Thailand Expats - Liquorice ... mush have liquorice

Greatdane · #1 08-02-2010, 18:28

Do you know of any shops in Patong that sell liquorice? I don't care if it is sweet or salt, I just need a fix. Phuket Town will do too - I am willing to go a long way for a fix.

Also I would like to get fresh chives for my eggs. I have tried Carrefour and Banzhaan, but either I am blind or I will need to find chives somewhere else.

I haven't seen chives anywhere but you can buy the liquorce from me. I've sent you a PM with my location I'll be in stock again on Wednesday.

I know where to find your shop - actually, I was in there yesterday in hope of getting a fix. I will come back Wednesday - if I survive that long.

Only places I have found --- except for FM --- is a minimart up in Bang Tao. There is also a Tailor (?!!) here in Kamala who sells the Swedish stuff during the high season.

Always bring from DK because i know how difficult it is to get in LOS...lots of (super piratos).......

I've tried growing (Legal!)herbs on the windowsill but they keep dying on me. gotta change my soil mix I reckon. Have a wander round the markets to see if you can find an alternative to chives. Supercheap has a huge selection of stuff that I haven't got a clue what to do with. Nibble your way around.

I did bring some packs with PP Gajol. I had actually bought a lot as they were on sale in Netto, and I knew that I couldn't get them here. But my weight limit only allowed me to bring 5 packs.

I have 67 packs waiting for me at home

Only two Thai girls in there, and somehow I figured you were not one of them. Was that a mistake?

I don't drink wine, and I need a more precise definition of "Italian food". It's like food from everywhere else. Some of it I like, some of it I don't like. I don't like pizza, and I don't like fish. My worst dining experience ever was in Italy. A 5 course meal and all of them was fish - even the dessert, AAARGH!

Or use Turkish Airlines - they allow 30 Kg, while SAS only allow 20 Kg.

Or maybe I will not bring my computer monitor [1]. I can buy a monitor here, and then use the spared weight for liquorice and other important stuff - like chocolate.

[1] Or maybe some nice expat BM will store the monitor and my pc speakers for me from April to September? He will of course be welcome to use both while I am not here.

We have storage lockers at our apartments ............for regular customers 555!

Evilbaz · #14 09-02-2010, 07:39

Never seen chives Kim.
The next best would be ton hom - spring onions - which are readily available in Carrefour and Banzaan markets.
You could just use the young tops and use the rest for stirfrys.

LivinLOS · #15 09-02-2010, 08:04

I use the **** end of spring onions as a substitute for potato salads.. Not really the same tho but its works in a same same but different kinda way.

Evilbaz · #16 09-02-2010, 08:09

mmmm - haven't made a potato salad for a while.
Thanks LiL

LivinLOS · #17 09-02-2010, 08:14

Had a BBQ up at the villa before.. One of my mates comments on where I got the chives and I replied with the "nah I just use the ar5e end of spring onions".. Got a "regular ****ing delia smith isnt he"..

Greatdane · #18 09-02-2010, 09:51

At first I actually thought that I had found chives - but it turned out to be the top of spring onions. And I was wondering, how different the taste would be. I will give it a try next time, thanks guys.

Don't worry, as promised earlier, I will come and see the apartments before I go home. But I am not yet sure, if I will need a house or an apartment next time.

Besides, where I am staying now I have a swimming pool, and I must admit that that is very nice to have. So I might also want a pool the next time.

For the rate your paying, its one of the best deals around.. Pool, wifi, widescreen LCD TV, kitchen, nicely furnished, etc for a hair over 800 baht a night. A steal..

I'm not changing now. I don't know yet what I will do the next time around.

Heh, that could be a solution. But I can only buy at store prices, so that would make it expensive for you/your customers. But then again, in need of a fix, one will pay almost anything (oh, forget I said that until after Wednesday).

Thanks Seri if only I was interested in balding farang men!!5555 Better to bring a couple of bottles from Aus it's twice as expensive here for average quality vino. Hey you wouldn't bring a box of Aussie style liquorice straps would you?

It still would be cheaper than buying it in Thailand! At the moment I am selling bags of godis 210g for 190baht.

Green Mango on Nanai rd usually has some Djungelvrål in stock, drop by and have a look.
