Michaelaway Posted November 14, 2009 Share Posted November 14, 2009 Wiener Schnitzel or alternatively, Vienna Schnitzel (Wiener Schnitzel in German, where Schnitzel means a cutlet without bones), pronounced /viːnər ʃnɪtzəl/, is a traditional Austrian dish and is a popular part of Viennese and Austrian cuisine, consisting of a thin slice of veal coated in breadcrumbs and fried. In Austria the dish is traditionally served with a lemon slice, lingonberry jam and either potato salad or potatoes with parsley and butter. While the traditional Wiener Schnitzel is made of veal, it is now sometimes made of pork, though in that case it is often called Schnitzel Wiener Art (Germany) or Wiener Schnitzel vom Schwein (Austria) to differentiate it from the original. In Austria, the term Wiener Schnitzel is protected by law, and any schnitzel called by that name has to be made from veal.[1] The dish may have originated in Milan, northern Italy, as cotoletta alla milanese, and may have appeared in Vienna during the 15th or 16th century. According to another theory, it was introduced in 1857 by Field Marshal Radetzky, who spent much of his life in Milan. The term Wiener Schnitzel itself dates to at least 1862 Hi! I read this today and realized that I never tried any kind of shnitzel, good or bad. So, now I figure I might as well go ahead and expand my culinary horizons in a shnitzerly direction. Please tell me: Where's your favorite shnitzel place 'round here, and why...? Danke schoen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonititan Posted November 14, 2009 Share Posted November 14, 2009 Well, I've never had schnitzel in Pattaya, but I've had it at a couple places in Bangkok. Not the best. I guess it would be ok if you had never had schnitzel. I used to live in Europe, though, and had amazing schnitzel in Germany and Austria, so I guess maybe my standards are too high. I guess I really shouldn't expect to dine on authentic schnitzel in Thailand! Sorry I can't help, but good luck to ya. I hope you find some GOOD schnitzel!

aussiechick Posted November 14, 2009 Share Posted November 14, 2009 Try Zum Schnitzelwirt in Soi Wongamat (18). Considering this is the area for german restaurants ther are probably more around here that have it as well. Usually made with pork though.

Michaelaway Posted November 14, 2009 Author Share Posted November 14, 2009 Hey, thanks for the above ideas; I hope more people will comment. What do Pattaya restaurants normally serve along with the scnitzel? And one more thing I'd like to know, please: Do they always serve schnitzel plain, as in the photo? Looks a bit plain. What do people do- use ketchup or mustard with schnitzel? Seems to me this kind of cutlet would be delicious with mushroom-cognac sauce, or something. Good schnitzel talk...

Thaifan2 Posted November 14, 2009 Share Posted November 14, 2009 The Ola or Olu restaurant on Soi 7 opposite the first cut through to Pattaya Klang walking south or opposit World wide bar had a special for a few weeks of Shnitzel plus french fries for B105 and it was very good .They no longer have it on special but i am sure that they will still do it for you .( Its a Scandanavian owned restaurant on the corner ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lothda Posted November 14, 2009 Share Posted November 14, 2009 (edited) In my opinion the best schnitzel type dishes can be found in Japanese eateries - it's called 'tonkatsu'. Edited November 14, 2009 by lothda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mozikillah Posted November 14, 2009 Share Posted November 14, 2009 I know the OP asked in Pattaya but just FYI, in Banchang would be Zum Adler opposite Eastern Star Golf Resort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonititan Posted November 14, 2009 Share Posted November 14, 2009 Yes, they can feel a bit plain. I believe that "real" Austrians and Germans squeeze lemon juice on schnitzel - it's delicious that way! I've used ketchup before too, but I don't think the Austrians would approve of that. In Austrian restaurants, they sometimes do offer different types of sauces. For example, "Jaeger Schnitzel" is a piece of schnitzel covered in a mushroom gravy sauce. Sometimes schnitzel can be rolled and stuffed with other ingredients. There's other variations, too. The Austrians have many ways to serve schnitzel!

kicking Posted November 14, 2009 Share Posted November 14, 2009 Sailor Restaurant (you have to walk through Sailor Bar) on Soi 8 has very acceptable schnitzel. At 80 baht or whatever, it is a great value. Comes with choice of potato. You won't be disappointed... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattd Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 The German restaurant on Walking Street, just South of Soi Happy does an excellent one IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what I'm talking about, Jaeger Schitzel (who knew?), or rolled, stuffed schnitzel! Like to try those, so... can anyone say where's the best place around here for those kinds of schnitzel...?

aussiechick Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 Does anyone use veal instead of pork? tropo - if you can find anyone using veal please let me know. One 5* restaurant here that has /had it on the menu, says it is veal but if it was veal then I am 18 years old As a matter of fact I actually tried a second time and again was disappointed and have never been back. The worst part was the price indicated that it should have been veal! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks again for all the great s-talk! Most popular are the "Jaeger Schnitzel" (brown sauce with mushrooms) and "Zigeuner Schnitzel" [gipsy schnitzel] (tomato-like sauce with onions, paprika's, etc) and of course the plain schnitzel with a drop of lemon. The stuffed 'schnitzel' goes more in the direction of a Cordon Blue: blue cheese, wrapped in slices of pork-filet, combined with ham and covered in a crispy skin; not really German or Austrian, but favorite as well. The area just North of the Delphin Roundabout is famous for its German orientated restaurants, but all over Pattaya you can find them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Schnitzel (and to the OP: It is spelled sCh for chrisssake!!!!) is supposed to be very very thin but some 30 cm across. Crispy. VERY crispy. Comes with nothing but a green salad and homefries. Those who try to sell you gypsy/hunter/whatever sauce are probably Germans and since Vienna is in the Balkan, they have no clue what they're doing.

But I will let you know if I get veal anywhere!! It was around the 600 - 700 baht mark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
