Re: Warsaw restaurant, street 178
I was there last night and I can confirm the armchairlawyer statement. Very tasty foods at the warsaw Cafe & Restaurant, I had the potatoes, cucombers, cabbage soup ( large bowl) it remind me the country vegetable soup back home, follow by a plate of Pierogi filled with cheese and potatoes it was delicious, the ambience is very relaxing and the prices are quite fair for that type of quality.armchairlawyer wrote: ↑Fri Jan 26, 2024 6:05 pm Good new Polish restaurant on 178 berweeen 19 and Norodom.

Re: Warsaw restaurant, street 178
I only saw it this week and it is on my list. Diet or not, I just love dumplings. Must be hard-wired into my Kraut genes. Let's hope they can hold on, not a lot of foot traffic.
Re: Warsaw restaurant, street 178
Wow, I want to go. This food is similar/identical to my mother's and my grandmother's home-cooking from childhood days. My family came from Bukovina in western Ukraine, so the overlap with Polish dishes is huge.
The Ukrainian version of pyrogi dumplings has a filling of either cottage cheese and potatoes, or sauerkraut cabbage and potatoes, both with salt and pepper... The dumplings are boiled for ten minutes or so and the real key to deliciousness depends on the topping! Basically you need to clarify a lot of onions in butter to heap on the dumplings. On top of that, you put a couple of big dollops of thick sour cream. Nothing in the world is more delicious, and fattening! May explain why some in my family have died from heart diseases, although none were overweight.
Traditional Ukrainian Christmas feasts were often vegetarian. For two reasons: many poor peasants had no easy access to meat, only vegetables and wheat. Also, the vegetarian Christmas feasts were a sign of humility. However, on other occasions, the dishes would be served as described below, but with cheese in the dumplings and sour cream with the borscht.

On the menu:
- ~ Kutia (boiled wheat sweetened with honey and poppy seed)
~ Kolach (braided ring shaped bread )
~ Borsch (meatless beet soup served without cream on Christmas Eve)
~ Holubsti (cabbage rolls stuffed with tomato sauce rice or buckwheat)
~ Perogies, also called varenyky (dumplings stuffed with potatoes, sauerkraut or various sweet fillings like poppy seed, prunes or berries)
~ Mashed beans (cooked white beans seasoned with garlic)
~ Sauerkraut (some serve it only as a perogie filling but it can also be served as a side, sometimes with cooked dried peas)
~ Mushroom Gravy (a brown gravy usually made with pidpenky, a wild mushroom harvested in the fall)
~ Fish (while the meal is considered meatless, it does include fish)
~ Pickled Herring
~ Compote (stewed dried fruit)
~ Pampushky (sweet dough balls similar to doughnuts, stuffed with sweetened poppy seed paste)

Interesting. On my list for my next visit.
I didn't get to invade Poland recently, so I'm really looking forward to this.
And just popping to my mind - any Czech restaurant(s) in Phnom Penh? They're also big on dumplings.

Re: Warsaw restaurant, street 178
I havent been in Poland since 1998, and coincidentially i heard friday from some guy at Oscars about this restaurant and last night i passed in a tuktuk in front of it. The only thing i used to like really in Poland was GOLONKA, very similar as the german Eisbein i think, its the upperleg from a pig, very special but i cant find anything from the menu at these restaurant, except from a foto only mentioning soups !! ??
Re: Warsaw restaurant, street 178
I wonder if FridaywithPinocchio is also a Polish descendant and will share a recipe
