Members scott456 Posted January 12 Members Share Posted January 12 On 1/3/2024 at 2:26 AM, Lucky said: On my first night in Bangkok this week, I went to Foodland to try the venerable cashew chicken as raved about by @vinapu. Only when the dish was served did I realize that this vinapu venerated concoction contained not a single cashew. Not one. Has Mr. Vinapu been joshing? I asked for assistance and an employee came to the table and couldn't figure out the problem. So I told him very simply "There are no cashews in the cashew chicken!" The remedy was to bring me a small bowl of cashews, but as chicken cashew lovers would attest, they taste much better when cooked in the dish. My rating of Foodland's cashew chicken...a 2! @Lucky, what's wrong with you? Lucky 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaybutton Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 When I go somewhere to eat, there is this crazy thing I do if I am dissatisfied. Next time I just go to eat somewhere else. I'm not a food snob by any means and I hope I'm not offending anyone, but if I were deciding where want to eat, on my list of places to go, eating at a Foodland would be way down at the bottom of my list. vinapu, scott456 and Foolish 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree. I tried foodland on my last trip cos it was convenient...except for the aircon and reasonable pricing, it wasn't something I would hanker for... vinapu 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
