Kapitan Restaurant at Maxwell Chambers in Singapore

Cottage cheese vareniki

I'm not sure when this happened, but the Ang Moh Dumplings folks have migrated over to a proper restaurant with a tacky nautical theme (32 Maxwell Road, #01-05). And being in a restaurant setting meant that they offered a full menu now, where they really pushed the concept with things like an Uzbek pilaf labeled as "Angmoh Briyani" as well as a Crimean Tata chebureki turnover labeled as "Angmoh Curry Puff (but no curry)." Ha!

I stuck to dumplings though, with those Ukrainian vareniki above featuring a thick and borderline uncooked wrapper. But they were filled with homemade cottage cheese that was pleasantly acidic. I was happy to gobble them up with sour cream and consume them with a Georgian soup called kharcho, which was thinner and spicier than I was expecting but was still satisfyingly salty. I want to try their potato pancakes and salted herring next.
