    Eating my way through Oslo

    It’s time for another small Oslo eating guide. As mentioned I had almost a full week in Oslo this time, so there was much more time to explore the city.

    I went to eat my favourite (fast food) Kebab, again. The kebab sauce/ dressing is the magic ingredient. Eating in Oslo is so much fun. Pizzas on every corner, amazing foreign foods. There is so much foreign influence in the food culture in Oslo. I always get lost at the import supermarkets. The fruit selection is to die for. 

    I also think I have found one of Oslo’s best burgers. Oslo really knows how to make good burgers! And the craft beer scene is happening.  Oslo during summer time is perfect for food exploration and shopping. You can reach pretty much everywhere by foot.  Just bring some good walking shoes. I also got to experience some of the local Oslo summer scene and went to Nesoddtangen to visit my cousin and boyfriend. They took us on a fun, – and something that felt like a typical Norwegian boat trip.

     

    MUST EATS IN OSLO.

     

    1. Bislett Kebab, they have several branches scattered around Oslo. I love the garlic and kebab sauce and the (large) size of the Kebab. Make sure to be hungry when you come here. Also, if you want the jalapeno you usually have ask for it. You can also buy the dressing to bring home.

      Drools. Not for anyone on a diet, hehe.

    2. Fiasko burger, perfectly medium cooked juicy patties. Extremely satisfying. If you love spicy, the ‘Hot Green Monster’ was enjoyable to say at least. They make their own chili mix and it’s fresh!  There’s also a good selection of craft beers and the restaurant/bar is located right in the center of Oslo. Need I say more?

      Oh my god… it was so juicy! Pair it with the Parmesan fries. YUM.

    3. Ice crime, I’m not an ice cream girl, but this place is quite unique. The flavors are not your usual ice cream flavours and they even have a brown cheese flavour that you have to try. Staff is great and let you try until you decide. Trust me, it’s gonna take a while. My recommendation is the ice cream sandwich as I’m a chocolate chip cookie fan. Perfect compo of soft and crispy.

      Guilty pleasure

    4. Istanbul Kebab in Grünerløkka had amazing authentic Turkish food. Though I have never been in Turkey, this is what I imagine it would be like. So many exiting flavours and great variation. I went for the Iskender kebab. Portions are quite big, so come hungry or share some dishes. This way you can try as much as possible too! It was messy. I was hungry. Which means no pix.
    5. RØØR, fun shuttleboard area upstairs, but the gem is downstairs in the bar… where they have 71 craft beers on tap. Great atmosphere and definitely a great place to have fun.

      What to choose?

    6. Pappas pizza, for this place, you’ll need to jump on a boat to Nesoddtangen from Aker Brygge. It’s worth it, and for the summer months, a boat trip is a must so this a good reason to go. The pizzas are perfectly baked with a creative selections of topping such as goat cheese, pomegranate, pecan nuts and all your usual favourites.

      Crispy and spicy!

      7. Heimatt Løkka. A typical Norwegian breakfast/lunch place using all the best ingredients from Tine. Tine is one of the main dairy brands in Norway making some of the best cheese, butter, yogurt, milk- you name it.  Everything was fresh and very picturesque. Heimatt is located in Grünerløkka and was supposed to only be a pop-up collaboration between Tine and Ikea. Yes, you heard me right. All the furniture is from Ikea! But… luckily for us, it seems like it’s here to stay.

    Best burger in Bangkok?

    Agh, doesn’t that look juicy… 😉

    While picking my beef and veggies made in the slow cooker at home for lunch today Tom sent me an awesome snap of his lunch containing delicious salad, salmon, coconuts and rice and chicken. I was drooling by looking at it and got even more excited when he made me promise we’d go for burgers at New York Steak & Burger in soi 22 after work. I was going crazy and felt like I finally had something to look forward to and decided to skip my oats and save up calories for some delicious burger (yes, I’m trying to diet for a while). I feel like I’m making Tom sound like a crazy eater but he had just finished a crazy leg day and whatever meals he ingested today was well deserved. I was kind of scared Tom was just talking out of hunger after workout so I made sure he didn’t forget throughout the day.

     

    When we got there we ordered the only two spicy options they have “The Atomic” and “The Firehouse Chilli” as we usually do. We chose fries as a side for one and salad on the other, as one side serving of fries is enough for two persons IMO. Anyways… over to the burger.. We always get ours medium rare, so it’s very important they get this part right. There’s nothing worse than places that grills your meat too long. This place though, OMG, the meat is so soft and the amount of bread, cheese and other fillings is just right. It’s not too full to be able to eat it with both your hands and not wet and falls apart either.

     

    This is definitely one of my favourite burger places in Bangkok, and I can’t wait til we move back to soi 22 and get to eat there more often. The price might be a bit high compared to other good burger places like Daniel Thaiger and Fatty’s, but in return you do get higher quality ingredients. I’m still not sure if they beat Chef bar though.
