Turkish took me out for dinner this evening. He said the light falling snow makes city walks romantic. We took a walk towards Hermitage Gardens and I can tell you I was shivering each time the cold, hard wind blew. I can't recall the romantic part LOL
We went to Korchma near M.Pushkinskaya on Ulitsa Petrovka (main branch). We have walked past many other branches of this Ukrainian cuisine restaurant at many districts but oddly, we only decided to try out the joint today. Korchma was established in 1999 and today, there are 14 branches. I'm telling you.. I should open up an eatery outlet too! Afterall, Moscow is the most expensive city in the world. Nobody will complain if the price is ridiculously high. The Russian Richie Rich families and foreign expats like.
The menu is as thick as the Biochemistry textbook. They sure have a HUGE variety of everything. I couldn't even hold the menu properly. The prints were on colourful and fancy background, I had a hard time reading its contents. Turkish likes when the restaurant has so much to offer but I prefer otherwise. Sometimes I can't even make up my mind after the next table had finished their meal and left.
Prices are very affordable and at Korchma, you can order half portion. That way, you can easily try more appertizers/dishes. I'm sure the chef cooks authentic Ukrainian cuisine. Their Borscht is lip-smackingly delicious! We both had Pork dishes, pheasant style which was very filling! In the end, we were too bloated to have Dessert! Ooohh.. one reminder about the garnish. They don't come with the Main Dish (charged separately) so don't be surprised if the bill comes a few hundred roubles extra. I mean, we were LOL
Since we couldn't budge, we decided to end our meal with Ukrainian tea. Okaylahh, taste the same like every other :P Then I started to look around.. I observed 2 things. 1 is that we weren't the only foreigners. English was heard left and right, very loudly too (after all the Taras Bulba Hot Shots (pepper vodka)). 2 is that I was the only female in the area, now how strange is that! I was surrounded by non-smoking local and foreign men! Now THAT is rare LOL
What an evening.
I'm not sure what this phenomenon is called.. "ice on roads"
It's very slippery and if not careful, you'll land on your butt!

Borscht is indeed Ukrainian, not Russian!
Turkish said the Green Borscht like his mum's Chicken Soup
