Tomcat Eats OutThe best restaurant reviews. Mainly by Tomcat but we'll move any well written reviews here too.
As ever, sponsored by the very lovely Chris at Oh My Cod!
Both of these fast food places normally have long lines to get in so SD and I assumed their popularity was based on tasty, cheap food. Well, in the case of S'nS, we got the cheap part right...all you can boil for B219 plus a determined treadmill of mystery sushi and other tidbits. We waited an hour to get in (mostly in the B2S bookstore, which is not as wonderful as it appears...just large) and be seated on fixed-in-place wooden stools meant for Lilliputians...I could barely squeeze my legs under the counter as my cheeks desperately gripped the tiny seating platform. Service was fast, dishes were cleared quickly and unlimited soft drinks (included in the bill) appeared on demand. IMO, however, all this is not worth the effort: steam from the mini-boil pot blew directly in my face, various utensils got in the way of the food (should I use a strainer, a soup spoon, or just rescue the cabbage leaf with my chopsticks?), and, as we were seated so closely together, SD threatened to take a nip out of my elbow. So, no repeat visit planned....like teaching in Thailand, too much work for too little reward. One thing we did notice: Thai diners were packing it away like troopers. I was amazed at the 85 lb wisps assaulting the treadmill with confidence and determination (there is apparently a time limit on each seat).
The wait at Mosburger was only 25 minutes and, according to SD, worth it. He informed me that his dripping burger was the best he's ever had, though the sauce was a tad sweet. Not a beefeater (I also dislike the gin), I had deepfried seafood bits on a bun. OK, but not wonderful. The fries were also OK: served hot and not greasy. SD may go again, but I was put off by hiso spawn mewling into their mobiles, demon infants demanding care, and oblivious parents silently wishing they had used condoms.

I just can't imagine you Tomcat in one of those all-you-can-it-boil-it-to-death establishments but you have to try everything once I suppose.
I got dragged in to one of them a couple of weeks ago (I think it was Dailomon but I wasn't really paying attention) and I don't think I've ever sat anywhere and been surrounded by so much stainless steel - apart from a hospital that is. But who am I to criticize somewhere that has Thais queuing up three deep outside? They must be doing something right.

well, you can sit at the table if there's more than 2 ppl,.. maybe that would be better. I do enjoy shabushi, but i hate sitting at the bar too. Never tried Mos Burger.. i don't know whats recommended? the rice burgers?
Opie bro, didnt Aunt Bee tell you MOS closed here.

They have a shabu shabu here in Korea. It is a spin-off of the one in Thailand; and I presume it is originally Japanese?
I wasn't really impressed with it, since sitting on the floor under a midget table, cramps the legs after awhile. I also didn't like how we had to share the same big croc pot of mish mash, that the ajumma, kept shooting in the pot. Sharing food with chopsticks is just gross. Needless to say, I won't be returning.

Then you will not enjoy MK here in Thailand. Thai's version of suki yaki. You either love it or hate it. Matty and I are on the love side, as they do great duck, red roasted pork and dim sum. But many will beg to differ. Damn fun with lots of beer.

Bit of a zoo at Mos Burger, I agree. They do a decent NE Clam Chowda though.
