Food in Poland are more meaty and less vegetables. Or when they do have vegetables, they are those we don't normally make use of in cooking such as beetroot. Odd cuisines they may have but amazingly delicious too! :) Actually, I was a little worried about the meals while in Poland coz I am not a meat lover and I wondered if I can get used to their cuisines...
Well, the photos tell all aren't they? :P Hahaha...lol
Kebab stalls are EVERYWHERE in Europe! They are considered as fast food there (along with pizza). But especially in Poland, they seemed to be lined up all along the roads...gosh...
It is not rare to find a chain of Kebab stalls side-by-side along the same stretch of road...not to mention the Kebabs not in huge portion, even bigger than our dear Carl's Junior burgers which you need both hands to hold on to it (like the kid in the picture)... *grinz*
Vietnamese Beef Noodle Soup @ Vietnamese Corner!

Went to a turkish-like Kebab stall nearby on our last day at Warsaw before taking the train to Krakow. The stall design kinda attracts my attention, especially the tall kettle-like ornament here...can feel the difference in our culture and theirs... *wink* :)
Turkish Lasagne!They replace the cheesy toppings with a layer of sour cream sauce and the layers are very much thicker than the normal ones we ate in Western Europe or back in Singapore...yet the taste is really as good as that...maybe even better! :DD
Never forget to munch of a Belgium waffle that is topped with a thick, juicy layer of chocolate fudge before boarding the train...envy? *bleah* :P

The portion of the sauce is so much that we took it as if it is mushroom cream soup...*oops! :P*
The local Gulash I think or similar. Their sauces taste really different...guess that's what make them stand out from the rest?! :D
The restaurant is pretty romantic with a pianist playing the grand piano in the background and tables are well-lit with candles...
Mistakenly, I ordered this Hungarian pancake, which is a main course, as a dessert!
Bread pizza! Had this while we are walking around the concentration camps and the Death Railway at Birkenau. :)
Dinner back in the Old Town Square.
Cabbage rolls stuffed with rice!
Final round of Polish Gelato before we head off to Prague!

Final round of Polish Gelato before we head off to Prague!Looking at this wide range of Gelatos...oh well how can you resist them??? :DD
Now can you see how big ONE SCOOP of ice cream is here? And it only cost approx. SGD 0.70 cents per scoop! Hahaha...now you will know my dilemma...lol
Btw, see the bright blue coloured ice cream? That flavour is called Smurf!!! Don't know how to describe its taste coz it is really unique but nice...reminds me of the little smurfies...hahaha...*chuckle*
Miss Poland coz it is really unique compared to many other European countries I have visited so far. The expenses there is low yet the quality of goods is high. Polish people are also a friendly bunch people, willing to offer you help whenever you need them and patiently trying to figure out what you are saying as most of them still only understand Polish only.
It can be quite a cultural shock and facing many difficulties in communications in Poland. Yet, at the same time, it is also a very good learning experience I will never forget...
Thank God for this wonderful opportunity and for Huiling who has been there to take care of me... :)
