Thalwil
This quiet lakeside town is located five miles south of Zurich and easily reached by train, boat or car. Now a commuter suburb, it has preserved much of its charm as a former farming village and boasts a strong community culture as well as a wide range of shops and leisure activities.

Monday, May 31 : 7:15 PM Exotic escape to Kunming |
It's Whit Monday, the shops are closed and it's raining. Now what? You might feel tempted to dream of distant holidays with warm weather and hot food... We decided to stop dreaming and spice up our lives at the local Chinese restaurant.* Named after the twin city of nearby Zurich, the Kunming in Gotthardstrasse is a typical Asian restaurant with palace lanterns and oriental music helping to set an exotic tone.
The ginger chicken and sweet & sour pork we ordered weren't spectacular but the staff were very friendly and the portions were quite generous. And the starter definitely made our day: delicious steamed shaomai which were as good as any we'd tasted so far in Switzerland.
All in all, we enjoyed our exotic escape and will definitely be back to treat ourselves to more oriental delights when the weather is bad again...
*A second Chinese restaurant off Ludretikonerstrasse recently closed - before we got to try it.
