Hong Kong Noodle Pattaya

October 31, 2020 by David Herd

Very good Dim Sum

Hong Kong Noodle Pattaya is one of my favourite lunch spots at Terminal 21. Located on the top floor near Pier 21 food court. There are so many places to dine here, the last time I checked I think there were 90 food outlets. For a guide just follow THIS LINK.

Interesting decor

At the moment in November 2020, they like many others are struggling to attract customers due to the Coronavirus. In fact many businesses all over Pattaya have shut their doors.

One of the best soups I have had in Pattaya

On the left hand side you will see a giant seafood dumpling, it was very tasty indeed. 🙂

Prawn Shumai

Prawn or pork? Forget it, just order both. 🙂

I forget the name, but delicious as always

Sometimes I will order two of these.

BBQ pork bun

Certainly rates as one of the usual suspects. 🙂

I must admit Dim Sum is probable close to being my favourite cuisine, just behind Japanese. 🙂 My favourite was The Peak at the Dusit Thani, sadly they closed in 2019.

OK, lets ordrer two more

As they say in the classics, too much Dim Sum is never enough.

Thanks for visiting my Hong Kong Noodle Pattaya photo blog, take a look at the choices you have on THIS LINK.

For a guide to the various categories just follow THIS LINK.

To see how this fabulous mall was created from the very beginning just follow THIS LINK.

Another of my favourite lunch time restaurants is on a lower floor next to Foodland, give Hawker Chan a try, you won’t regret it. 🙂

New Soho Town Pattaya

October 1, 2019 by David Herd

New Soho Town Pattaya

New Soho Town Pattaya is an extension of the original food market. The entrance is around the corner in Pattayasaisong 1 Alley, however it connects with the original market area with both venues forming an L shape, so you can simply climb the stairs at the rear of Soho Village & turn left at the temple.

It will need promotion

The original market is extremely busy every night but this section was almost deserted when I dined there September 30 2019.

Lots of cooking stations

In fact more cooking stations than people at this early stage.

Entertainment was very good

The singer had a nice voice & the volume thankfully was not too loud.

I chose this Saigon kitchen

The food ranged from average to very good.

Interesting prawn & noodle soup

It looked far better than it tasted, sadly it was rather bland but the prawns were good.

A mixed result here

The chicken skewers at B10 or .48 AUD each were excellent, the other small rolls were only average. I will certainly return just for the skewers alone. 🙂

I did return 4 days later.

Enjoyed 4 chicken skewers then took home another 6 for a total cost of B100, or $4.80 AUD.

New Soho Town Pattaya

At the moment the staff converge upon you as you arrive due to a lack of customers, no doubt people will come once they know New Soho Town Pattaya exists.

The Temple

Take off your shoes if you are using the stairs.

This guy is very impressive.

I’m guessing it’s a Chinese serpent. 🙂

From another angle. 🙂

With the temple in the background.

Thanks for visiting my New Soho Town Pattaya photo blog. I will return soon, it’s only six or seven minutes walk from where I live in Soi one. Just head for the black circle.

Chinese restaurant Pattaya

September 24, 2019 by David Herd

Chinese restaurant Pattaya

Chinese restaurant Pattaya Hou Va Tim is an interesting “hole in the wall” venue in 2nd Rd opposite Soi 7. Small & noise with interesting Chinese food.

Fresh seafood

On my first visit in September 2019 I only had a soup & a small prawn & egg dish, next visit I will try the seafood.

Chinese restaurant Pattaya with open kitchen

It’s always nice to be able to see them actually cooking. As you can see everything looks clean and organized.

Wonton soup was excellent

An extra large bowl of piping hot soup for B50, or $2.40 AUD.

Shrimp & egg

This dish was ok, but I would not really recommend it, from memory it also comes with larger prawns instead of shrimp which would be a better choice I’m sure.

Small & a little noisy

Which is normal when you get a group of 6 to 8 people dining. 🙂

No space on the wall.

Not sure what this all means, but I’m sure the staff knows. 🙂

Looking through the front door at 2nd Rd

Cross 2nd Rd to get to Soi 7.

Just look for the yellow sign

Quite easy to find if you look for the yellow sign.

Great Pattaya German Restaurant

April 7, 2017 by David Herd

As good as any restaurant in Pattaya.

Great Pattaya German Restaurant

Great Pattaya German Restaurant located in Soi 33 off naklua Rd just north of the Dolphin roundabout. It’s one of many very good restaurants in the lively busy Soi.

Two sections

The outoor & open area as you can see in the photo plus the air conditioned bakery in the first photo which is where I prefer to eat.

Lets talk about the food

It is such good value for the excellent quality. I guessing 80% of the customers are German, in fact the Naklua area is where they prefer to live.

Lots of healthy entres

Leckerle have a large menu to choose from, all dishes are reasonably priced.

However this one is my favourite

Pea soup with German sausage. The good news is that it’s the best I have ever tasted, the bad news is it is rather filling and I have to settle for a small 2nd course. 🙂

Everyone loves the soup

Here is my good friend from Australia Geoff Robinson & his Thai lady Nana, they agree with me that Leckerle is great value.

A wonderful waffle

What a way to finish.

More Aussie friends

The big guy Viv Kennelly is another friend from Australia, I introduced hiom & his friends to Leckerle in February 2017 & they likes it so much they returned the following evening. 🙂

Great Pattaya German Restaurant, another favourite dish

After the soup this is a small dish I often order, prawns & bacon on German bread, delicious.

Great Pattaya German Restaurant

Another tasty small dish I often have after the soup. Slices of ham on German bread.

Nice decor

Plus another bomus is they always seem to play very good background music from the 80s & 90s.

Hamish & I attack the Pork Knuckle

My friend Hamish Elton also loves his food & remarked the knucle was one of the best he has eaten in Pattaya.

Great Pattaya German Restaurant, monster schnitzel

You have to be pretty good on the fang to get through this one. 🙂

Even super tooth Ray Ebzery was a little overwhelmed.

To his credit he bravely battled through it. 🙂

Another excellent dish, Kasseler & Sauerkraut

Tender pork & sauerkraut. Kasseler in German cuisine is the name given to a salted (cured) and slightly smoked cut of pork similar to British gammon.

How many calories here?

Far too many to worry about, this pancake is sooooo good. 🙂

Xmas 2019

A lovely Xmas photo of some of the nice staff members.

Sabai Wing Soi 1 North Pattaya

Sabai Wing Soi 1, 3 swimming pools and nice rooms, 100 meters from BigC, & a 10 minute walk to Leckerle, great value at only $30 usd per night as of 2017. I live in the high-rise in the background, Markland. For a great room rate book here.
