Hi, I'm Chef Nooy and this is my recipe and you are mistaken.
If you have never eaten it here you DON'T know what you are talking about.

Looks ok to OT, this is the same sort of chow me in you would find in most Thai places. Of course there are different versions, for instance the chow mein you get from Chow individual, a popular chain restaurant all over the world, is just vegetables in a gravy sauce whereas chow mein ordered from a Chinese takeaway in England could be rice noodles with chicken or whatever. The Braised mince with cabbage you have described as chow mein is something new to me.

OT................ $\:D/$
Exactly. $\:D/$

no hard and fast rules with chow mein, must have plenty of egg noodles though, never seen one with mince and cabbage. looked fine as I said

Had a very good meal today. I had the Blueberry Pancake platter...delicious. It is refreshing for a Udon restaurant to "think outside the box" when it comes to their breakfast menu offerings. I also appreciate that I was offered a choice between coffee or orange juice. BTW, the orange juice was real orange juice.
My friend had a Mexican Platter, he said it was very good. So, I decided to take a platter home for dinner tonight.
Very affable owners. Competent staff. A/C comfort. I will be back.

As far as the chow mein issue goes...there are as many different styles of chow mein, as there different styles of fried rice: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chow_mein

Thanks so much JingJai for the review, Chef Nooy is all smiles.

How'd the take-home Enchiladas go? Hope to see you & our Oregonian buddy soon.

ALL: I suggested to the Chefs last night we should endeavour to make some black beans, like, you know, CARIBBEAN style etc. so more news on those later today after some cooking time.

And just like the subject line says, CHILI CON CARNE is our MEXICAN FOOD SPECIAL #2 for this week till Sunday. (see previous post above for Special #1 / Enchiladas.)

CHILI CON CARNE 120THB

Minced Beef, Chili, Green Peppers, Onion, Tomato spices etc.

It comes with a choice of either Bread (w/ butter) or Rice.

Completely agree about the quality of food and service but I actually wonder if those prices are sustainable. Seems too cheap to me.A 50bht increase on each dish would still be good value in my book .

Post by **Diary-Udon** » March 13, 2015, 8:46 am

100bht increase even better $\:D/$

Keep buying smoothies everyone

I would willingly pay more but if others didn't as well that would simply mean I was subsidising them. Is that what you want?
My suggestion was simply to assure the continuing welfare of the "Diary"for the benefit of all in the future. It doesn't take a mathematical genius to know that with rent , the salaries of five staff plus numerous other over heads, the prices currently charged for such excellent, in both quality and size dishes ,do not give a full reward to the chef for her hard work, nor for the initial investment in opening the place.I know its none of my business but its been a long time coming finding a gem like this. I would hate to lose it for the sake of paying her a reasonable reward for her efforts . :-"

Spot on Val. =D>

I haven't eaten there yet, but am looking forward to doing so.

How many good places have we seen go out of business, because they feel the need to keep their prices at an unsustainable level, so they can compete with the dross?

Post by **noosard** » March 13, 2015, 7:32 pm

Top meals

Didn't wait too long
