StringGirl and Amber took time out to enjoy a dinner in Zurich recently in the shadow of the Swiss Prime Tower. The restaurant Ly's Asia, is a cafeteria style Asian restaurant--they also have "Prime dining" and "Resaurant" which apparently are full service operations on-site as well.
The Kreis 4 area near the Prime Tower is undergoing a bit of a renaissance with the addition of all the new real estate in the area, and the shifting of the tram stations near the Technopark. The new restaurants in the Prime Tower campus are all new additions that required some "Beta Testing".
Arriving for dinner near 8:00 PM the place was pretty empty, only one group of diners sat at one of the long high top tables that furnish the Asian Diner. The menu is pretty straight forward; offering Chinese, Thai, Malaysian, and Japanese options. Approaching the cafeteria bar you see the fast order list of Sushi, Rice plates, noodle dishes, and soup offerings.
We opted for the Malaysian Curry Noodle Soup (there are 3 types of soups to order in this manner and your choice of 2 noodles, with protein from Tofu to chicken, pork and beef or Seafood). We added to the order a Spring Roll and a Feldschlossen bier. This adds upto 32 Francs, which in Zuri for dinner is about expected. Nearby Nooch will run you 25CHF for a soup + more for the bier and starter.
The bowl of soup was formidable. Heaping with noodles submerged in a yellow Malaysian curry. The chicken was lightly cooked and topped with fried onions in the broth. The Malay curry was not very hot (maybe not meant to be) so I added much chili with garlic paste from the spices placed at the table. The spring roll was piping hot (cauterizing to the roof of the mouth hot).
Ly's is a winner. Priced right and located super close to the office, I think we may end up there again.
