i_love_som_tam Posted April 28, 2009 Report Share Posted April 28, 2009 Having been a military brat and moving all around the USA and then working and travelling abroad, I have come across quite a few enjoyable restaurants. Here are just a few of my favorites. Do you have any? Henry's Hi-Life, San Jose, California. Great ribs, chicken and chops: The Cat's Meow, New Orleans, Louisiana. The best Oyster Poor Boy sandwich ever : The BBQ Hut, Patong Beach, Thailand: The best Mexican food on the island. The BBQ Ribs aren't bad either: The Gumbo Shop, New Orleans, Louisiana. Great gumbo: The Blue Parrot Bar, Pattaya, Thailand. Great Chimichangas: Longhi's, Lahaina, Maui, Hawaii. Great oven baked omelettes: Nanai BBQ Buffet, Patong Beach, Thailand. Can't beat all you can eat for 120 Baht: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeeMarc Posted April 28, 2009 Report Share Posted April 28, 2009 for me there are just too many to say here... right now Im reminded of Ku De Ta in Baii... But then, I have a favourite place in Essourira, Morroco....places in India,... er.... all over Asia in fact. even the little place north Sydney, on Pitwater, when I used to sail. Its only accessable by the jetty and makes the best fish and chips. Oh ****... then there is melbourne... er... Europe... Overload!!! :shock: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin_2 Posted April 28, 2009 Report Share Posted April 28, 2009 The Sunset Bar and Grill right outside of Boston. Really good food and atmosphere...and: 112 beers on tap 380 different kinds of bottled beers It can be quite overwhelming at first, but you find those few extra special ones that are perfect. http://www.allstonsfinest.com/allstonsfinest/sunsetgrillandtap/sunsetgrill&tap.swf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
English_Bob Posted April 28, 2009 Report Share Posted April 28, 2009 Harry's Bar - Venice... home of the Bellini. And Le Bouchon - great little French Bistro hidden down Patpong Soi 2 of all places - but worth finding! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

breakofdawning Posted May 5, 2009 Report Share Posted May 5, 2009 Siem Reap Bopha Restaurant for their Chocolate Crepe FCC Angkor for their excellent pizzas, home made bread and sangria (although I can only take one sip before having to take my allergy pills) For traditional Khmer food, I like Khmer Kitchen on pub street Hong Kong - Dim Sum at Ho Choi near Yau Ma Tei Station!!! Macau - African Chicken at Fat Siu Lau on Rua De La Felicidad Bangkok - Thai food at Banana Leaf Silom Complex Italian Food - Airplane Luang Suan for the best pizza and tiramisu in town! That should be enough for now, before i'm getting hungry again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stramash Posted May 5, 2009 Report Share Posted May 5, 2009 I loved Chez Andy on Samui, purely because I spent a lot of time in Austria as a child and love wiener schnitzel and Chez Andy served the best one I had tasted east of Salzburg. In Scotland, I love the Kishorn Seafood Bar in Lochinver with stunning views over to Skye and some of the best local seafood you can find.
