Title: Restaurants in Prakhon Chai
Post by: finnomick on September 13, 2012, 08:27:25 PM
I actually got a pass last sunday so went to Prakhon Chai for some breakfast. I'd been told earlier in the week about a restaurant near the bus station but because it was small, it was easy to miss. But, it would be open on a sunday. It wasn't that hard to find, it's just opposite the police office. Very clean. Nice furniture. At first glance of the menu, I thought it marginally dearer than the other restaurants, but when the breakfast arrived the quality and amount of food on the plate justified the extra few baht. So I returned today with the misses who would sample the Thai cuisine and that got a thumbs-up too. So Panom Rung Sydney Restaurant, you've got our votes for future visits.

errrrr....no admin. The name of the restaurant is Panom Rung - Sydney ( as mentioned in my original posting ). It's about 200 meters up the road from Coffee Corner on the same side of the road.

Apart from the menu shown on the Coffee Corner web site, the new owners now provide an extensive range of Mexican food. which has yet to be uploaded to their website,

Have tried some - excellent.

Notwithstanding our previous ( and un-enjoyable ) visit to Coffee Corner in Prakhon Chai, seven of us went there to eat yesterday evening. Four people ate Thai food, and three of us including the misses ate ' foreign ' food. The Thai food arrived first, so they all tucked in. The misses ordered a mixed grill. When it was served, a comment was made asking us if that food was for the three of us. Errr, no, this was just for the misses. I have never seen a plate that large in Thailand before, and the sheer quantity of food amazed the two ' foreigners ' sitting at the table. Of course, the misses was licking her lips. We, the two ' foreigners ' wondered if it wasn't too late to change what we had ordered to another two mixed grills. If I remember correctly from left to right -- large sausage, bacon, steak, pork steak, liver, chicken. Up to the top of the plate, grilled tomato, onions, peas, chips and a fried egg with a schooner of gravy to drown it all. The misses nearly managed to eat it all, giving me a taster along the row. Very, very tasty is my comment. She's finding it a bit hard to waddle around this morning being somewhat ' im ' . So, in our eyes ( and stomach's ), Coffee Corner has more than redeemed itself and I'll be asking for a mixed grill next time.

I went to Coffee Corner for the first time yesterday.  Good service, satisfactory to good food, very helpful to one of our party who has dietary problems,  decent helpings, nice surroundings.  People in Prakhonchai are lucky if they have two restaurants of that quality (and a German one which was shut yesterday).

It's a pity you didn't advise in advance that you were coming to Prakhonchai. There are a few of us down here that would like to meet you.  Perhaps meet up at the Surin Farang party on 6th January.

I would like to meet you all too.  I'm not sure about the party on Jan 6th;  I have to go to Chiangmai and Nan  in January, and the timing, still not settled, is not within my control.  This particular visit to Prakhonchai was with a school-friend and his wife;  I hadn't seen them for 30 years or so, and, for various reasons, we only had two days together!  So you'll understand why I didn't make contact.

Mick, you may find it hard to believe but there were 2 additional meat items on the original mixed grill !!

I had to cut back when customers complained about the size of it and I realised that there was over 800 grammes of meat......

That is the smaller version.

The missus (as usual) has corrected me, we actually reduced the chicken breast by 50g and took off the 150g piece of rump....

The big breakfast isn't bad. I can also strongly recommend Steven's wet Buritos.

Now we're talking Co-Co :biggrin:

Mixed grill for starters followed by the Wet Burritos should make for an interesting trip back to Buriram in the car :wacko:

If he is knocking out a few Mixed Grills and wet Burritos each day, he probably doesn't have the time :)
