[QUOTE=Pita123;1381907]Nice non-profit restaurant for tourists. I say that because the food is blander than it really should be.[/QUOTE][QUOTE=NicFrenchy;1381968]they also have a resort in Pattaya. Food's tasteless and aimed at clueless tourists, Avoid.[/QUOTE]I agree with you guys. Nothing is worse than eating bland Thai food. It is hard enough trying to find a good Thai restaurant in South Florida. I don't fly 23 hours MIA to BKK in order to get served the same sort of bland dishes I can find in Fort Lauderdale or indulge for that matter in the same style P4P available in my neck of the woods. I have no use for Farang Thai style restaurants that water down the flavor to suit tourists or cut costs. I am not necessarily talking about heat. Some Thai dishes are not meant to be hot, but all Thai cuisine is meant to be flavorful due to the rather liberal and complex use of herbs and seasonings employed by genuine Thai cooks. And when certain Thai dishes ARE meant to be hot, they should never be damped down for any reason. I hate it when I am asked how hot I want something. Serve it to me the way the cook would eat it. Better yet, don't ask because when a restaurant starts to ask this question it means they have already crossed the line and made certain compromises.
Besides Cabbages, Suda is another popular Thai tourist restaurant catering to the tastes of foreigners, specializing in bland food, and not serving the real deal.
