My wife and I stayed at the Corinthia Hotel Tower in Prague, and having heard much about the various dining options we decided to explore the award-winning Rickshaw Restaurant which is an Asian-themed restaurant. The restaurant is like an Asian haven ensconced within the bigger hotel; it has the characteristic Chinese Music, low lights, staff in traditional Asian attires and even Asian furniture. The overall effect leaves you feeling like you are in Asia!

On the menu, the meal options are drawn from cuisines peculiar to all parts of Asia including Japan, Thailand, China, Malaysia, Singapore and Indonesia. The Chef is from Thailand and the meals usually have the characteristic spicy taste of Asian meals, so you have to be prepared if you have a sensitive taste palette.
For starters, we had the Rickshaw Golden Platter for two persons. It was a selection of five appetizers which included fresh rice spring rolls with crispy vegetables, spicy octopus salad, pork meat balls, red curry sauce, and crispy spring rolls with duck meat, shrimp cakes, and tamarind sauce. My wife had fish since she could not eat meat and the fish was quite nice. We also had soft crab which is not so common.

For the main dish, I picked one of the Chef?s specials, a Thai dish called Mu Phad Khing. The dish consisted of Stir-fried pork with ginger, celery, spring onion, black mushroom, shitake and oyster sauce. The meal was prepared traditionally like in Thailand and it was mildly spicy and truly amazing...
