Anyone know of any Hungarian or Icelandic restaurants in Bangkok?
I know there used to be The Budapest, but I heard it's closed now.
Also, I have been craving some vinarterta (Icelandic prune-based layered cake, preferably with marzipan), has anyone happened to see it in any bakeries?
...long shots, I know, but worth a shot...

I rather like Hungarian food, but hakarl has to be the most vile food on the planet!

I looked up recipes for Vinaterta on the internet. Lots of variations. None that i saw called for marzipan although several did specify almond flavoring. Not that this is definitive. In this kind of recipe there is going to be a lot of variation. One recipe said that the cake had to be aged for at least 4 weeks in a cool place but not a refrigerator. Maybe if you baked it on Doi Inthanon in cold season you might get away with that. Anyway, it looks delicious. My wife has a bakery here in Chiangmai. This is just the kind of cake she llkes to bake so she is going to give it a try. Maybe we'll even have goulash as our entree.

Never heard of it, had to do a Google... Fermented Basking Shark.... could be an acquired taste. Hakarl Sounds like Som-Tam with a couple table spoons of para would satiate the Icelandic hunger urge, here! #8

I did a search using vinatarta and marzipan which I should have done in the first place and did find several recipes that call for marzipan icing. So we'll try it that way and let you know. Won't be for a few days at least since we have American Thanksgiving holiday to contend with.

I went to a restaurant a few years ago called the Andaman on Thonglor Soi 5 that had a very nice Goulash, but never heard of any Hungarian or Iceland restaurants in Bangkok.

while we're on the subject, anywhere to buy nice Hungarian paprika? (that ain't no more than a few months old)
can't do goulash with the local beef (maybe with the papaya tenderizing method) but shure can do chicken paprika...tasty... Edited by tutsiwarrior, 2009-12-20 06:43:54. |
