Central Plaza Food Court
Re: Central Plaza Food Court
I have always found the food court at old Tesco ok only ever ate Pad Thai when the cook got to know me I used to get huge serve usually more than I could eat for 50 baht but you need to be in and out before the lunch time rush/noise.
Re: RE: Re: Central Plaza Food Court
OT......... I think CP food court is one of the worst, if not the worst, AND expensive food court, and worst Central food court that I've been to.
I won't eat there.

The food court was packed out over the weekend, so I guess your in the minority.
Even week days lunchtime it's difficult to get a table.

Re: Central Plaza Food Court
eating out means to me eating something better as at home , so surely food courts are rarely on my menu ,
and even they appear not expensive i can do this a lot better and cheaper at home ...and in a quiet environment,
if you look close what you really get on your plate it isn't so cheap at all ...and not so good as at home ...
this is if you can cook of course

I stand corrected....GARYZX6R wrote:The worst Loki is the old Big C ,utter rubbish. Wouldnt feed my dog it.
Rarely there, as I loath that / Big C even more than Tesco Lotus as an anchor store, and concur, if having to choice, Big C food court would lose to Central's. That is sad.
Sadly, I've had a few too many plates and bowls of food, as the only game in town, before Lotus arrived, if not wanting to go into Chareonsri Grand Royal, way back when. Street food usually won out.
Wow.........how things changed, and so much for the better. With all the food options now, food courts are way down on the list of choices for us.
Re: Central Plaza Food Court
Back in the day, foodcourts were one of the few places where you could pick up a plate of reasonably clean food (other than Maya and a precious few other places). My favorite foodcourt memory is circa first half of 1997, Big C foodcourt, lunchtime, in walk four youngish Thai guys with a bottle of Johnnie Black. They order up 4 bowls of soup and proceed to get knockered. That was one of the signs that something wasn't right with the economy or just the state of affairs in general. Sure enough, a few months later, the floor fell out.12345 wrote:Wow.........how things changed, and so much for the better.

Today, on rare occasion I buy a 100 Baht card at Central f/c.....and 50% of the time, I'll walk out and cash it in for 100 Baht. Nothing really wrong with the food......it's just not very good.

Agree you can get better food at thai places around town but parking, air conditioning and location can be an issue.parrot wrote:Back in the day, foodcourts were one of the few places where you could pick up a plate of reasonably clean food (other than Maya and a precious few other places).

I find for general convenience the central food court good value.
I guess the 100s of lunch time diners every day agree too.

Re: Central Plaza Food Court
Food courts are what they are, cheap and basic food. That's not to say they won't taste good as in my experience they rarely disappoint. I almost always use the tesco one after a shop with the Mrs as she's spent all my cash. I'd always chose them over any fast food joints.

Agree. This noodle dish was quite good.neeemu wrote:Food courts are what they are, cheap and basic food. That's not to say they won't taste good as in my experience they rarely disappoint.

I always get the crispy noodles (Mee Krob) or the stall which sells Duck next to the beer shop is also excellent.
The sauce they use is really tasty.
Re: Central Plaza Food Court
Will have to try the duck...cheers

Re: Central Plaza Food Court
No Thanks.
I find the Central Food Court food bland, tasteless, tiny portion, expensive, quality price ratio very poor.. A place i avoid as much as i can. The other day i was taken to the Food court and served a shrimp fried rice. Fried rice ... FRIED ??? no way ... Shrimp fried rice ... One small shrimp..
If you ever tried the food court at Terminal 21 in BKK you would know what food should look like and taste like..
BKK Terminal 21 ...Black sesame noodles with crispy pork for 45 B.... Udon Central food court ..Fried rice for 55 B

Re: Central Plaza Food Court
Wow, you and Hippo seem to eat there, way too often, though does give quite a few option, along w/ Tops food court.
Have y'all tried the quite inexpensive place, between Sophies, and Central Plaza. Soup stand out front, starting at 15, and up in 15 baht increments. Fresh stir-fries and what not inside, all fairly decent and priced for the 'thrifty minded'.... =D>

Re: RE: Re: Central Plaza Food Court
Indeed tops is good too but getting an empty table is usually a challenge.12345 wrote:Wow, you and Hippo seem to eat there, way too often, though does give quite a few option, along w/ Tops food court.

It's fair value for money which I like but does the soup kitchen have air conditioning the same as central. I enjoy the free air conditioning at the food court.

Re: Central Plaza Food Court
Yes, but I noticed not on all the time. OK for locals, as tolerate 30 degrees better than myself, but comfy enough, and personally think food is much better. As stated, not a fan of CP food courts, along with lack of seating at Lunch / rush hours / weekends.
Re: Central Plaza Food Court
I forgot to take a photo yesterday but had durian and sticky rice desert. Very nice
