Grab Meal Review: Tonk Yum Ban Suan - "Fried Squid with Garlic on Rice", "Miang Shrimp", and a Warning on the Green Sauce
Ordered from: Tonk Yum Ban Suan Branch Sukhumvit 18 Price breakdown (2 items): Fried Squid with Garlic on Rice 89 Baht Miang Shrimp 198 Baht Starting off with the warning. If you get the innocuous looking green sauce with any of your dishs (they provide it commonly) be aware that it is an extremely spicy sauce. I tried it, being more worried that it might have ginger in it then that it might be hot, and had to run to wash off my tongue. With the basil taste to it I suspect it might be a v...

Grab Meal Review: Tonk Yum Ban Suan - "Peeled Tilapia on Rice (Delicious Sauce)", "Fried Pork Belly with Salt *Side Dish", and "Fried Shrimp with Garlic on Rice"
Ordered from: Tonk Yum Ban Suan Branch Sukhumvit 18 Price breakdown (3 items): Peeled Tilapia on Rice (Delicious Sauce) 89 Baht Fried Pork Belly with Salt *Side Dish 148 Baht Fried Shrimp with Garlic on Rice 96 Baht Starting off I'd like to point out that the "side dish" mystery continues. This order, which includes a "*Side Dish" item, does not come with any side dish at all. The only conclusion I can come to from this information is that side dish items are somehow themselves side dishes...

Grab Meal Review: Steak x One-Dried Food - "Grilled Salmon with Soy Sauce on Rice" and "Grilled Pork Neck"
Ordered from: Steak x One-Dried Food Chan to Chan Price breakdown (2 items): Grilled Salmon with Soy Sauce on Rice 229 Baht Grilled Pork Neck 135 Baht The grilled pork neck comes with fries, which are just as bland as last time (there is not an option to get this item on rice). Unlike what I'm used to with pork neck, it is unsliced, coming as a large single piece. It is mostly seasoned with black pepper, but isn't as severe a taste as with some of the other items from this restaurant. I t...

Grab Meal Review: Steak x One-Dried Food - "Teriyaki Chicken With Rice" and comments on the Salad
Ordered from: Steak x One-Dried Food Chan to Chan Price (1 item): 99 Baht The Teriyaki Chicken With Rice visually looks like sliced grilled chicken covered with the Saba soy sauce, however, appearances can be deceiving. It appears to be a mix of the soy sauce with the gravy, although the pepper is minimized significantly in comparison. It's still slightly over-peppered, but not to the degree of spoiling the dish. I would not call this Teriyaki, but it isn't unpleasant. The separated sauc...

Grab Meal Review: Steak x One-Dried Food - "Chicken Steak on Rice" with "Gravy", "Grilled Saba with Soy Sauce on Rice", and "Bbq Chicken Steak"
Ordered from: Steak x One-Dried Food Chan to Chan Price breakdown (3 items): Chicken Steak on Rice 99 Baht with sauce Gravy +0 Baht Grilled Saba with Soy Sauce on Rice 109 Baht Bbq Chicken Steak 105 Baht Each order asked if I wanted cutlery "Earn" or "Unagi". I was confused at this, as I know Unagi means eel in Japanese, and the restuarant uses another Japanese word, Saba, to refer to mackeral. With the order in front of me I can now ascertain that Earn means With Cutlery and Unagi (presum...

Ordered from: Tonk Yum Ban Suan Branch Sukhumvit 18 Price breakdown (2 items): Fried Pork Belly with Fish Sauce on Rice 89 Baht Miang Fried Tilapia 189 Baht with addon Clean Vegetables Set +36 Baht This review is more of an attempt at mystery resolution for a previous one. On a previous Grab Meal Review I'd had the item "Fried Pork Belly with Fish Sauce Side Dish", which cost more then the *on rice version. I had assumed, given the price difference, that the side dish version would be extr...

Grab Meal Review: Pa Lai Grilled Pork Napa - "Grilled Chicken Wings", "Grilled Calf With Thigh", "Garlic Chicken With Rice", & "Grilled Pork Neck"
Ordered from: Pa Lai Grilled Pork Napa Price breakdown (4 items): Grilled Chicken Wings 15 Baht per wing Grilled Calf With Thigh 60 Baht Garlic Chicken With Rice 60 Baht Grilled Pork Neck 89 Baht The neck pork is fatty and seasoned with salt and pepper. The seasoning works excellently, and I quite like it. It would go great on a salad to counter the fat. On its own the fattiness would make it hard to eat all of, despite how good it tastes. The calf thigh tastes honeyed and a tad salty wi...

Mama Meal Review: The Pizza Company - Hawaiian pizza
Ordered from: The Pizza Company Price (1 item): 379 Baht I don't do pizza anymore because I can't take lactose and I'm not comfortable supporting the beef and dairy industry with my money by buying items with cheese or steak. I also don't care much for either of those anyway, which made them easy to give up. My mother, however, does not share my inhibitions, so when she ordered from The Pizza Company (which is directly outside the Rattanachol hotel) I asked for her review. Everything my m...

Grab Meal Review: Tonk Yum Ban Suan - "Miang Fried Tilapia" & "Fried Pork Belly with Fish Sauce *Side Dish"
Ordered from: Tonk Yum Ban Suan Branch Sukhumvit 18 Price breakdown (2 items): Tilalia 189 Baht Fried Pork Belly Side 148 Baht The fish is crispy and not overly seasoned. Tasted good, though. Tad dry? Came as two separate dishes as if for leftovers or sharing, with one on sticky rice and lettuce, and the other just on lettuce. Amount of fish was the same for both portions. It's a boney fish, so be careful. The pork belly (ordered as a side yet is more expensive the a full meal of the s...

Grab Meal Review: Fried Chicken Mueang Ling & Restaurant - "Big Grilled Pork Set" (20 Sticks, 4 Packs Rice)
Ordered from: Fried Chicken Mueang Ling & Restaurant... Price (1 item): 239 Baht Honeyed-tasting pork with plain rice. The pork was simple but nice, however you get less then I was expecting (referring to size, not number of sticks) given the "feeds 2 to 4" note in the item description. The rice wasn't fancy, but was lightly seasoned in some way. It's fine (tad undercooked?) but I expected more for the price. Maybe I'm stingy. Restuarant and item names in the title are written as pr...
