FOOUR PATTAYA RESTAURANTS REVIEWED BY “FRUGAL FREDDY” EXPAT GROUP

The goal of the group is to find restaurants that we can get a complete meal, (Meat, vegetable, potatoes/rice, desert and soft drink) for less than B200. It has called the “Frugal Freddy” group with the goal to explore and eat at the cheapest, best valued, restaurants in Pattaya and report to the expat community our findings. Times are hard for some so it’s really important to get value for money and clean, good tasting food. This group will help.

We originally called ourselves the “Cheap Charlie” dinner group but decided that we wanted to be two levels above the “Balloon Chasers” not one. Most of us live here and are on a budget so do not dine at places like Manhattan or Mantra but envy those who can afford to and do so.

We are targeting restaurants that serve European/continental food as the main feature and have Thai dishes for those who prefer Thai. We will feature a new restaurant every Monday and get together at 6pm. If you are interested in getting on our email list and joining us some Monday evening, or suggesting a restaurant or volunteering your restaurant that meets the above guidelines e-mail me at Hawaiibob4you@yahoo.com.
 

On our first outing, we went to a new Japanese Restaurant on 3^rd Road just North of Xzyite Disco called Wasabi Tei and the evening was a overwhelming success. The restaurant is open air with inside and outside seating for only about 25 people and while they were ill prepared for our invasion of 15 people, at one time they were so appreciative of the business that they gave all of us a 10% discount off our bill. They had set menus from B89 – B109 for chicken, fish, and pork over rice Plus salad, soup, and kimchee. Soft drinks were only B15 so this was a terrific bargain without our 10% discount and ultra inexpensive with it.
