Central Festival food hall Pattaya
December 18, 2019by David Herd
Central Festival food hall
Central Festival food hall Pattaya has recently expanded with the entire basement offering an incredible range of delicious food. The section above is near the Beach Road entrance.
Thai seafood
Squid corner has many seafood options beside squid. 🙂
If you like your food on a stick
Then this is the place for you. 🙂
A nice looking bar for a beer or two.
There are so many great beers on offer in Pattaya.
The hanging ducks of Babylon
Or should I say the hanging ducks of Central Festival food hall Pattaya?
A bottle of wine perhaps?
One of the very few things I dislike about Thailand is the horrendous tax on wine. For a price comparison check out THIS LINK.
Good prices here…
Six for B100, or $4.80 AUD, great value.
Fabulous seafood range
You name it, they have it.
Mouth watering oysters from France
Enjoying fresh oysters is one of the great passions in my life, for confirmation just follow THIS LINK.
Now I wait for these to come on special
On special the price drops to B120 for 3. Today March 8th 2020 I ordered 9 for B360 & they gave me 2 extra for free. 🙂
Sydney Rock & Coffin Bay oysters from Australia.
The thought of these makes me homesick.
Shucker at work
My friend Hamish Elton was quicker than this guy, take a look HERE.
You gotta love oysters
A great way to start a meal, however my friend Mark Yagalla paid B640 fir 6 oysters & at a counter nearby I only paid B420, so the tip is to make sure you shop around. 🙂
Central Festival food hall
The perfect lunch, fresh prawns & salmon sashimi.
To finish off a perfect lunch
A truly iconic Thai classic, mango & sticky rice.
Grill Bar adjacent to or part of Tops supermarket.
Central Festival food hall Excellent coffee, + the custard tarts were very good also. 🙂
Low cost sandwiches
At B45 & B60 they are terrific value.
Aussie lamb chops
My friend Mark Yagala said these were the best chops he has ever eaten in Thailand, only B620 or $20 USD.
Back another day for oysters, prawns & sashimi
These are the same my friend paid B620 on another counter, my cost was B420.
Absolutely delicious
Fine de Claire from France.
A repeat of what I had a few days ago.
When you are on a good thing stick to it. 🙂
Mr Donuts
Starbucks change B115 for a latte, here at Mr Donuts I paid B93 for what you see.
Baked Ham & vegetables
Absolutely delirious & only B200 or $10 AUD.
Thanks for visiting my Central Festival food hall photo blog, I intend to have lunch here at least once a week in the future.
My history, particularly over the last 30 years is dominated by overseas travel. I sold my home in Australia October 20th 2011 and have have been living in Thailand since then. I don’t know where the time has gone? It seems like you go to sleep one night, wake up the next morning, and 20 years have flashed by. Not sure how many years I have left, however I have enjoyed a wonderful charmed life, and if it all ended today I would leave this world with no regrets.
I was born in Sydney halfway through the last century, started my travels in the 60s with the usual U.K. Europe adventure at the age of 20, back to Australia and worked in Sydney, Melbourne & Adelaide in Sales & Marketing with multinational companies including Sanyo, Canon & Remington.
Engaged to be married 3 times and never quite made it to the alter, finally realized by the mid 90s I was not cut out for "long term relationships" so I moved to the Gold Coast in Queensland in January 1987, worked for a couple of banks as a Financial Planner, I took a year off work in 1998 to travel and never went back to full time work again, after 25 fun filled years on the Coast I packed up and moved to Thailand.
What is the purpose of this blog? Well I really want to use it to record my travel experiences & to display my photographs, give and receive travel tips, comment on places I visit, restaurants I eat in and use it to replace the autobiography I intended to write, apart from all that it helps me fill in my day. :)
I moved to Thailand mainly because I wanted to keep travelling while my health allowed me to, there are huge advantages being closer to all the places I want to visit.
Cost of living in Thailand is around 35% of the cost in Australia, plus flights are 50% cheaper because you are much closer to everywhere. ????
Consequently I am able to travel to many more places compared to living in Australia.
Having said all that, it is & has always been my intention to return to Australia when my travelling is finished, I predict this will happen around 2021.
