Spring rolls

Inspired by our visit to Restaurant Asien the day before, D decided that we should attempt to make our own spring rolls. I let him take the lead in the kitchen for once... I had a really hard time to keep my fingers off! We made a bit too many.


Fresh herbs like cilantro, thai basil (which has a lovely licorice flavor), glas nudels, carrots, shrimp and cucumber.


D and his delicate (!) handiwork.


And then you dip it in hoisin sause. Yum! Maybe not as good as the ones we had at the restaurant but a good effort.

Mon Balzac

One place you have to visit, if you are a foodie, is Gdansk! Amazing food, huge portions at a cost that almost makes you ashamed. We found our favourite spot just next to the big touristy main street. Mon Balzac had great food, really lovely atmosphere and great staff!
We started our three course meal with some vodka!



Goldwasser is one of Gdansk's specialities (clear liqueur with gold flakes) but when ordering a shot, our waiter recommended their own local vodka instead. So we tried them both. And he was right. Their vodka was much better.
D had some carpaccio for starters and I enjoyed eggplants stuffed with meat and sun-dried tomatoes. Yum!



I have never tried Fondue of any form before so why not try it in Gdansk! I was a bit worried that the boiling bouillon wasn't enough to cook the meat and that we both would have to stay locked in our hotel room the next day with food poisoning! This was of course not the case at all!



I've got a extra stomach only for desserts, and one for beer, and one for bacon, so ordering a creme brulee with lemon sorbet wasn't a problem! All this delicious food and vodkas and a few glasses of red wine was only 147 zloty's (1 zl = 2,42 sek)!!
