Tastebud : Korea House

25 October 2023

After some time, I am trying a new place. Korean food at Korea House. I was not very enthusiastic about the price though. It is SEK250 for Kimchi tofu with rice. Great to eat flavourful kimchi with the rice. I prefer the Korean food options that I had at Madame. 

Self-pick potatoes

9 September 2023

Added and checked in bucket list. I was not aware of this activity - self pick potatoes and it was a super-fun activity! It was so easy too. There was a family who runs a farm and besides growing rape seed plants, they grow potatoes and sunflows and have their own farm shop that sells their produce. Every two weekends in September, the family opens their potato field (which is as big as 5 football fields) to the public to pick the potatoes. The family uses a small tractor to pull up the potato plants. We picked 36kg potatoes. SEK13/kg for 100kg amd weights that are more than 100kg cost SEK8/kg. At that time, the price was cheaper than the potatoes sold in the supermarket. There were two kinds of potatoes that we could choose from - the hard and the soft potatoes. We chose the soft ones. 

Because the 36kg potatoes were too heavy to be carried back to the car, we waited for the tractor to pick us and our potatoes. I hope I get to do this again next year!

Djurgården boat tour

4 September 2023

Volunteer activities with Kompis Sverige!

Today, we did an hour boat trip around Djurgården. I have always wanted to participate in this boat tour to see Djurgården islet from the waters. It was a warm day and we were lucky to have a good weather. One gets a pair of earphone and connects it to the dedicated sound system to hear explanations about the places we pass. I am thankful I get to experience this, thanks to Kompis Sverige! :)

Tastebud : An Nam

11 July 2023

Dinner experience at An Nam - a Vietnamese restaurant. There were 3 of us and we shared the dishes.

Pic 1: Appetizer Fried springrolls SEK118

Pic 2: Appetizer Mango salad SEK118 and summer spring rolls (with shrimps) SEK128

Pic 3: Main dishes Vietnamese crepe (crispy rice pancakes filled with shrimps, pieces of entrecote, beansprouts) SEK255, Fried rice with fried egg SEK198 and grilled porkchop with rice SEK218

EVERYTHING WAS YUMMY! But I think the food was pricey. 

Tastebud : TAK

4 July 2023

Dinner experience at TAK. A very expensive restaurant to see a view from the rooftop. Personally, it was nothing extraordinary. I had one of the most affordable dish on the menu - donburi which is hibachi chicken with rice for SEK225.
