dishes on the menu I want to try.

Having a party?

Peaky Blinders Pattaya Restaurant

Here is a great room for celebrating a birthday or a divorce, totally separate from the main room.

Terrific decor

peaky-blinders-pattaya-restaurantCoupled with an interesting menu.

A pensive Pothole

Peaky Blinders Pattaya Restaurant

I just had to include a shot of Pothole, normally he doesn’t travel past Soi 6, but for the good food & service at Peaky Blinders he is happy to make an exception. 🙂

Surf and Turf Pattaya

February 24, 2021 by David Herd

Surf and Turf Pattaya

Surf and Turf Pattaya

Surf and Turf Pattaya is located at the front of the 4-star Long Beach Garden Hotel. For a more accurate description replace Pattaya with Naklua. The photo above is the original restaurant, the following shots taken in February 2021 will show the new section which is currently not in use due to having few customers because of the Coronavirus. 

The new section

Surf and Turf Pattaya 

It more than doubles the size of the original section.

Lots of surfboards feature

Surf and Turf Pattaya

However I have never seen a surf in Pattaya. 🙂

Outdoor section

Surf and Turf Pattaya

 My preference is inside in front of a fan, however today was February 24 2021 & the breeze coming off the bay was magnificent.

Surf and Turf Pattaya

Surf and Turf Pattaya

 A very popular restaurant, there always seems to be more Thai people than foreigners. 

Avocado smoothie

Surf and Turf Pattaya

At B140 it was fairly average, I did have high hopes as I do love avocado. 🙂

Hamburger

Surf and Turf Pattaya

With prawns, the beef patty was very good, as were the fries. One of the features of this nice restaurant is the huge choice of dishes, both western & Thai, the staff are very nice as well.

If you prefer a quieter location to stay rather than Pattaya, the Longbeach Hotel is a good choice, especially with their beachside restaurant the Surf & Turf. For a very good room discount just follow THIS LINK.

Before you leave please check out my original Surf & Turf photo blog HERE.

Don Pepe Tapas Bar

December 14, 2020 by David Herd

Spanish Tapas

Don Pepe Tapas Bar

Don Pepe Tapas Bar is a welcome addition to what should be called “restaurant row.” It shares the arcade with several well known restaurants including Alter Ego, Beefeater, Patrick’s & Longhorn steakhouse.

Nice decor

Tapas Bar

Not too many customers at 6.30 pm. 🙂

Very interesting choices of food.

Don Pepe Tapas Bar

 The octopus looks spectacular, I will definitely order it next time I visit. This & some of the other food shots were taken by my friend Hamish Elton on his  Google Pixel XL 3 phone.

Lamb Balls

Don Pepe Tapas Bar

At a price of B180 or $8 AUD.

 As you can clearly see, this is another dish Hamish ordered.

In fact here are all the dishes he ordered

Don Pepe Tapas Bar

 His wife Mai is a small eater, but Hamish has one of the best appetites’ I have ever seen. 🙂

Interesting name…..

Don Pepe Tapas Bar

 They call it “Burger me softly”, & it will set you back B180, or $8 AUD.

Pork Belly

Don Pepe

Looks delicious.

Don Pepe Tapas Bar presents their Pulled Pork Taco

 They have certainly created some interesting dishes. Patrick Van Den Berghe, the owner of Patrick’s Belgian Steakhouse is part owner of Don Pepe Tapas Bar, his vast experience will have quite an influence on this new establishment. 

Barcelona style creme brulee

Don Pepe Tapas Bar

 Not a bad way to finish an excellent meal. 🙂

A tapa is an appetizer or snack in Spanish cuisine. Tapas may be cold or hot. In some bars and restaurants in Spain and across the globe, tapas have evolved into a more sophisticated cuisine. Tapas can be combined to make a full meal. In some Central American countries, such snacks are known as bocas. Wikipedia

L’Auberge French Restaurant Pattaya

September 27, 2020 by David Herd

L’Auberge French Restaurant Pattaya

L'Auberge French Restaurant Pattaya

L’Auberge French Restaurant Pattaya has recently moved from Pratumnack Hill to 3rd road so I figured it was time to see if it lives up to TripAdvisor’s rating of 127 out of 1,433 restaurants in Pattaya.

Oysters from France

L'Auberge French Restaurant Pattaya

Quite large & tasty, B890 or $40 AUD for a dozen, however as of October 2021 the price is B590 or $23 AUD.

The fine de claire is for those who prefer a less fleshy oyster. These oysters are finished for several weeks in shallow clay ponds where they acquire a superior quality shell to oysters grown in the open sea.

It is during this process that the claires of the Marennes Oléron basin impart the subtleties of regional flavours.

This oyster is particularly appreciated by the consumer who prefers an oyster rich in water and balanced in flavour.

Good service & friendly staff

L'Auberge French Restaurant Pattaya

The owner regularly came out from the kitchen to check with all the customers that everything was quite OK.

Red wine from Chile

L'Auberge French Restaurant PattayaThe house wine was good at B120 per glass or B240 for a 250 ml small carafe. I managed to put away 1/2 a litre. 🙂

L’Auberge French Restaurant Pattaya, the Sunday special

L'Auberge French Restaurant Pattaya

Consists of cheese & cold cuts, I will most certainly visit on a Sunday in the near future.

More of the Sunday special

L'Auberge Sunday (1)A terrific variety.

4 course lunch menu

L’Auberge French Restaurant PattayaGreat value at B390 or $12.50 USD.

Terrine

L’Auberge French Restaurant Pattaya

Served with gherkin & fresh bread.

Assorted cold cuts

L’Auberge French Restaurant Pattaya

A nice way to start what was to be a great value lunch.

Lasagne to die for. 🙂

L’Auberge French Restaurant Pattaya

The lamb was very tender indeed & the carrots were superb. 🙂

Fine de Claire oysters from France for only B590 or $23 AUD.

The world is my oyster

L'Auberge French Restaurant Pattaya

I can totally relate to this famous saying which means that you can achieve anything you wish in life, or go anywhere because you have the opportunity or ability to do so. On another level I have eaten oysters all over this wonderful planet called Earth. To check out my adventures please follow THIS LINK.

Pattaya storm water solution

March 11, 2020 by David Herd

Pattaya storm water solution

Pattaya storm water solutionPattaya storm water solution involves digging up part of Beach road and laying a 2 meter pipe underground to stop the storm water flooding the road & footpath.

Huge drain pipe

Pattaya storm water solution Lets hope this strategy works, the current system has never been able to handle the huge volume of water from storms in the wet season. It is not just the water that falls on Beach Rd, most of the Soi’s in North Pattaya run down hill from 2nd Road bringing a huge volume of water that runs over the footpath and destroys huge sections of the beach.

Here’s what happens to the beach

Pattaya storm water solution This has been the case for many years. For more storm damage just follow THIS LINK.

Here is a video of the flooding

Beach Rd Pattaya flooded, more water than Songkran.

That’s a lot of water right there.

They are sparing no expense on equipment

Pattaya storm water solution It’s a very noisy disruptive project, let’s hope it works.

No problem on the footpath

Pattaya storm water solution All the disruption is on the actual road, traffic of course move very slowing with on one or two lanes to use.

Near Soi one

Pattaya storm water solution I must give them credit, they are making good progress.

Pattaya storm water solution

Pattaya storm water solution Trucks and excavators all along Beach Road.

This footpath is going to need some work. 🙂

Pattaya storm water solution It’s now March 2023 & I think we are in for another 6 months of pain before this project is completed. Having said that I really believe the workers are doing a great job & as fast as possible.

Opposite Markland Soi 1 March 15

Pattaya storm water solution Progress is being made.

Pristine equipment

Pattaya storm water solution This fabulous gizmo is probably only 30 years old. 🙂

Finally the steamroller arrives

Pattaya storm water solution This one will leave you rather flat. Steam, what steam? I don’t see any steam. 🙂

May 21 2020

Pattaya storm water solution

I’m guessing it will take another 6 months to level up & re-fit all the pavers.

Sensational life Sydney 1983 is no exaggeration, in fact the 80s was probably my favourite decade. A harbour side condo with my Bertram cruiser moored outside, my very own liquor store & a white Mercedes Sports.

Boats, babes & booze
