Far from Malaysia and close to the Arctic, it's uncommon for Penangites to have a taste of Russia but with the opening of Vkusno Dom, Penangites can now relate themselves closer to the host country of World Cup 2018. The restaurant offers homely Russian classics in a sophisticated setting, expect to see traditional Russian dishes like Borscht, Salat Olivier, Pelmenis or if you are in the mood, start with a shot of Vodka. The restaurant is manned by Russians (or perhaps Ukrainians?) so the authenticity factor is definitely there... but be prepared to bear with the strong Russian accent (if you speak English with them but that's part of the experience of course). Dishes are reasonably priced, cozy dining atmosphere and friendly servers; definitely a place to experience Russian culture if you have not already done so.
