Siam Asia Shop – Smile included

Wädenswil – Last week, I wasn’t in the mood to cook something for lunch. I haven’t had Asian food for ages and so I thought I’ll go again to Poo’s Siam Asia Shop for something to take home. You can do take away with daily changing menus or sit down for lunch or an early dinner and choose something à la carte.There are some 20 seats inside and some outside on the little terrace. If you want to cook for yourself, they even have a small Asian grocery selection.

If you are looking for a special catering, Poo and her staff do this as well. I was lucky and experienced it already many times and everything was just delicious and the guests always excited.

Chinachilcano – China, Peru and Japan under one roof

Washington D.C. – I flicked through some interior design magazine and found this wonderful place. The stylish atmosphere and decoration is indeed worth a visit. We went on a Monday evening and it was packed! It is indeed a very multicultural place for people at every age – from a casual dressed student to the business men in a suit.

We had pisco sour to start – unfortunately not comparable with the ones I had in South America…but the food made us forgiving. The menu is selected and you can choose from Chinese, Japanese to Peruvian kitchen but actually it is all mixed with each other in a way I never had. I specially want to mention the “Causagiris”: Peruvian Causa married to Japanese Sushi….and the “Ceviche Nikkei”: Ceviche with soy sauce and much more.

I really wonder why there is no such restaurant in Zurich? Or even in Switzerland, please tell me if you know of anything similar!

Washington D.C. – Take a taxi and reach the market zone of DC. In the middle of the Asian fruit trucks and their loading zones, you will find this big rectangular building. It contains a variety of food stalls where you can stroll along and taste different foods and drinks. There were also some that offer a seated area to enjoy a proper meal.

Razzia restaurant and bar

Zurich – We booked about 6 weeks in advance as the Razzia (a former cinema of the 20ies and a club of the 2000’s) is very popular since its re-opening as a restaurant in May 2014.

The interior is breathtakingly beautiful. You can imagine people visiting the cinema in the old times. Even the toilets are decorated in the same style and you can see the love for every little detail.

The food was really good and I was happy I shared the “Vermicelle” (Spaghetti made of chestnut purée, served with whipped cream, meringue and caramelized nuts) with my friend, as I think this was almost the best dish this evening.

The red wine “Veran” from Mallorca rounded the evening and was worth the price.

Shochu Lounge – Say it again – louder?

London – If you are in London and want to enjoy some Asian food in tapas-style size you should go to Shochu Lounge. The restaurant is located in a cellar under Roka restaurant. But if you plan a romantic dinner or would like to discuss something this might be not the right place as it is quite loud thanks to the house DJ in the middle of the restaurant.

I guess we must have been VERY hungry that there are not more photos of the food….

Keo Inn, best Thai in town with its special charme just next to Langstrasse.

Never to forget Poo’s Asia Shop and Take away in Wädenswil http://www.siamasiashop.ch

Zurich – My favourite Thai restaurant in Zurich is the Keo Inn as the food is very authentic and service very nice and attentive. They even have the marinated chicken in pandanus leaves, one of my preferred. The Keo Inn is open 365 days a year and the atmosphere very relaxed and you feel comfortable in a suit directly after work or in a casual dress.

Zurich – I have already written about Hiltl in an earlier post. Last week I went again for lunch….I cannot explain, but although I love meat, the vegetarian food and the cool and relaxed atmosphere is unbeaten. The former animal shop around the corner is now the vegetarian butchery attached to the Hiltl concept – how applicable!

Zurich – Last week I went to the Ah-Hua for lunch. I haven’t been there for a while. The concept in the middle of the city of Zurich did not change. You can get good authentic Thai kitchen for a reasonable price. If you have an important meeting afterwards I recommend to leave the jacket at the wardrobe at the entrance.
