 Posted: Fri Jul 17, 2009 12:35 am Post subject: A Hungarian restaurant in Asia? |
 |
|
I came across online the selling of a place in Phuket but it's somewhat Thai food it seems, was hoping to hear of a Hungarian couple who actually decided to open an authentic Hungarian food restaurant in Asia.
If I can find a place, that will decide my next Asian destination.
My father was from Hungary and I grew up in Canada with plenty of dishes I miss terribly, some I can make, others, not quite the same.
Help me out, if you know of any place in this part of the world. |

I wish there was one here, too. I'd love to get some lecso or some tepertu or a good gypsy steak. There's a nice cafe in Toronto called the Coffee Mill that serves excellent wiener schnitzel, and to get something like what they serve--or some homestyle bean soup and cucumber salad--would be heavenly.
My dad's from Hungary, too, and I grew up eating my grandma's cooking on holidays and family get-togethers. My kin are from Mohacs. How about yours? |

those I can make, and a beef goulash, cabbage rolls and chicken stew with dumplings and a half dozen more dishes  my dad was the oldest of a dozen kids and so when his mom was sick he had to do the cooking and learned so well that he once opened (as a side hobby to his full time job) a hungarian restaurant in vancouver in the sixties called "the blue window" eventually selling it for a dollar to his girlfriend whom he left because she couldn't have children and she in turn thanked him for teaching her how to cook
but there's so much i can't make  i should've learned more

my dad was born in Endrod in Bekes county in the southeast (now officially Gyoma-endrod as the two towns grew together) in 1931 and emigrated to Canada toward the end of the 1956 failed revolt against Soviet occupation
from a town by the Danube eh? i have family pictures of it, much beloved by hungarians, my dad eventually settled in B.C. because it was the one place in Canada that reminded him of Hungary, he later retired in Kamloops and once compared the Thompson river to the Tisza river that goes through his hometown and so when he passed away last summer i spread his ashes in the North Thompson river
i'm gonna go to hungary in a few years and will also visit hungarian restaurants back in canada in a year or two, but my next trip or two outside of korea will likely be here in asia, this summer and next winter, and so if there's just one hungarian family restaurant in asia i'd like to find it and frequent it for a week or so, sightseeing in its vicinity |

| The only one I know of is Tokaj in Tokyo. I think it's Ginzo 4-6-18. I also read that the owners were partnering in the opening of a Gerbeaud Cukr�szda in Tokyo but I don't know how far along that is. |

Thank you Morgen.
I'll check it out.
I suspected that Tokyo might be my best bet in Asia.
A relatively short flight as well. |
