Anybody tried them yet? Sounds expensive

[Pichai]

Many of my Satuk customers speak highly of this Swiss run restaurant. Mr. Bob lives in Satuk and has been to lunch and dinner several times. He hands out the cards for this Ruangsangthai customer (Mr. John and his wife have bought many items at my store) as well as cards and maps to other Buriram Restaurants. I will stop for the lunch on one of my building site visits in Satuk this January. Mr. Bob states the set lunch menu is very reasonable but the dinner prices are more costly than Book 'n Bed, but less than the Amari Hotel Restaurant and less than the Klim Hotel Restaurant. Mr. Bob claims it is quite different from any other Satuk Restaurant.  It does not serve Thai food as most expat run restaurants offer such dining options.

I enjoyed an excellent lunch today in Satuk. I met the owners of this cozy Steak restaurant. John from Switzerland and Khun Chotiya his wife are excellent hosts. I made a visit to a home building site near Satuk and then the building contractor joined me for lunch on a rare few hours outside of the Buriram Builders Merchants Store.  I will be inside Ruangsangthai the rest of today, but I can recommend lunch at the Swiss Steak Restaurant in Satuk.

strip loin? Is that an Americanism? Just sounds very naughty to me.

What I know about is that, the  Strip loin is cut from the Short loin, the sirloin is cut from the sirloin (but I am not a butcher )

Edit: The only thing that will get a lot of questions on that menu board is, "What is Pommes" 55555

Ps: It's French Fries

What caught my attention was "Swiss Steak House"; does that mean they specialize in "Swiss Steak"?  Evidently not; and probably wouldn't be a very good idea, in the areas of marketing and merchandising. 

And you are quite right - what the heck is Pommes?  Hmmm - french fries - so be it!

Very Good observation Bill.  The Steak Restaurant in Satuk does not cook "Swiss Steak" as that dish is known in America. It is a Swiss expat who wrote the menu and selected the name for his wife's restaurant.  Mr. Moses enjoyed lunch today on Friday in Satuk and sent this photo. Mr. Moses will be back at Ruangsangthai serving customers on Sunday.

Surely "pommes" are apples?

French fries would be "frites" or "pommes de terre frites", wouldn't they?

Maybe Davu can help on this.

There is a "Swiss House" restaurant just outside of Lahan Sai with similar situation.

After deep reflection on this particularly important subject, I think that the restaurateur is a Zürcher or somewhere around there, maybe Baden, where they refer to chips (French fries) as 'pommes' with the e being pronounced. A Swiss guy from the Romandie would never write the menu in English or German, but they call them pommes frites or just frites down there. Definitely not  pomm- es. Pommes frites or simply frites is more sort of Bern dialect. I think... everything clear? Looking forward to Dumdeeke's take on this.

That'll be Chips then !! 

[dundeemk6]

une pomme = an apple
une pomme de terre = a potatoe
des pommes frites / des frites = french fries

in Germany and Switserland people refer to french fries as "pommes"
in Belgium and France : des frites / des pommes frites / des patates frites
in England : chips / french fries
in Holland : frieten / een bakje patat
in Spain : papas fritas

[toffo]

In England it's chips.. It's never French fries.. Hey mom can I have French fries for Dinner would never be said ha

[Freddy]

Like I said....that'll be Chips then .....however many UK restaurants, cafes, takeaways do now list as French Fries. It's just wrong!!
