Lisa Nilsson Concert

29 September 2019

Volunteer duties with Kompis Sverige - this time, we watched Lisa Nilsson live at Hotel Rival. She was a famous songstress in Sweden in the 90s and today, she is less in the limelight. She sang and talked about her background. First, she related a short text on her background and then she sang a song related to the text. She has a powerful voice and it was a good performance!

Tastebud : Thongwiset

28 September 2019

Thai food! This is a small restaurant and one has to squeeze in with the next table. It is also a squeeze to move around inside the restaurant. It will definitely be difficult to move around in the place during winter as one comes in with their huge jackets. 

We had fried fish cake for SEK135, scamp salad for SEK149 and pad thai with prawns SEK149. Really good food! Also, don't forget to book a table because there are a couple of drop-ins too that did not get their tables.

Tastebud : Berns

29 September 2019

Brunch at Berns. Lots of people said that Berns has a good variety of Asian food for brunch. The buffet brunch costs SEK395. Gosh, it is expensive. We booked our spots a month before. There were different kinds of Asian food - Chinese, Korean, Japanese and Thai, which I think were too expensive for SEK395. That is because I know how these food are made and I have eaten most of them before, so I did not think it was worth the place, but it was worth the try. The restaurant has a posh and oriental design.

Tastebud : AG

26 September 2019

Best birthday meal ever! At AG - the place that everyone should go to if one loves meat. My tummy was happy and full. I felt lucky today.

We had main dish from the menu - Ribeye on the bone with baked potato, sauce béarnaise, tomato & salad with parmesan, serves 2 persons for SEK950.

Our pre-starters - grilled bread and the dip is butter mixed with animal fat. 

We had a grilled octopus tentacle for SEK185 and mozarella for starters.

Tastebud : Sushi Sho (Michelin)

25 September 2019

Today, I treated myself and my kitchen helper to Sushi Sho from the profit we got from the sales in the Malaysian Food Fair held last month. Sushi Sho is the only japanese restaurant that has a Michelin. Funny enough, the chefs were Swedes, but the chefs studied in Japan. We had omakase and tsumami menu for SEK785 per person where we got 12 (I think) different kinds of sushi and sashimi. The sushi and sashimi were made in front of us. Drinks were not included, so I had the first sake that was offered. My kitchen helper took the sake menu where there were 4 different kinds of sake (that comes in different types of ceramic cups and glass).

I do not have the name of each sushi and sashimi. I have to say though, that the sushi rice is so good! It is cooked with vinegar too. I could not find another place with better sushi rice.
