Russian Delites

Ever since Todd traveled with our friend Igor to Russia, the desire to eat authentic Russian food again has never left him. There is only one Russian restaurant on our island. Usually we avoid restaurants that don't do international food well, which most of them don't. There's always a few spices or a few exchanges they make in the ingredients that Southeast-Asianizes the food! But here's our tribute to Igor and delicious Russian food:

No smiling in Russian photographs.
When Todd went to anything touristy in Russia,
he just let Igor talk and most people thought he was Russian!

Russian dumplings. Mmmm!

Borsche, a Russian soup. It was close but not the same as in Russia.You have to say it in a low voice with a Russian accent, "I eat Borsche."

It's the hospitable thing to do in Russia to drink a shot of Vodka before a meal. Well, this was a local drink that wasn't quite as tasty as Vodka. Still, we enjoyed our Russian-Southeast Asian experience.
