#5329681 Shocked And Flabergasted At Rimping Today

Posted SausageKing on 2012-05-25 08:34:44

Sausage king is a high quality manufacture of hand made food products and we cater for everybody and with over 100 products i do believe there is something for everybody as our sales prove that.The type of customers we attract are as follows.

Number 1/ Australians
              2/Americans and Canadians Italian
              3/British
              4/Thai
              5/German
              6/French
              7/other mixed
In this order are sausage kings customer base which says by looking at the whole picture we cater for everybody's taste and that's why sausage has been successful where others may fail.Sausage king listens to what people want and always looking for new ways to keep the quality to the highest level.If sausage king stopped hand making products then you would see a quality drop for sure.as i said before sausage king serves 33 supermarkets as well as having the national contract for tops supermarket which i do not see and other western food company's there that sell in Rimping supermarket, Why ? One reason only is quality by sausage king.

I do know that some of you are friends with other smaller suppliers out their and you like to defend them but sausage king also wish them the best of luck in growing there business as its not easy believe me.

Don't forget we have hand made hot sausage rolls on sale today and tomorrow made in puff pastry with real Aussie butter. Rob.

#5325153 The New Dukes On The River

Posted WinnieTheKhwai on 2012-05-23 16:56:38

I also visited recently.   I liked it, though you probably need to order the nice stuff; I wouldn't go there to order a Phad Thai or whatever.  The Hanglay curry was nice, in that it was a big piece of pork-leg still on the bone; very nice presentation that I haven't seen elsewhere.   The the pomelo salad actually comes on top of a big fried Thab Thim fish, so really not expensive at 145 baht.    Also had some of the BBQd King Crab, though that wasn't that special.

Overall it looks very promising, and I will definitely be back. It's especially suited to a business lunch or dinner where you have guests in town who want Thai food, but you want to take them to something that's just a little nicer. The other option for that is Le Grand Lanna at the Oriental Dhara Dhevi, but to be honest the River Market is just as good and spacious, almost as nice looking, and a lot cheaper.

Isn't buying pre cooked food just laziness.Very few people I would suggest don't have kitchen. Buying mashed potaoes and  casserole packs when you can cook up more than you need at home, and leave what you dont use, in the fridge for another day. Maybe a poll on who uses the fresh food markets and saves heaps of money against buying at Rimping/Tops would confirm that the take away mentality is alive and well in CM.

That same logic can be applied to every consumer good under the sun.   Do you also buy freshly cut trees to carve your own furniture?   Do you buy cotton to make your own clothes?  Both of those would would save you heaps more money than just going to the store and buying pre-made items.  Does that mean you're just lazy?

Its really about convenience, I guess..   Just as you probably lack the time and the skills necessary to convert raw cotton to thread, weave it to cloth and then stitch your own clothes, the same concept applies to other people when it comes to preparing food.  

Some of us are not old retirees, with nothing better to do that waste our time cooking elaborate dinners while we wait to die.   Some of us have full time jobs where we put in 60, 80 hours a week and/ or don't know how to cook.    Sure I could squander what precious little free time I have left over in the week to try to prepare a casserole.   But I'd much rather drop a little coin on a pre-made one and be able to dedicate my remaining free time to more meaningful pursuits.

#5315251 A Not-So-Pleasant Stroll On Huay Kaew Road

Crossing traffic on foot in Thailand reminds me of an old arcade game called Frogger. With about the same results.

#5317433 For You Foodies - Pastry Shop

Posted eek on 2012-05-20 21:09:34

In Kad Suan Kaew food court area (basement, back food court area, near Subway sandwich shop), a pastry stall has opened. I confess that i did not eat any pastry, but my friend did, and said it was delicious (he had a cheese and ham croissant). The lady said she has the same concession stall in Siam Paragon, and trying it out in Chiang Mai. Free tasting also.

Just passing it on, as she seemed nice, the food apparently good, and free sampling.

Prices 25-35 baht.

For any potential cynics, i have NO association with this lady whatsoever!! Just told her that i would let people know, and happy to do so.

Up to you guys if you decide try, and what the verdict is.

Bon appetit

Cheaper than tuktuk consider the air con the safty the space etc..

Ok thanks,

Isn't it tuk-tuk for 100 baht too costly then ? I never know a taxi is just 120.

How about from city to airport ? Is the rate the same ?

If someone has to be that concerned about the cost of getting from the airport to town they probably can't afford to be here.

#4775691 Amari Rincome Hotel

Posted roger1999 on 2011-10-19 10:23:37

This is from their own website:


Amari Rincome Chiang Mai Closed For Redevelopment
Thailand-based ONYX Hospitality Group has announced that Amari Rincome Chiang Mai closed its doors on 30 April 2011 to facilitate an exciting new urban development project.

The 42-year old Amari Rincome is set within an expansive 1.8 hectares of land and situated along Nimmanhaeminda Road, an area in central Chiang Mai which has, in recent years, seen an emergence of chic and trendy retail spaces.

The current hotel site will be integrated into a larger redevelopment project which will include a vibrant lifestyle community mall featuring a landscaped plaza, retail areas, cinemas and restaurants.

A new, smaller Amari hotel will also be introduced when the project is completed in approximately 18 months’ time. The 85-room property will feature a fresh, modern perspective to complement the lively contemporary retail surroundings, with facilities including an all-day dining restaurant, meeting room and gymnasium.

“As the first international hotel in the early days of Chiang Mai’s international tourism growth, Amari Rincome has been an integral part of the local community for over 40 years,’’ said ONYX CEO Peter Henley.

‘’It is with sadness that we announce the end of this particular era for Amari Rincome. I would like to personally acknowledge the hard work and loyalty of all the staff who have all contributed to the hotel’s success over the years,’’ Henley added.

‘’We look forward with great anticipation to launching the all-new Amari hotel which will play an equally important role in the Chiang Mai community and in the continued growth of tourism of the area in the years ahead.’’

Shocking news. My fondest memory of Ian was a few years back at the Chiang Mai speedway go kart track where several of us spent a pleasant afternoon getting mildly toasted whilst karting. Ian, somewhat under the influence,  decided to get his ZZR1100 onto the track and went from 0 - 60 on the start/finish straight and off the end into a load of tyres - priceless and we all had a good laugh about that.

R.I.P mate.

Cheers,

Pikey.

A detail of my last skype communication with Ian.
The top of the box shows his last location, and his real name, which is Ian McDougall, just so we get that correct.
I still owe him $18.50, but I guess I'll meet him again sometime....Posted Image
