Back in the day, foodcourts were one of the few places where you could pick up a plate of reasonably clean food (other than Maya and a precious few other places). My favorite foodcourt memory is circa first half of 1997, Big C foodcourt, lunchtime, in walk four youngish Thai guys with a bottle of Johnnie Black. They order up 4 bowls of soup and proceed to get knockered. That was one of the signs that something wasn't right with the economy or just the state of affairs in general. Sure enough, a few months later, the floor fell out.
Today, on rare occasion I buy a 100 Baht card at Central f/c.....and 50% of the time, I'll walk out and cash it in for 100 Baht. Nothing really wrong with the food......it's just not very good.
Agree you can get better food at thai places around town but parking, air conditioning and location can be an issue.

I find for general convenience the central food court good value.

I guess the 100s of lunch time diners every day agree too.

Food courts are what they are, cheap and basic food. That's not to say they won't taste good as in my experience they rarely disappoint. I almost always use the tesco one after a shop with the Mrs as she's spent all my cash. I'd always chose them over any fast food joints.

Agree. This noodle dish was quite good.

I agree with you mac.
I always get the crispy noodles (Mee Krob) or the stall which sells Duck next to the beer shop is also excellent.
The sauce they use is really tasty.

No Thanks.
I find the Central Food Court food bland, tasteless, tiny portion, expensive, quality price ratio very poor.. A place i avoid as much as i can. The other day i was taken to the Food court and served a shrimp fried rice. Fried rice ... FRIED ??? no way ... Shrimp fried rice ... One small shrimp..
If you ever tried the food court at Terminal 21 in BKK you would know what food should look like and taste like..

Wow, you and Hippo seem to eat there, way too often, though does give quite a few option, along w/ Tops food court.

Have y'all tried the quite inexpensive place, between Sophies, and Central Plaza. Soup stand out front, starting at 15, and up in 15 baht increments. Fresh stir-fries and what not inside, all fairly decent and priced for the 'thrifty minded'.... =D>

Indeed tops is good too but getting an empty table is usually a challenge.

It's fair value for money which I like but does the soup kitchen have air conditioning the same as central. I enjoy the free air conditioning at the food court.

Yes, but I noticed not on all the time. OK for locals, as tolerate 30 degrees better than myself, but comfy enough, and personally think food is much better. As stated, not a fan of CP food courts, along with lack of seating at Lunch / rush hours / weekends.

Sorry, he is happy to collect for the pocket money I presume

Your Pad Thai looks unappetizing, lacks colours.. Eating with your eyes first is half of the pleasure..I ll pass on this One.
Thanks anyway
Have a pleasant day.
