ABBATip:
Try their chili olive oil. Don't let that deep yellow color fool you. It's
really good and can a be a little bit spicy.

*Good for
its price. nicely cooked with fresh ingredients. Pasta done beautifully and the
cream sauce not overly heavy. A recommended dish to myself, and I'd recommend
it to others. Portion is a little on the small side for myself, but just nice
for the ladies.*
Pesto Pasta
*Shared
as So-So only and that was cause she was hungry.*

Conveniently
located by the metro. Its great for a on-the-way out or on-the-way back
location for a meal. Nice air-conditioned place with free spotty wifi from another
provider.
Stolovaya No.57
Cafeteria Style Russian Food located on 3rd floor at the end
located in Rym Mall
located in Rym Mall
Located
in the beautiful Rym shopping mall, this place was researched before hand and
was said to a place offering cheap Russian eats. Served up Ikea style, one
picks and chooses their dishes and later having to clear ones own dishes after
a meal. Everything you pick has a price to it, and staff will tally the bill at
the checkout counter.

- The
combi meat patties.
If they've got a poster of it, it must be their signature dish.

- Baked
Cheese and mushroom
- Wrapped
egg plant with cheese.
- Rice
with choice of sauce. Their rice was more like a Paella/Risotto cross over and
went great with the mushroom sauce.
-
Sausages taste very much like German frankfurters
- Mash
potatoes were nicely seasoned and prepared well.
Pros
-
Introduction to Russian food.
-
Reasonably good, value for money eats.
- Located
in Rym shopping mall, the cafeteria shelters you from both the heat and the
cold depending your arrival date. Furthermore, it's located opposite red square
and a stone throw away from most of Moscow's tourist attractions.
Cons
-
Depending on what you order, your pick and choice may not be such a home run.
- Food
may not be served piping hot.
-
Desserts aren't that great. Some were okay,
but most weren't worth it and in fact weren't finished.
but most weren't worth it and in fact weren't finished.
Dinner
orders went for about 700-800Rubles each (Appetizers, mains, drinks and
dessert, The works)
A value
for money joint, offering a reasonable dining option in a very posh shopping
center. It serves as an introduction to Russian eats. Depending on your choices
it can be an just average to slightly above average eats.

Crabster
Located
in what seems to be another shopping street with a pub vibe feel to it in the
night, this, Instagramed-shared joint offers crab at affordable prices. The crab
meat here I suspect comes largely from snow crabs and not those cheap
production crab sticks. I could be mistaken on this part.
Ordered On:

Crab Rangoon Deep Fried Wanton with crab meat 280Rubles x2
*Impressive.
There quite a fair bit of crab meat stuffed in that crispy pocket and it goes
well with the sweet chili served along side. We saved the chilli sauce for the fries later.*
Singapore Chilli Crab 320Rubles x1
*Surprisingly
the star dish for the night. Everyone loved the sauce. It doesn't have that
strong spiciness we are accustomed to back home, but it's a little milder with
a sweet tang to it. Should have gone for a double order of this!*
Mixed seafood platter 1500Rubles x1
*One gets
what you pay for, depending on your exchange rate at point of purchase. Perhaps its
even considered a value order especially with the Alaskan crabs served, all
sliced up and ready to be enjoyed.*
Blueback Salmon Ceviche 300Rubles x2
*Really
nice. The citrus flavor wasn't over powering and it was a refreshing
seafood dish.*
Misc Drink ordered
*Their
home brewed lemonades were the clear standouts!*
Now for
the not so spectacular orders...
Baked Mussels with cheese and pepperoni, served with fries
on a side.
*Nothing
special, but the spiced fries were quite good and went perfectly with the sweet
chili sauces from the fried wanton previously ordered.*
Crab Burger 380Rubles x2
*Although
it looks good in the picture, I felt that it was a lost opportunity for
something delicious. The burger was served Cold and it was dry. Merely a put
together mash up of fresh ingredients with mayo and crab. Nothing spectacular.*
Crab Milk Soup 270Rubles x1
*The epic
fail of the night. It look so promising as well. The colors hinting at bold oriental flavors
which turned out to be nothing more than colored water. The crab meat were salvaged from this
poor concoction.*
Ukha Soup with Flat Fish 260Rubles x1
*A little
on the blend side. Nothing outstanding. I must say there's lots off dill thou.*
Fed8 at 700Rubles each
Pretty
much all our orders were anything with a crab logo against it. (Their
recommended orders). From the number of orders taken, its about a 50/50 chance
of getting something enjoyable. If one stuck to the star orders reviewed above,
then maybe it be worth the journey down for crab dishes at affordable prices.
They've
got a nice vibe to the place with free wifi available.
MyMy
(Read as MoMo in Russian)
On this
occasion we visited the branch located along Alexander garden. A popular
Russian food chain that's located around Moscow.

Chicken with pineapple appetizer
*A non
spicy curry powder similar to Amsterdam's curry pickled herring. Chicken with
pineapple appetizer. Simple fair.*
Fish Appetizer
*Interesting
- okay dish. More of a fish cake patty mixed in with flour, served with a sweet
onion topping.*
Beef steak with cheese *Star order*
*A piece
of steak cooked well and served with sweet cheese mixture on top. We went back
for a reorder, but it does need some starch to cut through the sweet cheese.*
Pork
*A very
tender piece of meat with familiar flavors of the orient which I cant put my
finger on.*
Pork Sausage
*To
standard.*
Mushroom in cheese
*Delicious
mushroom soup*
Lemonade
Cheese cake
*Pretty
good with the right consistency. not overly dense nor light. A good dessert
order*
A basic
mains with sides with drink goes for about 300Rubles, with the whole fan fair
of appetizers and desserts goes for approximately 700Rubles.
Similar
to Stolovaya No.57 reviewed above, this is like its posh cousin.
At MyMy there are definitely more, quality mains to choose from and less chances of a disappointment. However, portions here are slightly smaller in comparison but the atmosphere definitely better. Once you've familiarized yourself with MyMy, you'll start noticing this chain all over Russia. Its a convenient place for Russian eats at affordable prices.

Apparently
their lunch deals are worth the order. Dinner prices are pricey $$$.

Sides costs extra approximately 200Rubles per side.
All
dishes come with a mini salad.
Flank Steak 650Rubles
*Really
tender piece of meat, beautifully prepared and presented on a black slate. A
small accompanying salad comes with the steak. Another popular location for
flank steak is at Flat Iron in London.*
Veal Tenderloin 580Rubles
*Shared
to be okay only.*
Salmon 600Rubles
*Nothing
special. A piece of salmon, thou beautifully presented was a tad over cooked.
For a better salmon alternative that's leap and bounds better comes from
Castell's in Amsterdam.*
Seabass 600Rubles
*The star
for the night. Never tried, you'll never know. Absolutely amazing piece of
fish. Chinese often have this fish steamed or deep fried, but never prepared in
a western way. A crispy skin that stay crisp throughout, with succulent meat at
the bottom. Expertly prepared and definitely worth the try!*
Baked Eggplant, tabbouleh, yogurt 400Rubles
*It
looked promising and vibrant but it lacked luster. There could be a little more
seasoning by way of salt and more pomegranate seeds to give that sweet tartness
to the whole dish. The rest of the components worked well together and could
have been another star.*
Veal Fillet Tartare 550Rubles
*I'd say
pretty standard pricing for Tartare and really tender. Another great place for tartar is at Gyu Kaku chain found in Japan.*
Coffee Sneakers 250Rubles
*Don't
waste your time or money on this. You barely get the sneakers flavor. It could
have been better had it been a blended ice sneaker and coffee mix.*
Total 5050Rubles Fed 4
Never try,
you'll never know. The meal was much more expensive by comparison to the other meals that we had
during our stay. Was told that their lunch meal was the worth while buy.
Portions
here are small and surprisingly smaller than Il Patio featured above. It left me hungry for more and even
contemplating room service.
Despite
that, the shining dish of the night was definitely the Sea Bass and it's crispy
skin and the Veal Tar Tar. An elegant place within a nice setting of music and
cool vibes.
Worth a
revisit? Perhaps for the lunch menu if prices for that were cheaper (reported about 30-40% cheaper with the lucnh sets) and
in the evening if you weren't hungry. More of a couple's place to dine in the evenings
over a wine and enjoying the music.
How much effort a person has to make to write a beautiful post and I can understand this because I also write a post, your pose is very good and you get to learn a lot from this post.
