An intrigue corridor, Boscolo Prague

This corridor reminds me of a scene and right over the end, there was a reverse order word "redrum" and later on a pair of twin girls standing there...  (*the scene from the movie "Shining").

Mandarin Oriental Prague

I was holding a very high expectation to come try this MO.  If there wasn't a "fan" sign, I wouldn't have noticed this is a MO run hotel, and yet it's in such a historical city as Prague.   As when I checked out their restaurants, those seemed not to be appealing.  There came a staff leaving the restaurant and having a strong tune to urge us to go in for a try.   So that's what we call a MO service.

Potrefena Husa, Prague

The hotel's front office recommended us to try this place.  We got a Bohemian soup (artichoke and potato) with a half boiled egg.  The portion is so big that it is good for 2 persons.  Then we ordered a grilled veggie salad and a roasted chicken breast.  The soup was very aromatic and silky smooth with the half boiled egg.  The veggie and chicken dishes were also very nice.  

On the other day, we passed by a restaurant and ended up it's another branch under the same chain.  So we had something deep fried.  These two branches impressed me pretty much with Czech cuisine. 

Wine O'clock, old town, Prague

Got curious of why this small restaurant could be on a no. 1 ranking on tripadvisor.  When we came in, the waitress gave us a very warm and welcoming smile.  The menu is very simple.  We got told the portion of all the dishes aren't big.  So we ordered a bruschetta, baked Provolone, beef flank Tagliatta salad, roasted petit chicken for the first round.  The bruschetta and baked Provolone were so good and aromatic and also getting you a high appetite.  The salad and the chicken were very nice too.  The waitress noticed we cleaned the plates and asked us about the food.  I then asked her for a recommendation for one more dish.  So she got us a crispy filo salmon.  Another big surprise!  

A fine afternoon, after the snow, Prague

Meat & Greet, burger house, Prague

Noticed this place was very crowded on another night.  Went in for a table but the answer was full.  The waiter was kind enough to give me their name card to call for an advance booking.  A bit amazing to me getting a burger required a booking.  So on the night before we left Prague, we decided to pop in for a try.  The waiter felt sorry for just only one table left and which was quite near the entrance.  How should we care but rather it's our curiosity to check why this place was that popular.  Order their house signature burger, iced tea and a mixed juicy drink.  On the sides, we took coleslaw and fries.  The burger reminded me of how I used to put on some fruit jam in the burger.  This time it's blackcurrant jam and some beet root paste too.  See how creative that we could use some fruity flavour in a burger instead of heavy cheese or truffle oil or olive oil...etc.  So with the crunchy bacon bits and the juicy beef patty, I know why eating a burger required advance bookings.  On and off lines of customers came in for begging (yes, begging) a table.  On the sides, I really loved the coleslaw.  They put some radish in it making it a bit spicy.  That's what we call coleslaw!  The fries was not to be missed either.  All these made me further try their home made pancakes.  The pecan was pan fried a bit with a very nice aroma.  The pancakes were in a nice texture and aromatic with the fresh flour.  The salted caramel and peanut butter were so good to go with it.  I put aside high calories and cholesterol out of my mind.  It may be a bit exaggerating but this place would recall me to come back to Prague.

Prague in white

Just over one night, the city was put on a white coat.

Into the birds, Prague

It was quite spectacular to walk around all these big and small birds....
