Only one thing could be improved-- they still need to bump up the spice a bit. Albanians seem to have a hard time with anything even a bit 'hot', and I've noticed that their worst fear is having to eat something called "Sweet & Sour". They have a repulsion to anything sweet combined with meat, which we just love. And the wasabi was rather tame... oh well.... at least we have sushi in Tirana! That's quite amazing in itself!

A Bit of the Far East in Tirana
I had an awesome lunch today with Izabella-- Hot & Sour Soup-- California Maki-- Singapore Noodles-- All very yummy! We ate at one of our favourite restaurants in Tirana - Far East. We were basically alone and were attentively waited on. They have a awesome (and huge) aquarium which always fascinates me.

That sounds lovely! I'm also one to love spicy food, so I'd probably also try to convince them :)

One day we'll do lunch CanSwiss!
Programitv... I will check it out! Thanks for the info. Far East is on the street where the Dutch Embassy is, before Villa Ambassador.
Hi Kim! TGIF!! ;)
Sushi in Tirana? Looks great... Next time... ;))
Blogtrotter, still posting on Delhi! Enjoy and have a great weekend!
PS: Programitv looks like spam, doesn't it...
At least the aquarium is impressive, and therapeutic!
ok, I know now where it is. Indeed a quite a nice place :-) .

programitv... I checked out your website and I do think it's useful. I told some foreigners about it already too. But thre is one thing that would be FANTASTIC--- if the movie titles could be given in ENGLISH!!!! Please, oh please :)
Thanks for more-than-dining tips. I hope to be in Tirana this spring, if I can swing the time. Far East sounds like a place to eat. How about a clean and inexpensive place to stay and local; cuisine?
Ta!
hey, thanks for the nice feedback. We are currently checking, if we could translate the titles into English, but I guess that will be rather difficult to do ...
Btw, do you speak albanian?
This one might be useful, I guess, you already know it?
