Where There’s Kis Parázs, There’s Hope

Kis Parázs Thai Leves és Wok Bár Budapest

Kis Parázs Thai Leves és Wok Bár Budapest

Why so glum? It’s Friday afternoon, and after weeks of rain the weather looks like it might finally be clearing up. Most importantly, there’s a fun new place to get Thai in Budapest!

Okay, so Kis Parázs (contact details at link) isn’t totally new: the Kazinczy utca annex of the larger Parázs Presszó seems to have been open for the past few months. But it’s new enough for us to be excited!

Not a whole lot words can add to these pics we snapped on a quick drop-in the other night, or the online menu which you can find on the website for the two restaurants. One thing we would say is that they deliver – and apparently do so quickly – which is good. Another is that, when we visited, the air in the very small dining area was so thick with vaporized chili from the adjoining kitchen we almost wished we’d gone for takeout, which is not so good.

Also: Plenty of shrimp in the shrimp Pad Thai (good) but not enough squid in the Pla Muk Naam Prik Pao (not good), big cans of Borsodi for just Ft 350 (good) but slices of lemon instead of lime on the plate (not good).

Still, with life otherwise so miserable, we’re happy to take a little not good with the good. Check it out.

    slices of lemon instead of lime on the plate (not good).”

    Picky? You eat all that horribly disgusting smelly sea creatures and your only problem is lemon instead of lime?

    Asian “cuisine” was born out of the necessity of feeding billions of poor and hungry people. They eat shrimp, scorpions, sneaks and other creepy crawly slimy things because that’s all they have. As a rule of thumb: nothing good ever comes out of Asia. This includes food, “martial arts”, karaoke and feng shui. We need to build a Great Wall of China to keep them Chinese inside. Gullible westerners believe crap is exotic, they eat everything with a funny name.
    Don’t support the “black arts” such as magic, fortune-telling and Oriental cooking.

    @Hong Kong Phooey: “As a rule of thumb: nothing good
    ever comes out of Asia.” Well one thing that came
    out of Asia is Hungarians, so it can’t be half bad ;)

    @Hong Kong Phoohey

    I’m presuming you’ve never been further from Budapest than Lake
    Balaton.

    The Chinese and Thais were producing amazing food while your
    fellow Hungarians were still picking snacks out of their own
    loincloths (them that was lucky enough to have them)

    You should get out more..

    “I’m presuming you’ve never been further from Budapest than Lake Balaton.”

    Hate to disappoint you, but I’ve spent more time at Lake Mead and Greenwood Lake than the Balaton.
    I’ve tried shrimp in several NYC restaurants, even in Chinatown, but could not finish a single piece so far. It stinks. Just like Oriental cooking. Of course some people will eat anything…

  6. Rambling Ted says:

    Chinatown in NYC- well you couldn’t get more authentic asian that
    that- what a goose!

    @Hong Kong Phooey :-
    I can’t decide that you dislike shrimps/seafood (which western food feature a lot of – except in HUngary) or you dislike Asians…

  8. Anonymous says:

    @K – Hungarian pig farmers just don’t do shrimp. It doesn’t smell of manure.

    Are you writing about or long time contributor Ricsi ?

    “I can’t decide that you dislike shrimps/seafood (which western food feature a lot of – except in HUngary) or you dislike Asians…”

    No, I don’t dislike Asians, and I always love to “see food”, the more the better. I even eat fish, but none of those creepy-crawlies.
    Living in the US and being too lazy to cook or go out for dinner, I’ve had my share of delivered Chinese food, sesame chicken, sweet and sour pork and such.
    The rice was good…
