Italian restaurant

On Friday night before heading to Hang Out, we went with our friend Wicus to an Italian restaurant opposite the lake (on the main road to Big C).  We did try and catch the name of it, but afraid we failed dismally!  Wicus has eaten here before and is a fan of the place.


I chose a baked penne dish with tuna and the guys both ordered lasagne.  The food was good and the surroundings were excellent.  There's quite a large space outside the restaurant which is fenced off from the main road.  This is where the toilets are, though be aware that the ladies are squat!  Although the temperature has been much milder than usual there are more mosquitos around and so we chose to sit inside.  It was just as well really as there were sprinklings of rain on and off all night.













Now, not to take the shine off this restaurant but Mr John and I fancied pizza on Saturday night but neither one of us had enough energy to get on the bike and make the trip to Tesco Lotus.  As they say necessity is the mother of invention and we knew you could ring and place an order for delivery.  We didn't think this option had legs because our Thai is still fairly limited and consists, I believe, of the ability to talk "at" someone and not have a conversation.  For example, hello how are you, today is Wednesday, it is not raining, today it is hot....you get the idea. 

Anyway, on a whim, I got on the internet and looked up the appropriately named "pizza company".  Quite a bit was in English though some of the "action" tabs were in Thai but we managed to place an order and then waited to see what happened.  We knew it might result in nothing and one of us would still have to go out but as you can see they turned up!  Complete with the obligatory gazillion tomato sauce sachets that foreigners apparently need to eat pizza. 

Don't think I've ever been so excited about a food delivery.  And yes, it's not like your sister-in-laws, Dominos, Pizza Hut or whatever your favourite is - but it's amazing for Thailand and we didn't need to leave the house. 

I believe home delivery is also possible with KFC.........hmmmm
