Breakfast near Budapest Airport - Hotel Stacio

Hotel Stacio
Located: About 10 mins drive from Budapest Ferihegy 2A Airport.


Small rooms ... but I like the hotel. About 70 Euros per night.

Hmmm ... Hungarian-style "sambal" with my breakfast. Very nice!

First chinese meal in Budapest, Hungary - Momotaro

Momotaro Ramen
I was attracted to this place when I read ..
... one of the Best Chinese Restaurant in Budapest, according to Chew.hu, the Hungarian food blog (Top 33 restaurants in Budapest list) as well as several other Chinese food lovers in Hungary. As its name suggests you will also get Japanese dishes here – at reasonable prices.

Some dumplings as starters ...


The interesting and rather non-tasteful decor!

Fried rice .. Kwai-loh style! Ditto "Char Siew"!

Poor Ma Poh Tofu! Equally poor fried rice ... tsk tsk.

Sweet and sour ... too much batter!

Horrid "fried noodles ala Taiwanese"! Eep!

ps - The verdict... I left feeling dissapointed with the non-authenticity of the food, the slightly-above-normal pricing, and the poor customer service!
