Tastebud : Melanders

14 February 2020

Happy Valentine's Day! The streets are full with men holding bouquet of flowers and presents in their hands. Even the florists are filled with men queuing up to buy flowers. On this day, flowers are so expensive. I got my flowers too. *shy*

I get to enjoy a valentine dinner today. I feel spoiled. We went to Melanders, a fish restaurant. This place has a bar and a fish shop today. It is a big place as it needs to cater to 3 different businesses. There is a Valentine Day's menu for SEK645 - pre-starters (called as amuse), starters, main dish and dessert. 

As pre-starters, we had oysters. The taste is so smooth and warm.

This is the starters - lobster-glaced king crab meat. 

For the main dish, one can either have the turbot fish that comes with almond potato puree, champagne foam, grilled mushroom and sliced yellow beetroot.

.. or have the meat dish - butter-fried pheasant breast with citron and thyme, a brussel sprout (yes, just one) and earthy chips. 

For dessert, it is chocolate brulee with mango cubes, passion fruits and champagne jelly. 

Yes, I was full by the end of the meal.

Tastebud : Combo

11 February 2020

Moroccan stewed ox meat at Combo which is located in K25, a food court. SEK110. The food was so yummy that we were inspired to cook this dish by ourselves, and it was so good, I mean, the food we cooked. I am not boasting. It is true! It is very easy to cook. 

Concert: German masterwork with The Radio Choir

8 February 2020

Volunteer duties with Kompis Sverige today. We went to see a concert at Berwardhallen. We took the train to Karlaplan train station and walked for 11 minutes to the venue. This was my first time here. There were no steps in the concert hall where we listened to the choir, instead, it was a gradually tilted floor. Today, we listened to the Swedish Radio Choir where they sang acapella. Their voices were amazing. 

Tastebud : Tokyo Diner

7 February 2020

Today, we had Japanese food for dinner in a place called Tokyo Diner in Hötorgshallen. There was a queue waiting to be seated by 5.30pm. Luckily, we came early at 5pm.

We had noodles with fried crisp duck meat and egg cooked at 62 degrees for SEK155 and pulled pork in tacos for SEK149. Both dishes were delicious although I have to admit I was hungry afterwards and we went to have dessert - semla buns!

Tastebud : Swedish Diner by Basilica

6 February 2020

A place that I will not recommend to visit - Swedish Diner by Basilica located in Mall of Scandinavia. I placed an order for the grilled entrecote as it was stated on the menu as evening's recommendation. For SEK179, I had 2 thin slices of grilled entrecote that covered two giant potatoes underneath it. I felt cheated.
