ARISTIDE Posted September 22, 2012 Share Posted September 22, 2012 (edited) The new Israeli restaurant in Chiang Mai I was really impressed! Just near Pantip plaza intersection near the Yemeni Jewish restaurant. I know so little about Israeli food so I ordered what I know, baba ganoush, schnitzel and Sharwama and they are all excellent.

mania Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 (edited) Interesting & I just noticed the big picture of Falafel posted on their window the other day. I admit I know nothing of Israeli food but have had Falafel before & liked it. Thanks for heads up & will give them a try O.T. but curious if anyone knows, Before this place was built the previous place was demolished even though it did not look old. For many weeks there was a Falang gentleman literally working daily on opening what looked like a coffee shop. Did not look like a cheap place & had what looked like nice fittings/furniture etc. Seems odd to put all that in & then the place was soon demolished. Anyone know what happened?

elektrified Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 Passed by a few times over the last month or so. Looked interesting. But since when is a schnitzel Israeli food? Maybe Austrian, German, Slovak, etc...but Israeli? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ARISTIDE Posted November 17, 2012 Author Share Posted November 17, 2012 (edited) I think they eat chicken or turkey schnitzel Quoted from Wikipedia "Immigrants to Israel have incorporated elements of the cuisines of the cultures andcountries from whence they originated.[1] During approximately fifty years before 1948, there were successive waves of Jewish immigration, which brought with them a whole range of foods and cooking styles. Immigrants arriving from central Europe brought foods such as schnitzel and strudels, while Russian Jews brought borsht and herring." Passed by a few times over the last month or so. Looked interesting. But since when is a schnitzel Israeli food? Maybe Austrian, German, Slovak, etc...but Israeli?

Rancid Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 Why is it that the Jews and Muslims both congregate around Changklan, can't seem to stay away from each other? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jingthing Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 (edited) Jews and chicken go way back! Chicken soup (Jewish penicillin), chopped chicken liver, schmaltz (don't ask ) ... If any of your local Israeli restaurants have it, I suggest you try Shakshouka (ask for it spicy). Made from chicken eggs. (See a pattern?) Origin from Tunisian (North African) Jews. If done right, it tastes a lot better than you would expect and believe it or not it is very reminiscent of Mexican heuvos rancheros but served with good crusty bread (hopefully) instead of tortillas. http://en.wikipedia....wiki/Shakshouka My understanding is that Shakshouka in Israel is up there with hummus and falafel in popularity.
