glanville63, sssshhhhh its my local, yes its the best fish and chips about but its also my local watering hole. maybe its because he worked in michilin star restuarant and owned couple of hotels before he came here. was in one today off third road as i was in the area and it will be the last time. lakeside chips are the real mcCoy as in not out of a bag in a feezer, chips as they should be. but at 40 baht for san mig and good expat crowd with a view straight over the lake dont want it getting to popular. best have it timekeeprs way who has never been there and tried them and has a problem believing people.
dear marston,
you are making ASSumptions and only ASSes make ASSumptions
'''best have it timekeeprs way who has never been there and tried them and has a problem believing people''
marston, i can walk to the 9999 mini mart from my house and over the years, i have done so on very rare occasions to get unforeseen needed supplies but did not feel inclined to stay for a beer even when the only choice was going home to the stimulating company of the wife's visiting family
i could join the crowd of expat cheap charlies that inhabit the plaice (pun intended) but i choose not to
the fact that its morphed into a Lakeside chippy AND the 9999 minimart in the last two weeks with a little sitting area outside, does not make it any more attractive to me (sows ear/silk purse)
having said that, the fish and chip area's concrete seats look marginally more inviting than the big red high chairs that you 32 baht Leo boys with the tough tonka trucks covet so much
the cooling breezes ''straight over'' from the lake, i get for free everyday, not from the 45 degrees angle to it on a dust bowl corner, overlooking more grass than there is water
so as familiarity breeds contempt, the view or breeze such that it is at 9999, is not quite as appealing for me, as it clearly is for you
however, that said i hope it works for him/her (whoever it is and there are a few contenders in this thread), in fact i hope it grows into much more of a restaurant than the cheap charlie drinker it is now
i might try it then, as it is, i personally i would rather drive for 30 minutes right past 9999 minimart into town to the Jolly Friar/Village Chippy/Gooses to get my occasional Brit feed and avoid the expat BS banter that so adversely affects my appetite ............
