Mozaika, Prague

Mrs got her tuna.

Constant Consistency of the highest Consequence . . . 8^)

Orange Moon Flora Prague

Oh, we rank Orange Moon a step down from our favorites, but it is handy, at Flora, and it's not terrible . . . http://www.orangemoon.cz/flora-en/menu.html

The Tom Yum Kai was fine, but not memorable, if you see how I mean.

The Kai Sate was fine, but the chicken pieces were like chicken mcnuggets, if you see how I mean .. . .enough to share, too, rather than an individual serving . .  .

Mrs' Yum Woon Sen Salad better than fine, she had asked for extra spice.

She's So Money's duck Phet Phad Kuang Tung she enjoyed, but she had also asked for extra spice.

I got Phad Thai Kai, with extra spice . . . nuthin' wrong with it, with extra spice.

the $26 hotdog

We usta laugh about the $12 hamburgers we would get at special lunches at the 4seasons in SCX.

 

We marveled at the $17 hamburgers we get here in PRG.

 

But a $26 hotdog. It must be the end of days . . . .

Liszt in Budapest

around the corner from the Klassz Cafe . . . a pedestrian mall, with this action statue of Franz Liszt . . .

hittin' the high note . . .

Egy Vilaj - One world - Budapest Fine Arts Museum

agggh.

No Artist Name, and I can't find it on WWW.

 

After we'd had our cappacino and torte, we went in the room next to us, and I was so blown away with this picture I wanted to take a picture, but the guard said, "With Photo Ticket, Only!" so we went back upstairs and paid 300 Forint for the ticket then I dashed back down to grab the photo . . . Mrs was waiting upstairs, so, yeh, it's a little off-center and crooked . . . I'd a given anything for a poster of this, but not available . . . I think they mainly rely on a poster printing system, rather than having them instock, and the machine was down . . . but this art was worth the trip.

Klassz - Budapest

after the museum, we hiked back past Oktagon to Klassz . . .still on the up-scale avenue Andressy', which I take to mean Embassy Row . .  . from all the, er, Embassies . . . The travel book warned of long waits, but we waltzed right in -- was around 4pm -- but it did get busier as we sat.

 

Borzongas is kinduva droll name, but it was very fine, prosecco-like.

 

I had grilled duck foie gras . . . with what amounted to apple sauce . . . very fine apple sauce . . . coulda made a meal of just that, it was that good.

 

Mrs' had something which was equally amazing, but it photos not so well: blue cheese soup with pears . . . they served it with the cooked pears in the bottom of the bowl, then poured the hot soup on top of it . . . a nice presentation . . . we had not ever imagined blue cheese soup, much less how good it would be . . . 8^) . . .

 

then we kinda messed up, blog-wise, since we both got the duck on paprika risotto . . . dang it . . . the magyars do *something* to paprika dishes we don't quite understand, where they DO get some spice into it, when we just get a weak flavour . . . this risotto was awesome, the duck was awesome, the staff was awesome, the whole place is awesome. Loved it.
