On this occasion it was to visit a recently opened fast food venue located in the busy central area of Soi 13/2 (Post Office) off either Pattaya Beach Road or Second Road. It is called Smart Food, which opened just over a month ago. This is a small and spotlessly clean, bright and cheerful, outlet where you have a choice of eating your food inside at the modern style bar area or outside on the roadside path area with tables and chairs provided, or simply order your food to take away from the see through bar counter. They also offer a delivery service. The menu offers a range of 21 good quality recipes at extremely low prices! Indeed their menu contains a number of popular dishes such as Hot Dogs, Pancetta, (Bacon), Burgers and Pork Chops – and being Greek owned also includes a few Greek meat favourites such as Pork or Chicken Souvlaki (skewered meats) and Pork Gyros (cut from the Rotisserie). And when I said low prices – just read on – a long Bread Roll generously filled with either Pork Gyros, Pork Pancetta, or Pork Chops or Pork or skewers of Chicken Souvlaki or a good old fashioned Pork Burger – all served with Fried Potatoes, Tomatoes and Onions at a mere 49 baht. For all the above dishes, but with three skewers of your choice plus a glass of Coke or Sprite you pay 99 baht. The same goes for the other dishes, such as an offering of Pork Burger, 2 Pork Chops with Bread and fried Potatoes, or 2 Pork or Chicken Souvlaki, Burger (or Pork Chop), Bread, fried Potatoes, Tomatoes and Onions plus soft drink, again at 99 baht a plate. Specialty of the house is a dish containing 9 Pork Souvlaki skewers, Bread, Fried Potatoes, Tomatoes and Onions, plus a liter and half bottle of Coke for 299 baht. There are three extra dishes available for the Take Away Service (via WOW); they being Pork Gyros with Rice and Salad which is offered on Tuesday, 3 Pancettas with Rice and Salad on Thursdays, and 2 Pork Burgers with Rice and Salad on Saturdays – all three dishes at 65 baht each. (The Delivery fee for zones covering
central Pattaya to Pratamnak is 30 baht). No alcohol available. And so to the eating! We tried extremely tasty Pancetta – a specialty slightly fatty Bacon that is full of flavour and literally melts in the mouth. Then it was on to a dish of Pork Souvlaki – tender chunks of Pork loin served with Fries, Bread and a very good fresh Salad. The same can be said of the Pork Gyros, cut to order from the Rotating Grill, slices of moist Pork meat again served with Fries and the good Salad accompaniment – all washed down with Coke. So, what can one say about Smart Food; well it is not the kind of place one goes out to have a dining experience, but it is an extremely clean, friendly outlet serving generous amounts of good quality Meat dishes and all at amazingly low prices. Give them a go – you will not be disappointed! Located half way down Soi 13/2 – not far from the Post Office! Open every day from 10am until 10pm. Telephone 083 751 5503 for information and Take Away Service.
