Why the apostrophe in MKs?

It is a correct way of expressing a plural of an abbreviated term in English. e.g. I bought a new pair of DM's today.

You have learnt something new today.

Love it.

Love the meats n vegies and the dim sum.....then the soup after its all done and gone......duck is ok, bbq pork nice, beef stew excellent...

I would think/hope being the size they are that they put effort into their sourcing of produce...whereas those 99b joints just take whatever is left over from the growers......you think they do not take some harsh chemicaled produce that was near near by insect invasion if the grower had not soaked it in poison ??....then they offload it to the 99b joints cheap to at least cover costs.

Only issue with MK is it is getting expensive now for what it actually is.

hate it  way overpriced and their duck is bad

If I wanted to eat with steam blowing in my face, I'd order from Oishi and have them deliver it to the sauna.

I have yet to find a REAL Pho broth in Thailand. Same issue, it's a complex recipe and it takes hours to create the broth. Not part of Thai food culture which is QUICK QUICK. Also Ramen broth traditionally a complex process to create. Not available at Oishi. I reckon there must be some places to get REAL Japanese style Ramen broth at least in Bangkok though, right?

Viet Pho noodles?  Yea,could never find a gud bowl myself!  Did have a gud bowl for 1$ in PP.  Vientiene had a gud heavily MSG laced bowl for a little over a dollar.  Taste was ok and got a gud buzz to boot!

Jap ramen should be relatively easy to find.  There is a Jap owned hotel with a bt139ish breakfast buffet on the same soi as Foodland off of Suk that has pastic displays of ramen.  I imagine that they would do a an okie bowl!  Never tried it.

Been around for 25 years, have 300+ restaurants, employ ~ 12,000 people, serve millions each year, revenue growing at ~ 8% (not sure I did the math but maybe 8 billion baht in revenue in 2010). They must be doing something right?

Go for the dancing (once); never return because it manages to take nice fresh ingredients and turn it into lumpy klong water.

[Caliguy]

It's all about the sauce.

Most Thais love MK but I do not.
In my opinion:
The prices are not low
The seats are uncomfortable
The decor is drab
The customer has to cook the food
The food is soaking wet

[jinjinswing]

Rather chew a piece of bamboo....boiled meat...boiled veggies...I do t boil anything but water at home so why should I pay to boil it there....

Amongst a sea of the most fantastic interesting food available, diverse beyond belief, with so many choices, why the hell would you eat at MK's, I ate their for my first and only time around Xmas.

Why, because my TGF wanted to, even then she thought it was a mistake, I've had duck way better in the chinatown mall in The valley Brisbane.
I also thought (comparatively for Thailand) it was quite overpriced.

[jinjinswing]

My TGF is amused with the almost 2 to 1 negative comments on MK, as she wanders off to bed she says i feel like MK tomorrow ...fat chance...

I like it, not a big fan on hot pot, but its ok from time to time.

We usually go there for the roast duck and crispy pork, it is really really good.

I wasn't a fan until I found out about the duck and pork.

Exactly the same as myself.

I do find the quality and freshness of food can vary. For example the food at MK in The Mall on Ramkampaeng ( a bit more up-market I guess) is much better than MK in the Big C complex (a bit more down-market) some 0.5km down the same road.
