We were waiting for you in Iasi, in Romania. Iasi is the capital of Moldova in Romania. The old Moldovan Region of Romania was divided after the Second World War between Romania and Russia, and now the Russian part is called the Republic of Moldova.
Iasi is a city where you can visit many things. Here we have the Palace of Culture, one of the most beautiful buildings lit at night in the world. Also here we have the Gheorge Asachi Library, one of the most beautiful in the world, according to some charts. Also, the National Theater in Iasi was chosen by the BBC as one of the most beautiful theaters in the world.
We are waiting for you in Iasi, Romania. Iasi is very close to Chisinau.

I am from Moldova and I am so proud! Thank you for taking a chance and visit my country !❤💋❤
Our Pleasure, thank you for watching!
sall bro
You have a lovely country with beautiful people
One day! I will put it in my bucket list!
Salut I am also from Moldova 🇲🇩
Our moldovan food is one of the best and I'm glad that you really liked it❤
So good! Thanks for watching!
I cannot believe I am here in Berlin with the worst food ever and foreigners are traveling to my country enjoying the best food in the world 😂😂😂 I was drooling all 13 minutes watching this video 🤤 It's ⏰ to move back home 🧳🛫 Thanks guys for a great video! 😘
LOL! Thanks for watching!
You don't know how happy I am to see that foreigners actually love my forgotten little country. It gives me more hope that one day we might get more recognition, aside from "Oh yeah...Moldova is okay."
Thank you a lot for giving it a chance.
Well said!
Great video guys :) Just so you know La Placinte is not a fancy restaurant here in Moldova, it's a regular chain restaurant, but it's very good indeed. True fancy restaurants are quite expensive in Chisinau as well.
Thanks for the info!
La Placinte is actually a fast-food-y type restaurant. The quality is not exactly fast food, but they don't cook from scratch either. Eating all those dishes in one go is impressive though :)
Another thing - Moldovan cuisine is Romanian cuisine, it's not just influenced. There is no fusion... You may have a mild Russian influence, especially in Chisinau, but that's it. E.g. ask yourselves which of the dishes that you have tried is Russian? Maybe colțunași (dumplings), but then again I am not sure they are a Russian influence. There is a higher probability that it might be Polish or even Tatar...
Enjoy your travels!
Thanks so much ❤️
Închidete fastfudule
Captu îi romîn
There's a lot of influence from Turkey, Russia, Romans and Romania (with which we share a lot of history, including food :) )
@@sofia2104 Rusia nu dă un scuipat pe La plăcinte ei vor să ne bombardeze cum adică
Hello from Romania & thank you both for promoting our beautiful sister called Moldova!:)
Our pleasure!
Republic of Moldova was a Romenian province until 1940. The province was called Basarabia. Rominia is the mother country.
@@michellesmets501 True
🙏🤗🙏
calm down baby! Romania is neither sister nor brother !! Moldova is the mother of Romania ... because Moldova has more than half the lands in Romania, which remained after Romania was not able to defend the real Mother of Romania, Moldova! Which has more years of existence than Romania !! Moldova is so old that it can keep its traditions and history with its culture! Besides Romania, where he forgot everything, the kitchen is usually silent! where for them it is bussines, for us it is a tradition that we use every day, not like in rum, ania Saorma learn history...
Moldova is an amazing country.
A hidden gem.
Thanks for your comment!
I am from Moldova, and all the places you have showed in this video are actually very familiar to me because I live in this region (Centru-Centre). It is crazy to see foreign people visiting my country, because very few people do. Despite that, out culture, history and cuisine is very prominent in out day to day life, the thing I am really proud of. Thank you for visiting this beautiful and culturly rich country))
Aw thank you for watching Amelia!
i visit Moldova in July, and i am so excited to explore Chisinau
I'm from Chișinău. Very glad you liked our cuisine🙂. It is really good. You guys are awesome, I like the way you describe and review everything. Good luck to you guys!👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️
Thanks so much!
I am from Chisinau, but work in Europe. First what I am doing, when come home - order all my favorite food, what I miss a lot, and what u showed in that video! Thank u, I feel hungry now)))
Hahaha! Thanks for watching!
It was nice to see you enjoying the Moldovan food😍I’m from Chișinău❤️
Hey! Aw amazing thanks for watching ❤️
Moldova is unfortunately soooo underrated and it is so sad because it is such a beautiful and cool country 🇲🇩
Agreed!
From the air Chisinau looks like a forest with some bulidings in between,sooo green.
It really is so green!
I really appreciate the videos from Moldova. I really enjoyed this adventure. There is such beauty there that I never imagined existed. It is a well-known saying that "all that glitters is not gold". Just because a place is very popular doesn't mean it offers the best experience. Although Moldova's economy is not the best, there is beauty in nature, in its landscapes, in its villages with dirt roads, in its rustic panorama, not to mention its women. Thank you very much, it is very nice.
Glad you are enjoying the time in my city.
One thing that I would add is that dumplings (vegetarian ones with the likes of cheese, potatoes and various fruits, that we call colțunași) are also traditional to Moldova and Romania. It is not necessarily a Soviet import, though arguably they became more popular here because of that era.
Interesting! Thanks for letting us know!
As an Englishman living in north east Romania, everything here looked normal to me :)
Great food!
Good lad!✌️
I am from Moldova and I am so proud! Thank you !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Great job! Enjoy your time there. 🇲🇩🤗Greetings from a Moldovean living in the Netherlands. 👋
Hey! Thanks for watching!
Moldavian here, thank you for promoting our small lil country :)
Our pleasure!
God bless my beautiful Moldova 🇲🇩🙏🏻
Thanks for watching ❤️
Traditionally there are 2 types of Sarmale:
Wine leaf vs. cabbage
Cabbage being more typical for winter- and cabbage sarmale are pretty much a standard component of romanian/moldovan christmas meal
BTW Sarmale is derived from the turkish word Sarma (wrapped) whereas Turks and Greeks also use the word Dolma / Dolmades for the same thing
Yaaas we have tried it in Cyprus too. These were defo one of the best!
@@dabbleandtravel Greeks and Turks also have vegetarian ones without minced meat but that isn't typical for Romanian sarmale
Depends, my mom is cooking about 3 types of sarmale 🤗, and is totally different recipe from what you can found in any another restaurant ❤️
And yes, I am from Moldova 🥰
You guys chose a good place to visit and you have a lot more to explore there, even it is a small country. And by the way if you travel in October, you have a chance to see Wine Festival! Especially is quite adventure, if you will visit not only the festival in Chisinau but also local cities where they have Festival Market with a different ranges of dishes, hand made souvenirs, etc. You are welcome to come to Briceni city❤️
Alot of Moldovans call Sarmale Galoosh/Galooshti
@@varatic644 Ca la găluște de supă? Interesant
Poloneși au ceva similar ca Sarmalele de varză și le spun Golubzi
Haha, wrong time to be watching. Feeling hungry now. That is a crazy price for all that food. And beers. Good video. Thank you for sharing. Have a great weekend.
Thanks for watching!
Hello from a Moldovan girl based in Italy. Even food is insane, you made me soo hungry. Sometimes I miss plăcinte so much. Thank u for the vlog
By the way, prices are not so affordable considering that average salary in Moldova is 200€!
Thanks for watching Maria! Price wise we meant for tourists :)
Considering the average salary in Moldova is 465€!
Go to school and study more, dear...
I love my country and i hope everyone will understand what beautiful country we have
Us too! Thanks for watching!
Thank you for visiting my country and not doing the typical trashtalking clickbait videos!
YOU MUST GO TO THE UNDERGROUNF CITY OF CRICOVA
Future videos are coming soon!
@@dabbleandtravel you have been there already ?
В Криково интересно и очень вкусное вино.
I'm from Moldova - Chișinău and I'm happy to see you in my country 🥰
Thank you so much!
I like to believe when you return to your home and you will drink a beer. you will say Noroc !!!
We do ❤️🤣
Haha, you guys, "mamaliga" is the romanian name of what in English is called "polenta", which is really made of the corn flour called "cornmeal"! So glad you enjoyed it all!!
and they eat that 2 weeks in Romania ...
polenta is Italian not English ;)
thank you so much for shining a light on us!
Thanks for watching!
Enjoy Beautiful Moldova
I think you experienced a small part of Moldovan food culture....but considering you were here only a few days, i would say you did very well
Thanks for watching!

Hey guys! Thanks for the video. Watching you from London about my lovely city- Chisinau 👍
Thank you for watching!
Lovely culture, the food looks divine. Sending love from America
Oh that food looked so good. I wish we had smella-vison and tastea-vison. Moldova is a well kept secret. You guys did a good job in bringing that out in the vlog as always. we love you guys. Looking forward to the next vlog, Your biggest fans, Harriet and Jim Richmond, Va.
Thank you so much 🤗
The restaurant you have been too La Taifas is on the the higher end traditional restaurants, the Word Taifas is an Old Romanian ward that roughly translates to Gossip.
That is really interesting to know, thank you!
Actually is greek!
@@cosmincasuta486 An old Romanian ward that was taken from Greek. Is that better?
@@kinai01 Much better and correct!
Gossip is the dictionary translation. Gossip in Romanian is "birfa". Taifas actually means "people talking about whatever comes to mind".
So nice to see you guys in our country ❤️❤️
Thank you for watching! ❤️
Thanks guys for promoting the country in such a good way! I hope you had a great time and you're welcome back🇲🇩❤❤❤ While watching you eating placinta, I am eating a carvery in Middlesbrough 😄🇬🇧
Ahahahahahaha hope you enjoy the carvery! Thanks for watching!

@@dabbleandtravel thanks molly
Looks delicious!!

Yes it was! Thanks for watching!
Thanks for visiting us guys
Cheers for the nice videos
Let’s have a beer in London when you’re in 🍺
Sounds great! Thanks for watching Nick!
❤❤thanks for thiss great video
I wonder, what was your expectations about Romania and Moldova and what do you think now?
We didn’t have any expectations of either, we knew what we were going to see in Romania but Moldova was a huge surprise! 🥰😍
amazing food..great video x
Thanks Simon!
Thank you so much for recommending La Placinte. We too ordered way too much. Delicious though. 2 very happy Scottish tummies 😊
Our pleasure! Thanks for watching!!! Glad you enjoyed !!
Yummmm ! Food looked amazing
It sure was 🤣
La Placinte & La Taifas...are two restaurants popular in Romania as well...I am surprised to see them in Chisinau too 😵. The food is the same apart from the dumplings which we do not traditionally eat.
We do make make both cabbage and vine leaves sarmale..both very good..also..they never taste the same..depending of the filling and condiments. Pastries look good..yummi...our traditional food is heavy but we don't eat quite like this everyday..but on special days. 😀Enjoy! Can't wait to see more!!
Yes it was extremely heavy! Thank you for watching!
"La Placinte" is a Moldovan restaurant chain created and developed in Moldova, promoting Moldovan food. This restaurant chain has also expanded to Romania. You can inform yourself about this, Google will help you.😉
La Placinte este originar din Chisinau..
It's a chain from Moldova, which also spread to Romania
much like romanian food a?:)) glad you enjoyed it
Very similar! Thanks for watching!
@@dabbleandtravel Because Moldova is Romania!
@@m.dewylde5287 If you don't know our history, don't talk, please. We can talk hours about my country history and historical territories. Same language, same tradition, same blood!
How do you explain the historical sovereignty of Moldova if they speak the same language as ours, identical!
How was the ethnogenesis of the Moldovan people and their language formed, if they have their own sovereignty?
Learn about Stalinist deportations from Bessarabia to Siberia, I have friends who lost their deported grandparents!
@@m.dewylde5287 respect from 🇲🇩
Looks soooooo 😊 good
The best food 🥘. Bravo, Chisinaul meu iubit ❤
Let’s go bro I’m Moldovan and thanks for tasting our food ❤
Awesome video, you have a lot to visit in Moldova, there are also other restaurants that you should visit, come soon ❤
Thanks Daniela ❤️
Mmm. Love Moldova .....
Thanks for watching!
Love the food
Thanks for watching!
Im from Moldova thank you very much for thank you very much for visiting! ❤️
Thank you!
I love Moldovan cuisine 🥰🥰🥰
Great vid. FYI “Pla-CHin-ta” is pronunciation for placinta.
Well get there 🤣🤣
Yep) Or Pla-she-nta if you for a more Moldovan pronunciation
I was like, hmmmm, "placenta" doesn't sound quite right!
You should have offset all the heavy staple with lots of wine. Your best bet in Bessarabia (the geographical term of Moldavia between the Pruth and Dniester rivers) are the monasteries and wineries.
The geographical term of Moldavia between the Pruth and Dniester is not Bessarabia.
You are wrong, go to school and study more. dear...
Very good👍
Thank you! Cheers!
You should also visit Vatra Neamului, right next to La Taifas, the fanciest traditional restaurant 😘
Thanks for the recommendation!
Hi. If you ever wondered what "La Taifas" meaning =At a pleasant conversation or at a chit chat something like that:)
Enjoi you'r meels, its best food, and organic. 💖
Thank you!
Hai noroc from Manchester :)
Hey! Thanks for watching!
Hai noroc și sănătate from Ilkeston. Moldova ❤️

Hello my idols have a wonderful weekdays wow another beautiful adventures of this week and with a yummy foods so delicious you make me hungry guys I’m glad you have a wonderful and delicious foods take care and always be safe I love you guys and god bless 💖💖💖👍👍👍👌👌👌
Thank you so much ❤️
moldovans eats mamaliga with fry chiken or pork. romanians with sarmale. if u are eating too much food u need probiotic wich are in pickle cabbage, tomato... u need ask a local how to eat ))) bravo for video!
A very fun fact about our city capital, if you look at the buildings, you can still see the soviet emblem (only the old buildings in the centre).
And by the way, the placinte you ate are not the "best" ones. The bes of the best are served at the countryside wineries like: Purcari, Milestii Mici, etc.
you would enjoy the other big Moldovan city, Iași (Yash), the historical capital of Moldova, which now lies in Romania but is still Moldovan in culture etc
Thanks for the recommendation!
Guys, there is no influence from Russia in this food :). It is all traditional Moldovan cuisine that dates back hundreds of years.
You are trying out the café version, but in the villages, nearly all families have been cooking these dishes for hundreds of years, and they are even better than what you find in city cafes. Moreover, there are numerous variations of these dishes. For example, Plăcinta can have different fillings, such as cherry, apples, pumpkin, cabbage, and so on.
Moldova✌️

your video makes me pack and fly to Moldova immediately!

Моя бабушка попала на видео😂
