Affordable Alpine Delicacies in Bangkok
When we think of Swiss cuisine, we probably think of cheese. When we think of cheese in Bangkok, we probably think of Chesa, arguably the only successful Swiss cuisine present in Bangkok - authentic and enthusiastic.

Chesa is not just about cheese, it has a full menu of Alpine delicacies on offer. We sampled the bundnerteller of which consisting of pickled vegetables, quality air dried beef and excellent salami, though dry-cured ham is of supermarket standard. The spinach ravioli swimming on sea of brown butter with appealing lemon thyme is aromatic and sinfully aroi (delicious). To conclude the meal, I had vermicelles of chestnut, one of my most favorite desserts whether it is prepared in Japanese or Swiss recipes.

Haha... that reminded of something. Actually one of my high school classmate (from mainland China) read the Oxford dictionary page by page but the amazing part is that he can really have all the words in his mind. I think he is the first generation of human computer before any IBM or macbook or even google... However, he overestimated himself by condemning the English teacher for not even knowing some words he knew. The English teacher then told him to read South Morning Morning Post instead of Oxford's dictionary though. The self-esteem just drove him to another road to a vertical culture of vocabulary. From this post, you can read some words like bureau, privates...etc. If their vocabulary is not strong, these words might not be used. They might just write "child paper chicken" for Spring Chicken...
I kind of doubt are all these true? As the French Toast it is hard to translate this way.
The "Spring Chicken" is possible, the "Collect Silver" is possible, but the French Toast really does not make sense.
May be part of these are made up.
Stella, does anything making sense under Beijing administration?
Beijing administration huh, that means it can be very "creative".
Yes, you may need to think vertically like I explained how they consider reading dictionary over English grammar and usages. Last night I watched a TV special that some apples were put on a a Sunkist sticker to pretend it's from the States.... So later on we would see a Washington's Apple sticker on an orange.
everything (stupid and crazy) can happen there :(
Har, that is ridiculous.
They all look good. Wow Alpine delicacies sound tempting!
It is unbelievable that Bangkok has such nice Swiss treat. I believe that Thailand is the centre of gourmet paradise.
I cannot believe BKK has all kinds of food from countries all over the world. Even Old Town Pasadena does not have any Swiss Restaurant. BKK really has everything. What a paradise.
my dear, Bangkok is an international city na while Pasadena is just a local city in California :) hahaha
Cheese and Swiss in Bangkok, very interesting. Thanks TC for the report.
