Tastebud : Trattorian

26 September 2021

IT IS MY BIRTHDAY TODAY!

Initially, I chose a French cafe but there was a long queue to get in. So, we continued cycling and saw a brunch sign which is what I intended to have (brunch). The place is called Trattorian and it is an Italian restaurant. It costs SEK365 per person. It is a short buffet brunch. The food is so yummy and we got there just in time before the crowd poured in. At least, I know the place is good. There was even dessert too.

I enjoyed the interior of the restaurant. Pots and weaved baskets hanging from the ceiling. I wondered if they use them. I saw pizza and I was so curious by them. I thought that since this is an Italian restaurant, they must serve good pizza but I was wrong. There was nothing special about the pizza. Thick dough, not crusty, felt very full from it. I would not recommend the pizza. BUT the pork belly was so delicious! I had two helpings. Hehe... There are not much photos of the food because it was difficult to take photos with a queue behind me. 

Tastebud : Fru Bellman Cafe

25 September 2021

It is my birthday weekend! I like to try new stuff on my birthday. I usually travel during my birthday month but it has not happened since I moved to Sweden. In Sweden, holidays are usually taken during summer, a week during autumn (for the school holidays in October), a week during sport break (in March for the school holidays) and a week during Christmas. So, no one takes a break in September unless the person is not working.

It was a sunny weekend too. It was difficult for me to decide which cafe to choose as Stockholm has soooo many cafes as people here love to drink coffee and hang out in cafes. So, I chose a place in Södermalm which is located in the south of Stockholm. It took us about 50 minutes to cycle. Fru Bellman Cafe is apparently the oldest cafe in Södermalm. That was why I chose the place. It needs to have something outstanding. By the way, Fru = wife.

I like the extra touch of a red rose on the table. We got served sourdough bread while waiting for our meal. I had vegetarian salad for SEK109. I was very full from this, which is very surprising. I thought I will be very hungry from the cycling but I took extra time to finish my meal.

Tastebud : Noorii Mall of Scandinavia

10 September 2021

Today, I cycled to Mall of Scandinavia to take passport-sized photos in a photo booth. It is so convenient! It is cheaper than going to a photo shop. The photo booth is located right opposite the information counter. I selected 'foreign passport' and a large size, paid SEK149, got my photos taken as many times as I wanted (deleted and retook) until I was satisfied, and printed the 4 photos on the spot. It is really so easy. When I got home, I cut the passport-sized photos according to the measurement.

Because I did it during lunch hour, I decided to have my lunch in the mall. It was a lunch offer at Noorii. SEK115 for my salmon poke bowl and it came with miso soup. A healthy meal, I could tell myself. Haha! I was full from this because it has rice at the bottom. I have not been eating rice and noodles lately, so eating a bit of rice makes me full.
