Tastebud : Bird Söder (South)

23 October 2021

Today, we tried a recommended restaurant or bistro as I may call it. I booked brunch at Bird which is located in Södermalm. They have 2 branches and I took the one which has the brunch option. Södermalm is an area famous for its hipsters so I am not surprised they have a brunch option. Funnily, brunch starts at 12pm! It was challenging choosing a place to try its food and I chose this place because their menu serves fried chicken on a doughnut! Haha! I thought it was very unhealthy and I decided to try it. 

Overall, the food was so delicious! I could not stop gushing how so good they were each time I had a bite! And not too expensive as it was about SEK150 per plate. It would be better if you come with a group of friends and one can share the meals. In total, we paid SEK690. Food and drinks (cola zero for SEK40 and ginger beer for SEK45).

Tastebud : Eat East

12 October 2021

Today, I met up with some new people who I have been talking to on WhatsApp and finally got the chance to meet them. We met up at Eat East restaurant which serves Sichuan food. I was informed that this is one of the best Chinese restaurant. I had a faint idea on what Sichuan food is because I travelled to China many years ago. It was still the same taste as how I remembered. I do not enjoy Sichuan's taste too much because the chili has a weird after-taste. A sort of 'cutting' taste that lingers on the tongue and not something I fancy. It is hard to describe.

We had pakchoy for SEK99 (very expensive for me), pork ribs for SEK179 (the meat on the pork ribs were very little), seafood (tiger prawn, mussel, squid, tofu skin, black fungus) for SEK199 and tilapia fish for SEK149. The seafood and tilapia came in chili oil so the dish was very oily and a bit spicy too. Each of us got a bowl of rice. There were 4 of us so the meal became affordable. 

I would not mind coming again but I will try a different kind of dish. And it is better to come with a group so that one can order various dishes and try all of them. I think 4 is a good number! :)
