Feel like in Asia / Czuć się jak w Azji #20 - Wawpho (WAW)

Feel like in Asia / Czuć się jak w Azji #19 - The Nomad (WAW)

I happened to come to this Mongolian bar with my friends because they live in front of it and often visit here - The Nomad.

Mongolian decorations?

Menu!

I ordered noodles with lamb, taste ok but noodle was too hard for me.

Chicken udon soup...

Not sure if it's authentic Mongolian food but the cooks look like from Mongolia..I heared that sometimes they have concerts and events so come visit!

Ramen day (Uki Uki)

tonkotsu ramen, uki uki, Japanese restaurant, japońska restauracja, ramen day

One of my favourite Japanese dishes - Ramen, if you haven't had chance to read about it you can check my earlier posts: link EN, link PL. Except in some restaurants, you can also taste ramen from time to time in Japanese udon restaurant in Warsaw Uki Uki (link). The event is hold irregularly in a certain period of a day and it's called Uki Uki Ramen day on fb: https://web.facebook.com/events/269569913434020/

First you get a small card with a number and you need to wait until the places are free.

Usually the restaurant is very busy and normally you have to wait in a queue.

Waiting is worth for it, when I was there they served only basic tonkotsu (pork based) ramen, in Poland you don't eat very often this quality ramen. If you are interested or just curious how it tastes, go for a try!

Feel like in Asia / Czuć się jak w Azji #18 - Shabu shabu (WAW)

During the winter time, the most popular place you meet in Asia is probablly "huoguo" hotpot restaurants. I miss that time back home, meeting friends in cold winter time for different delicious hotpots with lots of laughter.

However, in Poland I usually make hotpot myself and invite guests but this time I found a place in Warsaw - Shabu shabu.

Actually the name shabu shabu is from Japanese, and it's only a type of hotpot, which was brought back from China to Japan.

Let's take a look of the restaurant itself...

Very familiar basic hotpot equipment setting with tables...

On the wall there are some drawings to show you how to eat hotpot, nice!

Menu!

After checking at the menu I decided just to try the basic set with beef.

Broth...

Here's the set for hotpot!

Doesn't look so much actually...

Time to boil the food!

And then dipping in this prepared sauce. Actually the sauce is something new for me, I think it's Vietnamese style hotpot.

Boiled food is the most healthy!!!

Shabu shabu has many choices and you can also order and add any ingredients they provide separately. After the testing, it's maybe more like Vietnamese hotpot which I have never tasted before so I don't know if it was the right taste. I can only say that it wasn't my taste. Next to shabu shabu is a Vietnamese bar and the owner is the same Vietnamese. If you have never tried hotpot before, it's worth to give it a try to feel how we meet people and eat hotpot in Asia!

For those who like to invite guests and cook at home, welcome for further reading at Duncan's Home Kitchen because when the next hotpot season comes I will try to post a detailed post in Polish how to eat and make hotpot yourself at home!

Feel like in Asia / Czuć się jak w Azji #17 - Oh my pho (WAW)

I was tired of most of the Chinese-Vietmanese or Chinese-Polish bars or restaurants which you can find everywhere in Poland. So I started to search locals in Warsaw and I found some on Fb with good opinions - here comes Oh My Pho!

The place is not super big but in the crowded capital maybe it's just hard to find an ideal one?

Actually seats were pretty soon occupied so you can see how busy they are and the food should be also good..?

Menu, 5% discounts for students!

Pho is actually everywhere and so popular that I just wanted to give it a pass this time. Especially I found something special here, maybe only in Oh My Pho - Bún trộn(mixed with different ingredients): cold noodles with salad, roast pork, nuts, and some herbs.
