ASIAN FOOD IN ZAGREB (April 17, 2014)
Asian food is a new craze in Zagreb. Sushi and wok restaurants are popping up across the city at a mindboggling rate. There were only a few sushi restaurants until a few years ago, but their number has tripled the last year or so. And there were no wok restaurants in the city until recently. What is going on? Is this a passing affection for Asian food, or will it stick and cast ever-deeper roots? It is anyone’s guess, but the trend is worth watching. As well as tasting. I would not be surprised by a wide variety of Chinese and Indian restaurants to follow at a clip. By and by, the Croatian capital may become a hub of not only Asian food, but also exotic food in general. Which will only add to its urbane charm. But I hope I am not going on and on about the city of my birth so as to make it appear more to my taste than it actually happens to be. Or can ever be. Time will tell, of course.
