Things to do in Warsaw

1. Old City in Warsaw

This view taken from the room of Intercontinental Hotel Warsaw shows the aerial view of the entire old city of Warsaw. You may not believe it, but most of the original old city was destroyed during and post World War 2. Hence, most of what we see today is actually a “rebuilt old city” altogether. Meticulous huh?

Lunch at Zapiecek Warsaw Poland

Zapiecek is actually a franchise that has many outlets Warsaw. The food there is not too bad, well-priced and quite traditional. If you’re not sure where to go, this place is a good start. But of course, for excellent, top notch, best polish food, you’ve got to go to Folk Gospoda!

Interior of restaurant with many translation of the word “Dumpling”

Interior of Zapiecek Restaurant

The interior of the restaurant is quite traditionally decorated. The main theme was wood which brought about a homely traditional feel. The wall was also written with different translations and fonts of the word “dumpling” which seems to suggest that their dumplings are quite good…

Menu at Zapiecek

Hungarian Pancake with Goulash & Pork Stew (32zl)

Spelt Pierogi with spinach leaves and cream cheese (24zl)

700ml Sangria (15zl)

There were so many types of dumplings available on the menu and after browsing for quite a while (the waitress came back to us twice), we finally decided upon the Spelt Pierogi and the Hungarian Pancake!

We chose the spelt pierogi cause of its unique ingredients of spinach and cream cheese. Usually dumplings come with meat. This is a bit different. Plus it’s recommended! The cheese was mild (much like a sauce) and went quite well with the spinach filling.

The Hungarian pancake on the other hand was REALLY filling! The starchy pancake and the meaty chunks made us really really full after the meal. The sauce was meaty with a slight tomato base so though we were quite full, it did not make us feel jerlat (too sick of it).

The meal ended with a nice glass of Sangria. Great choice by Kate. 700ml for $6SGD! 😮
