As you all knows,living in Thailand,especially Isaan make it hard to find a GOOD farang food.
Its hard to get and know the kind of product in our local supermarket that is with the closest taste to our farang's flavour (home countries).
So,from time to time I'll post pictures and reviews of products.Promise to do my best. hungry1
Today,I'll review Maionezze,yes!!maionzze! as you all know Its hard to find a proper maionezze in Thailand, NON SWEET MAIONEZZE is a very difficult task,but don't worry !! I have made the hardest task and all for you -Buriramians jumping8
I tried even "heinz" and couldn't believe it was SWEET !I don't know about you guys but its the first and only country I taste sweet maionezze.. confused1
This product you see in the picture "KRAFT" brand,is non sweet maionezze,and its even tastey !!go for it.I guarantee!! happy2
LOCATION : Tu-Vikit / V-Mart: Shelf Line 3 from the left.53 Baht. ::)
The bread you see in the picture is also from Tu-Vikit and is OK,made from Mix flour and kind of ok,the only problem with this bread is that it get dry so fast!even if you buy it on the very same moment they bake it. (you've been warned.. ;) ).
LOCATION : Tu-Vikit / V-Mart: Bakery section. 75 Baht
* Best place to buy bread is BIG-C ; ie:Baguettes,buns,etc,etc.. At the Bakery section in Big-C.
** For home made products (kind of farang OTOP..hehe..)There are very good products some French or thai are making and sold at the milk freezer (Vegetable section) products such as: Mustard,Pickels,pickeled fishes europe style,Liver patte,etc,etc.
Not expensive either, average of 70 B/Jar.

Thai-Farang meal. (chang included) party5

Daily sandwich..
Tunisian Tuna sandwich.. hungry1
Tunisians take the use of tuna to a new level (and it also helps that their canned variety of tuna is quite different and very tasty--very much like quality Italian canned tuna varieties.) In sandwich form, the Baguette is filled with tuna, harissa, olives, cucumbers and onions.
Sometimes with boiled egg also.
This is my Isaan Tunisia sandwich. (Olives on the side but no photo..sorry.).
>:D

Looks good,,,,,where & how much????????

BTW- "Tu-Vikit" is the only supermarket in Buriram that sells pickles,that include olives and cucambers pickled of course.
At Big-C have some black chinese olives but they taste way too salty sick1 maybe they good for cut to small pieces and add to some green salad. but not my "cup of tea", however I bought them twice as I was lazy to go to "Tu-Vikit"..
Any inputs here?? love5
-
Thats a nice try.. hehehe... guys make a list I'll talk with "Tu-Vikit" happy3

Products you would have like to see in our local supermarket , I'll start: blue cheese?! confused4
-
ANY natural cheese! Processed cheese, together with instant coffee and cats is the work of the devil >:D.

After 2 months of them not having any, Makro yesterday had real, yes real cheese !!!!!
New Zealand cheddar at Bt1400 for 2kg and some Aro local stuff for Bt700 or so for 2kg.
Sod's law is that I'm going away for a couple of weeks tomorrow and for sure there will not be any there when I get back. However, I don't really need 2kg of cheese and especially cheese I have not tasted. I was going to buy the NZ one but will see if I stop in Bangkok on the way back from Singapore and if so, I'll get some smaller amounts from Villa Market or that shop in Emporium.
Anyone tasted that NZ cheddar ?
-
New Zealand cheddar at Bt1400 for 2kg
700bt/kilo is rather expensive for basic NZ cheese. I always buy Mainland NZ Vintage, which is available in some of the larger Big C's and Lotus' at around 165bt a 250gm block (660bt/kg). However I always stock up when in Pattaya, buying 6-8kgs in Friendship supermarket at around 140bt a block (520bt/kg). Freezes well, (although has a shelf life of around 6 months as vacuum packed) and very tasty.
2 months ago bought Mainland Edam in Friendship (Buy 1, 1 free) which worked out at 320bt/kg. More like a cheddar than an Edam and also very tasty.

Where to find good simple pretzel snack in Buriram? ______
;D (I know the answer).
-
This is my first post to Buriram expats. Only found out about it yesterday. Noticed a few familiar names from Thai Visa. All this talk about not being able to find the right food got me thinking.
I enjoy some of the finer accompaniments to food such as Picallili,branston "style" pickle,pickled onions(shallots really),barbecue sauce,tartar sauce,marmalade to name a few. Where to get such things at a reasonable price??? I make it myself. Would be happy to supply others at reasonable cost if interested.
Let me know.
-
Hi, welcome to the forum,I'm surprised you knew about the forum only yesterday..anyway, tell us more about the things you're making,attaching pictures as well will be very helpfull and prices as well.
I know there's one french guy doing welll selling these stuff in "tuwikit" supermarket.. confused1
-
Wow. This forum is so much more relaxed than Thai Visa.Can't even mention the word "sell" on there.Thanks for that. I will get onto it. I usually only make enough for personnal consumption. I will make some more stuff and take some photos. Quite sure you don't want a picture of a half empty jar of picallili on the forum. How about a picture of my 6 year old daughter(one reason why the jar is half empty) smiling with yellow lips? Back soon.
-
Wellcome Starman.
I'm up for some Picallilli. Await details
A friend brought me a dozen jars of Branston 6 years ago. Just finishing off the last one! Well past it's sell by date but still perfect.

Ok, Its have been long time since we post here some recommendations and Tips on what and where to get good stuff in our local supermarkets in Buriram.
hungry1
1) Galric Butter (Frozen) in "Makro" which I happan to taste only lately.. and its really tastey and cost around 60-70 Baht for a big pack of 250G.
Find it in the frozen frindge area in "Makro" supermarket.
2) "Makro" bread.(Big size) yes..you'll be surprised how good it is for its price (29 Baht), it taste nothing like the 7-eleven bread, and if you're lucky you can catch it when its hot just out of the oven.
Find it in the Bakery area in "Makro" supermarket.
Your tips please. loco wave1

Makro also bake a very good large wholemeal loaf,,,,,,,37 baht BUT for some reason I've never seen it in the Buriram branch....maybe not enough demand.
But I regularly get 6 when I'm in the Korat branch,,,It freezes very well too.
-
Makro bread is very good, we use a loaf a day. It freezes well and has a good shelf life. At 29 baht it is good value - wish we had a Makro in Prakhon Chai.
Garlic butter from Muang Pizza is also very good.
-
PESTO in "Tuweekit" mall is very good. however abit pricy. to make a pesto is so easy but we lazy. party4
A very good selection of frozen meat in "Makro".
I like Makro, it is such a nice place to shopping for these kind of things for the house and kitchen , you can really find almost anything you would like to have in the fridge at home.
but only one problem there........................ THE SMELL ! brick1
