What to Buy in Sapa? Groceries!
The first part of a series about grocery shopping at Prague's Sapa market. It runs through tried and tested ingredients for quick Asian cooking at home: seasoning pastes for pad thai, tom kha kai and red curry, Aroy-D coconut milk, sriracha hot sauce, rice noodles, rice paper for spring rolls and sushi vinegar. Every item is one I've bought and cooked with over years of shopping there.
Shrimii Kitchen Restaurant, Prague
A review of Shrimii Kitchen, a family-run restaurant in Prague built around modern Asian cooking. The lunch menu delivered a soup with soba noodles in sake kombu broth and braised beef neck with Vietnamese pepper and pineapple, while the regular menu offered the Ulan Bato Noodle and the Bangkok Red Curry with a beef tenderloin steak. Modern interior, helpful staff.
BON Fresh Ramen & Soba, Prague: Ramen with Fresh Noodles in Anděl
Corrugated iron, red lanterns and tables built on bottle crates: the ramen shop BON Fresh Ramen & Soba has built a Japanese alley in Prague's Anděl and serves ramen made with noodles it rolls by hand every day. The menu runs from chicken karaage through tonkotsu and spicy tantanmen to mochi with matcha and yuzu lemonade.
Champagneria Wine Bar: Champagne and Cava in a Prague Alley Out of an Adventure Story
Champagneria is a small wine bar in Průchodní Street in Prague's Old Town, built around Champagne, cava and other sparkling wines. In the run-up to Christmas it's my reliable stop for honest red mulled wine that leaves the stalls on Old Town Square far behind.
El Camino Tapas Restaurant: Chef-Driven Spanish Cooking in Prague
El Camino Tapas Restaurant on Prague's Jagellonská Street serves Spanish tapas with a chef's signature. It was founded by David Böhm, who had spent eleven years in Mariánské Lázně running the first tapas restaurant in Czechia. A report on an evening that worked its way through much of the menu at a single table - from bread with grated tomatoes to wild duck in escabeche.
Isai Ramen Restaurant, Prague
A review of Isai Ramen, a Prague restaurant that specializes in ramen, the Japanese noodle soup. Both the Miso Red and the Thick Broth Miso ramen were absolutely perfect: strong broth, noodles with just the right bite, tender meat and an egg that wasn't overcooked. Plus a glass of calpis, the Japanese drink made from fermented milk. Most of the guests were Japanese - the best endorsement you can get.
Kuchyň Restaurant, Prague (2): Schnitzel and Plum Butter Dumpling on the Lower Terrace
Another visit to Kuchyň restaurant on Hradčanské Square, this time on the lower terrace, where nobody comes to wait on you and the view of Prague is maybe even better than from above. On the plate, pork neck schnitzel with potato salad and a yeast dumpling filled with plum butter - Czech classics whose prices didn't strike me as steep even a few steps from Prague Castle.
artic bakehouse, Prague: Icelandic Sourdough at the Foot of Petřín
artic bakehouse was set up in Prague by two Icelanders - a pastry chef with a Cake of the Year title and his childhood friend. Since 2018 they've been baking sourdough loaves with names of their own, croissants and caramel rolls that get you up Petřín without a single stop. Only the name isn't spelled the way your head keeps insisting.
Lán Dê - Xôi Chè: Caramelized Pork Belly with Rice in Prague's Sapa
A small stall at the back of Prague's Sapa market doesn't have a single seat and you order right in the kitchen, among the pots. Lán Dê - Xôi Chè does one dish and nothing else: caramelized pork belly with egg and sticky rice, which a smiling lady snips into a plastic box with scissors and buries under shredded pork and fried shallots.
Bún Cá Hải Phòng: Carp Soup in Prague's Sapa
The Bún Cá Hải Phòng bistro in Prague's Sapa market is named after both its signature dish and the city the recipe comes from: a fish noodle soup from the Vietnamese port of Hải Phòng. In the deep bowl, fried carp meets dill and lemon, and there's bánh quẩy to dip in it. It's full at lunchtime, but people come and go fast and you never wait long for a seat.
