Asian food - is it easy to find in Poland (particularly Lublin)?

Seanus- i was more looking for the ingredients... large tortillas in particular. They make a great way to make a quick breakfast/lunch and have it on the go (scramble some eggs, toss in a few peices of pre-cooked pork/chicken/beef, sprinkle some cheese and wrap it up; eat it while you walk or waiting for the bus).

Ingredients, hmm, I'm no expert.

They give away Tortillas in every possible place nowadays, even in mcdonald, probably it's not the real deal but always some kind of a substitute.. I dunno of any mexican or north american restaurants in Silesia.. but I can only speak for Zabrze and Gliwice...

DN – Go to Delima (formally Stokrotka), in The Lublin Plaza. You can find many 'world foods' such as housin sauces, marinades, bamboo shoots, udon noodles, tortillas etc. Unfortunately, most of these products aren't very cheap because they are usually imported.

lol... maybe it changed owners, cuz that's the one i went to in 2000 or so in my post up top (the one about the weird kung po)

I've been to this place recently and I had a similar experience to Elssha. I decided to play it safe and order chicken chow mein. It came in a large glass soup bowl (with a spoon) and the noodles tasted like super noodles! Maybe it was just me because everyone else in the restaurant seemed to be enjoying themselves.

After numerous disappointing experiences with foreign cuisine in Poland, I've decided to give up and stick to Polish food.

what does that mean, exactly? Is that like an instant ramen brand (or that like?)

I figured I'd have to ween myself off the stuff, still nice to have it every once in a while. Plus I assume making it yourself isn't more $$$ than going to a place and ordering the finished product *shrug*

SuperNoodles is just an instant dried noodle brand, popular with students!

Well going to a restaurant doesn't guarantee a quality 'finished product' anyway. Having tried quite a few oriental restaurants in Poland, I can tell you that you'd be better off saving your money and buying the ingredients yourself.

I've attempted to make some Thai and Indian dishes here and they usually turn out alright. In most cases you'll have to use some alternative ingredients due to availability, but that sometimes adds to the excitement of it!

Good luck!

Wash it down with some Goolmans. This is a local brew, very drinkable.

<<< kinda lived off instant noodle all winter first year of college. That was my limit on the stuff. Instant udon's okay, but yeah, ramen is a no-go unless it's the real (non-instant) kind ^_^
