I have my ice-kachang, satay, hor fun, chicken wings, chicken rice, ice jelly, century egg congee, laksa, etc all laid out in front of me on a table in Singapore. No such things as starters,mains, dessert or primo, secondo and dolci to confuse little pigs like me.

No harm in making reservations. If we change our minds later, then we change our minds. Simple.
As for thinking about dessert 6 weeks in advance..! Settle down you two, we'll cross that bridge when we get to it?
In fact we can make many reservations and then whatever we feel like on the day, we just go to that one. So that, e.g. if we have a heavy lunch (raclette), we can have a lighter dinner or vice versa. What other foods is ZRH famous for?
Chocolate pigout session?

Sukhothai - Wanphen Heymann-Sukphan, a Thai native, runs this haute-cuisine Thai restaurant with her husband Gion Heymann since 1992. In 1997, Wanphen was awarded one Michelin star as the first female Thai chef world-wide ever. Zagat Survey gave Sukhothai the highest score for food in Zurich. (26 point).

Let me rephrase: What other Swiss foods is ZRH famous for?
I'd find it ironic the need to go to Switzerland to eat Thai food just because it's rated by Zagat. I'm off the opinion that nothing beats local food at being more authentic than when prepared by natives of its native country in its own country of origin.
If it's up to me to decide/make reservations (if needed), I'll be inquiring for somewhere very, very local. It may indeed be very, very simple (if there's such a thing in ZRH). Would this be alright? Or 5-star restaurants only? No doubt the food would be great, but the local 'ambience' is what I'm after as well as the local 'flavour'...
Case in point: I'd rather eat Penang char koay teow anywhere in Penang than the best 'Penang' char koay teow in Singapore.

Swiss food in Swiss local place only. Agreed.
Chocolates can be found in Sprungli which jhm suggested. So we can have tea, chocolates and cakes at the same time.
kyo, you can find the most local place and make the reservations and I'd go along with what you decide. BUT please don't be so kiasu and make many reservations. I hope you intend to call up to cancel them at a later stage. Sometimes I find non-Singaporeans more kiasu than Singaporeans!

A place that has hearty Züri gschnätzeltes & raclette or fondue is what I'm now looking for
Might have to ask someone from Zurich...
Also another update: Have booked into the Hilton Zurich Airport so that I don't rush about the following day. Might go on the airport tour if that's running as well. Anyone keen to join?
Update: Can't join the tour because the first one starts at 12:00 (it does run on Sundays), but I'm departing at 13:00, so unfortunately no recourse for that one...Last edited by Kyo; 13 January 2010, 10:34 AM.
