Prague Restaurants with Modern Twist

-


It's our first lunch in Prague.  Klub Architektu is located next to the Betlémské Chapel. Situated at the basement and decoration as a cave adds atmosphere. A good impression right at the start.  It's modern and chic.  Lunch menu is served Monday to Sunday.  You've got a few choices of main courses.

We ordered Chicken thigh roll with red cabbage and dumplings from the lunch menu.  Chicken is my rare choice for Continental dining.  But this was good and I liked it.  The other dish was pappardella with salmon.  It was delicious, creamy but not too filling. Soup with bread or dessert were offered at 38kcduring lunch.  Of course, meal in Czechs Republic cannot go without beer.  Cheers!  It was served on our table.

Mozaika

My pen friend from Austria and her daughter came all way through from a small town to Prague to meet us.  Friendship is dear and precious.  We spent nice time together and here was our dinner on the second and also the last night.  Instead of common touristic restaurant, we took the underground to Mozaika for a touch of local modern food.  And it's good value for money.

Duck Liver Pâte with morels and foie gras

Rillettes of Klatovy Trout, home-made sour cream and shallot

Home Smoked Duck Breast with lemon jus and extra virgin olive oil 



We ordered a few appetizers to share.  All were fantastic!  Well seasoned, fresh was the trout in sour cream.  Smoked breast was tender, flavoured.  Duck liver mousse was smooth and velvet.  Believe that it was a rare dish for my European friends.  But they all loved it.


















For the main courses, only the salmon in Japanese way was disappointing as it was a bit rough and too tiny for a meal.  The beef and the salad were wonderfully tasty.


 

We took 3 desserts, twice the vanilla cheesecake and brownie.  Sumptuous! All the good food with water just cost 1600kc.  Awesome! This expression is very American and often heard from my half Czech and Polish ex-colleague, Alex.

Kbal Spean

Kbal Spean is a unique archaeological site situated 50km from the Siem Reap.   Religious stone cravings sit on the river banks and bed, 150m stretch of the Stung Kbal Spean River.     Kbal Spean is commonly known as the "Valley of a 1000 Lingas " or "The River of a Thousand Lingas". Lingas are phallic representations sacred to Brahmanism.   It is a symbol of fertility.   Hundreds of them are carved into the rock of the river.   Other carvings include gods such as Vishnu , Shiva , Brahma and animals. To appreciate the beautiful carvings in the nature, one has to climb a trek for around 30 minutes.   Exhausted but worthwhile. Reclining Vishnu is often the theme of carvings.   Others include Shiva and Uma mounted on the bull, Brahma on a lotus petal and still others which I can't figure out exactly. Animals, lingas, yoni dot here and there.            Downdream ...

15 June 2012 HK Heritage Museum - Hakka Women It has been more than 10 years that I haven't been to the Hong Kong Heritage Museum .  Today, a Picasso exhibition brought me back.  Hmm, a Spanish artist associating with the Chinese heritage.  It's a special event of the French May .  It drew a lot of people to the museum, though a bit remote.  People, family speaking different languages crowded at the venue.  Picasso 's paintings shown were across his different periods.  Many photos of him and friends were also shown. Hong Kong Heritage Museum is unique in providing the history of Hong Kong, featuring Hakka (Guest family) migration, as a fishing village, the traditional Cantonese opera as the integral parts of Hong Kong's heritage, history and culture. During the reign of Yongzheng and Qianlong of Qing Dynasty (18th century), people were encouraged to utilise wasteland for farming.  A big demographic shift of residen...

Marshal Zen Garden Beitou 北投少帥禪園

Image
Marshal Zen Garden was built during the Japanese-colonised period of the 1920's.  It was renowned for the hot spring and was used as the entertainment hub of the Japanese pilots during the end of the World War II. In the 1960's, it was used to confine Marshal Chang Xue-liang and his wife Zhao Di. We checked in in our hotel Double Inn and was driven there.  The environment is very soothing with a lot of green, flowers and typical Japanese set up. We first enjoyed our afternoon tea after travelling straight from Alishan to Chiayi to Taipei. You can visit the Zen Garden if you hold a booking of  the tour, hot spring or restaurant. It was very nice to enjoy the afternoon in its tea house  小六茶舖. It's cosy and the food was superb, good value for the money. NTD900 for two. Marshal Chang and his wife were detained at the Zen Garden for decades.  Though it was years ago, the exhibition of his room, photos and his life made me feel...
