Meridian007 Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 With JT's thread on food, and my recent reading about Harcourt's younger days when he would make a citrus-pickled seafood dish, I've been thinking about ceviche, and other South American food. Has anyone seen any South American restaurants in Bangkok? That is another type of food I miss from the west, and with the recent Mexican food craze in BKK, I think someone should try something even more southern! Mmmm, shrimp ceviche would be sooo good right now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rumblecat Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 Senor Pico's is a great place, but unfortunately the menu is 100% Mexican, so that's not going to help the OP. Don't know of any Peruvian ones but there's Fogo Vigo Churrascaria Bar and Grill which is a Brazillian style steakhouse. It's in the Chitlom area.

theseahorse Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 There's a good little Columbian/ Latino restaurant just off Sathon Soi 1, called La Cuchara. Its just past the Ibis hotel, down a back street. Good rustic Columbian food. I think they may have had a Chevice on the menu, but if not it's still well worth a visit. Just don't go in a large group, the place is tiny, its a bit like eating in someones front room and like most non thai food places here in BKK they have difficulty when it comes to tables over 4! I've had a good Escabeche here somewhere (Escabeche/ Chevice. same, same!), just can't remember where. May have been Tapas Cafe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jingthing Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 (edited) Great tip! Surprising to hear about a Columbian restaurant in Thailand. And, yes, they do have some kind of (shrimp) ceviche. Very cool, but highly doubtful that it rates compared to a good Peruvian ceviche. http://www.dininginthailand.com/lacuchara.bkk.asp Edited January 26, 2010 by Jingthing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meridian007 Posted January 27, 2010 Author Share Posted January 27, 2010 (edited) Thanks for the heads up on La Cuchara! One thing worries me though, but I'm hoping that the writer made a mistake: The Cerviche is a delicious spicy prawn and tomato salad steamed with fresh coriander leaves, served in a banana leaf with a cup of spicy tomato salsa I also just read on Wikipedia that it is customary in some restaurants to cook the shellfish to lower the preparation time, but that just wouldn't be the same! I was taught to let the seafood marinate for a few hours, but you can see that it starts "cooking" the shrimp almost immediately. I took this pic just a few minutes after putting the ingredients together: Regardless, I'm still looking forward to checking out La Cuchara, S. American food is something I've been missing for too long! Edited January 27, 2010 by Meridian007 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
