If you like to try different foods, you should check out the Crossroads Mall next time you’re in the Seattle area. It is in Bellevue on the corner of 8th and 156th. They have a Piroshky Piroshky booth and there is plenty of seating. There are also booths featuring authentic Korean, Japanese, Greek, Indian, Thai, and many more. On weekend nights, there is a stage with live music in the center, and you can play Chess on a giant set. There are two sets, one quite competitive and one at the other end for recreational players.

Really a fun spot that tourists don’t know about. It caters to Microsoft employees who hail from all corners of the globe.

We came across this shop and ordered a cheese pirosky. They seemed a little spendy but it was so worth it. We went back and bought more because they were so great.

I figure it was too crowded for you to get a shot of the display case:

I LOVE that place! Good thing piroshkis are little pies and not perogies. I look forward to Piroshky Piroshky above all else (food) in Seattle. :D

The Russian equivalent (in food terms, not linguistic terms) for pirogies are verenekies. Piroshkis translate as little pies and are baked.

I love this place.
Went there during my last trip to Seattle and had a savory pastry containing salmon and cream sauce (forget the name). It was delicious. A bit on the expensive side though (maybe I’m too accustomed to Chinese bakeries).

Yeah I love ‘em too, esp. the onion or cheddar/onion fillings. I pan fry ‘em in a non-stick like Japanese gyozas so there’s that nice crispy caramelized bottom. I use 5% or more sour cream with some chopped basil and chives mixed in as accompaniment. Mmmmmm.

Check out this site on Dumplings of the World: http://www.kaleberg.com/dumplings/dumplings.html

And wikipedia says piroshki=pierogi.

And since they are Chinese-looking serving Russian/Eastern European food, maybe they are from those areas that are mixed. I had a student from Kazakhstan who looked like kids in Hawai’i that are mixed Asian and white. And do you remember that model Irina Pantaeva? She is from Siberia and looks Asian.

Perogies are the best! If you haven’t tried them you have to. Homemade ones are the best but store bought are ok too…just don’t get the cottage cheese kind. You can either boil them or cook them in a frying pan with a touch of butter. Traditionally they are served with sour cream for dipping but salsa goes well with them too.

When my mom cooks them she serves them on a plate with diced up tomatoes and onion and a sprinkle of cheddar cheese on top.
