Delicious stuffed cabbage @ Veselka in East Village New York

Veselka is a traditional Ukrainian 24 hours restaurant located in East Village of New York City. This shop was established in 1954. I chose to go to Veselka since based on my research, it was one of the best. I came here to try out their stuffed cabbage which was indeed delicious. This is a great choice for breakfast, lunch or dinner while in New York City. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for classic and delicious Ukrainian eats.

Taste:9/10(Delicious. The stuffed cabbage contains pork and rice topped with mushroom gravy were flavourful, tasty and tender. The side order of Ukrainian beet does complement this meal very well. I love the sweetness and refreshing taste of the beet).
Price:5/10(Moderate. By New York standard, the meal here is considered as reasonable. The staffed vegetable priced at USD15.75 and hot chocolate at USD3.25).


This is the delicious meal of stuffed cabbage. The stuffed cabbage rolled with pork, rice and covered with thick flavourful mushroom gravy.

Pancakes on the Rocks @ Sydney, Australia

Pancakes on the Rocks is one of the shop in Sydney where you can have your meal anytime of the day. Being a week in Sydney, I found out that there is not many shops open after 9.00pm. If you are looking for food at that time, then shop like Pancakes on the Rocks is the best option. The menu gives a wide range of pancakes, ribs and pizza. I had the coco berry and they were delicious. The pancakes portion is huge and can be easily share for two. Ice cream topping makes the pancakes taste even better.

Taste:9/10(Delicious. Among the best hot chocolate tasted. Its sweet but taste so good. I ordered coco berry which is their famous menu. Coco berry pancakes taste good however it taste even better if without the coconut flakes. The coconut flakes was dry and probably milked).
Price:5/10(Near expensive. Coco berry pancakes at AUD12.95, Devonshire pancakes at AUD6.95 and hot chocolate which they called as marshmallow cocoa at AUD3.50).


Pancakes on the Rocks open for 24 hours.


Beautifully done hot chocolate. Delicious.

Nice cosy restaurant. I came here early to avoid queue.
