I find it hard to believe that you have lived in HH for over 3 years and don't know where Villa Market is. :banghead:

Sorry about the laziness, I have been and gone already and just looked it up on google. I cannot believe that I have been here 3 years and have never been into that place, it has some really good stuff in there, although somewhat expensive. Has anybody ever found dip for crisps? Or if you are American 'chips'?

Villa sells dips for crisps both fresh in the chiller part or in jars above the freezer cabinets.

Seriously, damn that place has a lot of quality stuff. I have no issues with Thai food, I love it in fact. But after a while the 30฿ meals get a bit tedious even if you go out for a steak at the weekend or w/e. The meat at the back looked pretty nice too.

They have an excellent selection of dips for chips. Prices are in the upper bracket but consider that they stock a wide variety of food items from Australia, the U.S. and Europe as well. Also, their fresh meat market has grade A quality meat. They are very helpful and will order for you what they don't have in stock. E.g. a fresh pork roast with pre-cut pork crisps. I've never been disappointed.

They won't sell you grog between 2 and 5pm.
Better and cheaper Villa Market!
Yea I am busy today and it totally slipped my mind that they won't sell til 5pm. Sorry where is the villa market?
Villa Market is a small to medium size supermarket shop with a large selection of farang foods. It's on the main drag on Petchasem Road. It has parking.

My brother had a visit to London and told me that the lemon in gin can actually be replaced with cucumber. I was very doubtful about the taste of this drink, gin and tonic with cucumber but after trying it out I must say, it does taste good. Now, how common is this in England or elsewhere?

Cucumber with Gin originated with Hendrick’s gin if I am not mistaken?

Gordon’s have or will soon launch a Crisp Cucumber, which is a blend of Original Gordon’s London Dry Gin with natural cucumber flavouring, intended to be mixed with tonic water.

Also don’t forget the gin martini with a pickled onion, replacing the olive, it’s called a Gibson :cheers:
