We usually eat homemade meals at home with the family, but this time my cousin invited us for pizza and sushi. I prefer Polish pizza over Taiwanese pizza, not necessarily because of the flavors, but because Polish pizza has more toppings! A large-sized pizza in Poland costs around 50zl and a sushi set with 40 pieces costs 60zl. There's a big difference because fish is usually cooked or baked in Polish sushi, rather than raw. Additionally, Polish sushi mostly consists of rolls, not nigiri sushi. We also tried some unusual flavors, such as apricot, which was surprisingly good!
Poland isn't as cheap as it used to be. Dining out was already expensive before, but now the prices are even higher. When we went to the supermarket, we noticed significant price hikes. The most noticeable price differences are in sweets, sweet drinks, or anything with high sugar content. Due to the new sugar tax, the prices have increased significantly. Nowadays, a bottle of coke costs nearly 8zl, more than double its previous price.
Compared to Taiwan, many food items are still very cheap in Poland. Having a Taiwanese salary and living in Poland would be quite good, but for many Polish people who earn the lowest salary, life is becoming more difficult.
The most expensive things in Poland are probably utility fees. Electricity prices have risen significantly since the Ukraine-Russia war started. In Taiwan, 1 kWh costs 3NT, while in Poland, it's 5NT. Another cheaper item in Taiwan is petrol, with a cost of 30NT per liter for octane-95, whereas in Poland, it's almost 50NT.
Dairy products have always been cheaper in Poland, so despite the price increases, we were happy to buy milk, butter, cheese, etc., which are less than half the price compared to Taiwan. Something I love in Poland is the variety of ham and other meats available for making sandwiches. The price that surprised me the most was the price of bread, which has more than doubled compared to the past. However, it's still a lot cheaper when considering traditional sourdough bread, not just toast, which is what we usually buy in Taiwan. On average, one loaf of bread in Poland costs around 4zl, which is about 30NT, whereas in Taiwan, if you're lucky to find it, it would cost 250NT+ unless you stick with dry toast, which costs only 50NT.
Poland has plenty of juices, mostly apple and orange flavors, but not only those! Unlike in Taiwan, the juice in Poland is not less than 10% real juice, but it's almost always pure juice. A liter of juice costs about 3zl, which is approximately 22NT, so we drank a lot of juice during our stay.
