Can you believe it I found there card!

the correct name is "Seafood Market and Restaraunt" and correct Bobmac 89 sukumvit soi 24!

what a pity if it has gone,I forgot about the big neon lobster,but it was such a novel idea and glad I got to go.

How quick does time go? I thought it was only about a year and ahalf ago that I went but was more than likley about 5 years.

I only went once, about 20 years ago, I remember well walking around with the shopping trolly and selecting my dinner. An excellent idea. I think there's a big hotel complex on the site now.

I was over in Phuket about a year ago now, Wow it was just amazing. I'm so jealous. I think the highlight was having the guide at the villa we stayed in taking us out in canoes over the mango groves.

There used to be a food reviewer on this site who used the moniker emdee, who wrote several years ago that the place was a rip-off, in that they overcharged for the food, didn't present all of the selected prawns on the dish, charged a big cooking fee on top of the overpriced seafood, and the alcohol was about 55% overpriced.

I didn't heed his advice, and for a simple meal of vegetables and prawns and a few bottles of Singha, I could have eaten much cheaper in Australia. I remember he also said it had all ambience of an aircraft hanger, which I concurred with as soon as we entered the building.

Perhaps it is a good thing that the place has gone. Also I think, but I can't be positive, that he said that the place was owned by a consortium of army generals and air force commanders,which is never a good thing in Thailand
