Still in Switzerland on our world tour of cuisines, on the day we spent entirely in the town where we were staying, the lovely Lucerne, we opted for a Chinese feast. We did this at a restaurant whose sign fell down out front while we were inside. Luckily this was not foreshadowing of a bad meal.
We started with some vegetable curry and some sweet and sour chicken. This chicken was hands down the best sweet and sour chicken either of us had ever had. And we live in New York, where it’s practically on every street corner.
Our meal also came with some spectacular egg drop soup and egg rolls. I won’t show you the egg roll as I’m pretty sure you know what it looks like.
This is the front of the restaurant and the entire bing haus sign fell and hit the lantern and also brought down the lantern when we were halfway through our meal. For a brief period of time, no one could get in or out. Also of note was how funny it was to be served Chinese food by a german-speaking swiss family after ordering chinese food described in german on the all-german menu. Switzerland really is an interesting place.
