The Vilnius people who went to Trakai during the quarantine to taste the legendary kibinas were shocked: they will have to come back here again.

Our mission was to taste 3 different kibins and choose the most delicious ones. But not everything was as good as we expected.

First we stopped at the Old Kibininė van. We chose a kibin with lamb (2.50 euros) and the other with vegetables (1.60 euros).

The lamb kibin dough was very tasty, crispy, the meat was minced, the fat did not come off, the spices were chosen correctly and the salt was neither too much nor too little. It was a great kibin, right, how expensive. But, of course, you have to understand that it is not with pork.

The kibino dough with vegetables (before filling the filling) was a bit too sweet. It felt like the palate was greeted with a sweet dessert filling, not veggies, but the veggies were well prepared and eventually the flavors of the stuffing and batter balanced.

We move to second place in “Kibinai country”. At around 7:30 pm we didn’t find anything near the kibinine, only the lights were on the outside of the house, but all the entrances were closed. I couldn’t taste kibins.

Third place on the trail is Kybynlar, but even there everything was closed. After searching for information on Facebook to see if the national restaurant Karaite is operating in quarantine, we learned that it has closed its doors until spring.

“Hello friends! Because the restriction of circulation between municipalities has been extended until February 28 of this year. Therefore, we have no choice but to extend the temporary closure until February 28 of this year. We want to stay strong and protect you and your family! ”Kybynlar wrote on his social media account.

So without picking up anything we went back to the first place and asked for two more kibinas, with mushrooms (1.80 euros) and with sweet curd (2.10 euros).

The kibin with the mushrooms was of average quality, the mushrooms were like sticky, gray. It is true that if the kibin with mushrooms were not only made with mushrooms and vegetables, but also seasoned with Lithuanian, even if it is frozen or dried mushrooms, oregano or squirrel, it would be more remarkable.

After the three kibinas of cheese, the sweet with curd topped everything and it was like a dessert for a grand finale. The sweetness is good, but the curd itself is a bit rubbery.

It remains to end the quarantine and return to Trakai when everything is working. Then we can check the quality of other kibin productions.
