Pontus Seafood Bar – review
Our last outing under Restaurant Week. I’ve been looking forward to this menu ever since I found out about Restaurant Week. I mean, who wouldn’t drool at the word bouillabaisse? I’ve never eaten this before but it’s the main reason I want to go to Provence. Enough said, let’s get...Read more
Prima Cucina – review
And our dining out experience continues with Krogveckan… Prima Cucina has an extensive menu for the special Restaurant Week which was mainly the reason why I chose it. We were 5 people and the restaurant was one third full. This is a neighborhood restaurant so that might have explain it....Read more
What’s in a name?
I was rereading my post from last week and noticed that I used the word ‘scallion’. I rarely use this word as I prefer spring onion although I’ve also heard green onion. When we were down under and in Kiwiland, we got confused over the different terms for coffee –...Read more
Melanders butik och brasserie – review
And the restaurant visits continue… I chose this restaurant to try out because of the menu. I still remember the scene in Julie & Julia about boeuf bourguignon. Who could resist French onion soup and boeuf bourguignon? This restaurant is above our budget but since it’s Krogveckan, we had to try...Read more
Cause of death: starvation
I read in ABC News, that a family in Japan has died from starvation. The family consisted of a couple in their 60′s and their son, a 30-something. It’s sad to read about starvation in Africa or other third world countries but sadder to think that this happened in Tokyo, Japan...Read more
Andalucia review
It’s Krogveckan or restaurant week in Sweden and affiliated restaurants offer 2 courses for 200 crowns. This is a bargain since eating out in Sweden costs an arm and a leg. I chose this restaurant because of the menu. I had the Serrano ham and chorizo as the first course...Read more
Lucky garden review
We booked 2 tables for 18 pers for 12:30 and it was packed with Chinese families so it was a good indication that the food’s good. Being in Scandinavia, we had to order from a dim sum menu instead of pointing at dishes on carts that the staff wheel around,...Read more
Kitchen turned war zone
This is the state of our kitchen now. We’re kitchenless for the next 3 weeks. There are loads of food in the freezer ready to be nuked and eaten but just the thought of not being able to cook makes me really sad! It’s always been the center of our...Read more
Review of Nem Nem Quan
We were 8 in the group and had a table for 8pm. Unfortunately, the restaurant was packed (because of Valentine’s Day?) and the service suffered as a result. First of all, they didn’t have enough menus to go around so we had to share. As most of us were novices at Vietnamese...Read more
Américain
Yes, it’s French for American but is also a dish – steak tartare à la mode belgique. Most if not all brasseries in Brussels offer this dish as their house specialty. The more reputable restaurants grind the meat to order. So what exactly is l’Américain? It’s minced beef with condiments – raw...Read more
